  2. A delegation of leading Latin American educators, guests of MASHAV, Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ​visited the Ramot Weizmann School to learn how Israel successfully educates for entrepreneurship from an early age.

  3. The first graders welcomed the delegation by singing and swinging Israeli flags and the flags of the countries from which the guests arrived.

  4. The guests were excited to hear the schoolgirl speaking their language - Spanish, and greeting them.

  5. The school choir sang "hallelujah."

  6. Amalia Swisa, the principal, presented the process of choosing the uniqueness of the school as an educator for multidisciplinary entrepreneurship, pedagogical meanings and methods of implementation while fostering the relationship between the partners in the process - teachers, students, parents and the community.

  7. The delegation toured the school and learned about the various disciplines taught in the school and their integration into entrepreneurship education.

  8. Students presented the learning process they had undergone, their experience and insights they had on the topics that interest them.

  9. The students came to the conclusion that learning while playing is both enjoyable and helpful, and presented the games they developed and their insights from the process.

  10. Members of the delegation heard about the enrichment programs that the school provides to its students, who contribute to the development of entrepreneurial thinking, including Taasiyeda and Biomimicry.

  11. The students told about the projects they developed following the learning in the enrichment courses and how these projects solve problems they identified.

  12. The delegation members enjoyed seeing the students presenting their projects with great confidence and in an original way.

  13. Third graders developed projects in various fields, according to their choice, and impressed the guests with their creative thinking, and in their ability to identify opportunities for inventions that meet needs.

  14. Despite the short time that the delegation had, the students insisted on presenting them all the projects they had planned, and indeed they aroused interest.

  15. The students said that as part of the 70 anniversary of the country, they chose to establish a museum named after Dr. Chaim Weizmann, after whom their school was named, and explained that the museum also serves as an escape room, enabling experiential learning about him.

  16. As in Israel, Latin America also deals with the need to solve problems and conflicts between students. The students explained their model of mediation and presented the specially assigned room for this purpose.

  17. Lia Dekel, the chairman of the Student Council, spoke about the various roles of the students in the school, as being partners in what is happening in it, and that entrepreneurship education taught her not to give up, to invent new ideas, to be creative and to explore until a solution can be presented.

  18. Guy Yarnitzky, Chairman of the Parents' Leadership, spoke of the courageous partnership between the parents and the school staff in nurturing the students and preparing them for the future by providing tools for life and values so that they will be better citizens and contribute to the improvement of society.

  19. The school's director, Amalia Swisa, and her deputy, Shoshi Bar, summed up the visit and answered the guests' questions.

  20. "Well done!" It's amazing! you've turned a project into a meaningful educational process, I recognize five different levels: sharing information, consulting and controlling, making joint decisions, transferring responsibility to students and delegating authority - all of this in the axis of clear pedagogy." At the end of the visit, the delegation member Professor Luis Oscar Diaz, technical supervisor of the Ministry of Education on schools in Argentina, shared his deep impression of the school's method of learning.

  21. The guests received a symbolic gift - a Disk On Key with the presentation presented to them in the visit, in Spanish.

  22. Finally, a picture with the delegation

  23. "The Ramot Weizmann School definitely serves as a model that demonstrates how to implement a multidisciplinary entrepreneurship, alongside a process of continuous learning by both the staff and the students, ready to try and make mistakes, to explore and improve, with the cooperation of all the parties involved". These are the reasons that led Galit Zamler, who developed the Entrepreneurship for Kids Program, to recommend MASHAV to bring the delegation to this school so that they would learn from it.
