Artsbridge Gears up for Summer 2011

Posted under: Other .

Artsbridge Institute is excited to announce two changes for the 2011 summer programs.  First, we will be having our first Artsbridge Alumni Advanced Program this July, in Israel/Palestine.  All Artsbridge alumni are invited to participate. This will be an opportunity for alumni from all three years to come together, share ideas, learn advanced skills and engage in opportunities to create constructive change in their communities and beyond. For more information please contact Debbie Nathan at deb@artsbridgeinstitute.org

Secondly,  students selected for the 2011/2012 academic year will be beginning their Artsbridge experience with a 4 day orientation in Israel/Palestine. Then, during the academic year they will be working in groups in their home communities - meeting regularly, engaging in an artistic process and preparing for the following summer when they will spend an intense three weeks in the USA.  We believe that this process will allow the students to gain knowledge and skills about themselves and their communities, begin to learn how to engage in constructive dialogue, and be better prepared for the experience in the USA. This will also work to strengthen our relationships with our partner organizations in Israel and Palestine. Three times during the academic year students from all of the partner organizations will come together to meet each other and work together, while the facilitators from each organization will receive training from our Artsbridge trainers.

We look forward to keeping you updated on these exciting changes.  We hope that you will continue your support, allowing us to provide rich opportunities for young Israeli and Palestinian youth to create a more constructive, positive future.
