Forum of Joint Cities
Facilitated by Shai Horev (Acco), Aliza Silura (Ramla), Yaron Levin (Haifa), Noa Shalev (Lod), and Laiki Saban (Acco/Jerusalem).
This workshop demonstrated the model used by the Gishurim Centers (municipal mediation centers in mixed cities: Acco, Lod, Ramla, and Haifa). The multi-faceted workshop covered conflict resolution, multi-cultural community leadership, inter-cultural community dialogue, and partnerships.
Working in smaller groups, participants were presented with a case-study from one of the centers. Through questioning and investigating, participants applied the principles and model to the case study, while exploring additional options for resolution.
