The Democratic Man Seminar

A seminar dealing with the essence of democracy as a shared society for different people. Through encountering and dealing with issues and disputes from everyday life, participants will practice dealing with disagreement and receive tools for discourse that strengthens the foundations of mutual responsibility even in the face of differences of opinion.

The State of Israel has been a democratic country since its establishment, embracing different groups, movements, and opinions and dealing with complex social tensions. Young people who grow up and mature in Israel have lived in a democratic country since birth or since immigrating to Israel. As educators, we have a duty to educate the adult citizens of the future—citizens who do not live democracy passively and unconsciously, but choose to be democratic in all areas of life, realizing the values of human dignity and social responsibility that underlie democracy.

Against the backdrop of growing anti-democratic tendencies in Israeli society, we believe it is important to strengthen democratic awareness and responsibility among young people. This seminar addresses this issue by presenting current social dilemmas and emphasizing that each of us has a crucial role to play in shaping the reality of our country.

Seminar schedule:

  • Opening games that break the routine
  • Limitations of Power in Democracy – An Examination of the Democratic System Between System and Substance
