  3. The goal of the project • This project aims to develop friendship, communication, respect and understanding among the different sectors and religious groups of the diversified Israeli society-through the activities of the Israeli Scouts.

  4. Circles of Co- Existence • Being a part of the worldwide Scouts movement, we believe that we can build a bridge between the different groups and gain understanding which will contribute to the quality of life ofmen and women, adult and children.

  5. HOW IT IS DONE? • The process starts at the “Wood Badge” course. • The participants- adult scout leaders from all sectors of the Israeli society are grouped in mixed groups- and spend few extensive and exhausting days in an atmosphere that promotes cooperation, understanding and communication amongall members.

  8. Circles of Co- Existence • The meeting emphasizes scout values as well as friendship and living together in harmony. • The close friendship relations created during these days serves as the base for future meetings, wider interactionand a “first bridge” among sectors.

  9. Circles of Co- Existence • Based on the contacts made earlier, a “Circle of Co- Existence” is established. • A group of 4-5 Scouts Tribes from different sectors, religions and geographical location is arranged into a specific “Circle of Co-Existence”.

  10. Circles of Co- Existence • Boys and girls, ages 15 to 18, meet for one day of activity every two or three months, each time hosted by a different community. • Led by their group leaders they go through an interesting process of knowing each other, learn about their new friends’ life, tradition, habits etc.
