Explore is a brand-new programme for Sixth Formers to be offered to schools and youth organisations. During the programme, students will explore the rich history, culture, and diversity of Israel through a series of fun and interactive workshops. Whether it be the rise of the modern Zionist Movement or the legacy of Israeli Eurovision, there is something for everyone to explore and discover about the Jewish State.
Get to know StartUp
StandWithUs was established in the United States in 2001 during the Second Intifada and since then the organisation has been working to educate about Israel and the fight against antisemitism on 5 continents in 8 different languages – in secondary schools, universities, social networks, around the world and here in Israel!
Explore was launched in 2022 as a course for Sixth Formers that can be delivered in a number of sessions tailor-made for your school, Synagogue youth or youth movement!
In Explore, pupils will discover the essentials of Israel: what makes this country so unique? What are the ingredients to creating such a success story and who were the key players in making it happen? Participants will also discover the roots of the conflict with the Arabs and Palestinians and learn about the attempts made to negotiate a peaceful solution. As well as this, Sixth Formers will learn valuable information as they prepare to enter higher education or enter the working world after completing A-Levels.
Explore can be delivered over a few weeks or several months, depending on your needs. You can also select which topics you wish to cover with your pupils.
