Cultural Diversity Tour in Haifa

The tour describes the story of the Hadar Carmel neighborhood in Haifa as a lower-middle-class neighborhood, where very diverse populations live side by side in close quarters, thus constituting a microcosm of Israeli society and a test case for it.

הסיור מעמיק במפגש ובמערכת היחסים הנוצרים בין האוכלוסיות השונות בשכונה ובחברה הישראלית בכלל. העמקה זאת נעשית דרך היכרות עם המושגים כור היתוך ורב תרבותיות והשאלה באיזו גישה המדינה צריכה לדבוק; היכרות עם תהליך הג'נטריפיקציה בשכונה וברחוב מסדה בפרט, על יתרונות התהליך ועל ההשלכות החמורות שלו; האתגרים בקליטת העלייה, השינויים של מדיניות הממשלה בנושא לאורך השנים והמצבים אליהם נקלעים עולים חדשים בעקבות כך, ובפרט אתגר לימוד השפה העברית; וכן סיפורים על קונפליקטים ודילמות יום-יומיות של תושבי השכונה. במהלך הסיור ניחשף ליוזמות קהילתיות וחברתיות בשכונה המנסות להתמודד עם המתחים ולהאיר את הפוטנציאל הגלום בגיוון התרבותי הקיים בה, ונשאל האם יוזמות אלו יכולות להתרחב לעוד מקומות והאם לבני נוער יש תפקיד בהתרחבות זו.
