| Balfour St. i Haifa, 1950-talet. Vykort |
Man ska inte förlora sig i drömmar och falsk historia. Men det är ett faktum att Haifa länge var den stad i Israel där det fanns små, små hoppfulla tecken. Nog minns jag Beit Ha´Gefen, det finns för övrigt kvar. Redan en liten titt, så förstår ni varför det symboliserar något helt annat än massmördande islamister.
"Beit Ha'Gefen, an
Arab-Jewish center founded in 1963 as a pioneer in the field of
intercultural dialogue, is a nonprofit organization that strives to
establish equalitarian and shared spaces that contain the diversity of
identities and cultures in Israel and worldwide. The center is a key
player in instilling the intercultural attitude and constructing a
shared society, and leads social and community centered processes in the
spirit of democratic values, while providing tools for dealing with the
complex issues inherent to a society comprised of many cultures.
Beit Ha'Gefen is active in the fields of culture, art, education, and
tourism, while maintaining a connection with the community and
constantly expanding the circles of collaborations with institutions
that strive to promote similar goals in Israel and worldwide. Our
activity is based on the conviction that an encounter and an
interpersonal familiarity with another culture – its stories, cultural
and spiritual assets, are essential for breaking down barriers and
building trust between the different national and religious groups
living in Haifa and in Israel.
Beit Ha'Gefen’s professional team has extensive experience in developing
and implementing programs that engage with intercultural dialogue for a
broad range of audiences. Beit Ha'Gefen creates diverse projects with
the different disciplines in which it operates: theater, library, youth
club, women and girls empowerment, culture, music, and more.
Welcome"
