More on the Learning Exchange Fill out an application |
The Boston-Haifa Learning Exchange is a partnership of organizations in both Boston and Haifa that brings together social change leaders from the two cities. Participants in the Learning Exchange enjoy opportunities to develop socially responsible leadership in a global context. The program centers on two travel seminars—one in Haifa and one in Boston—that allow participants to experience firsthand the dimensions of social justice and leadership in America and Israel.
During their trip to Israel, Boston participants will visit cultural, historical, political, and religious sites, such as the Old City of Jerusalem and the Church of Anunciation in Nazareth, followed by three days of intensive learning in Haifa. Later in the year, the Haifa leaders come to Boston to further develop this learning community. Following the exchange, participants will continue to maintain the relationships they have developed with their peers.
