The educational program

The world around us is undergoing an accelerated process of deepening the economic, cultural, political, and environmental ties between the various countries, and in short, a process of globalization. Globalization touches all areas of our lives and creates a complex multicultural reality that requires a broad perspective, adapted skills, and tools. Although we live in a time of unprecedented technological development, welfare, and abundance, this is an era of ever-deepening disparities. For example, over a billion people around the world do not have safe access to clean water, and about 3 billion people, including hundreds of millions of children, experience lack of quality nutrition that does not allow them to reach the full potential of their physical and emotional development. The global challenges are great and numerous and do not only concern residents of developing countries. The climate crisis, immigration issues, and global epidemics all require local and global solutions at the same time, and, in order to reach solutions—access to knowledge, global awareness, empathy, and critical and multidimensional thinking must be developed in both adults and children.
