Collaboration

EMIS and CRC share a common mission and believe in the same values of peace and dialogue. This is why over the past years we have collaborated on several projects involving EMIS students.

Peace Simulations

The peace simulations hosted annually by the Charney Resolution Center is an initiative taken to help introduce the EMIS students to the Palestinian Israeli conflict and give them an insight to all of its complexities. Moreover, it also gives them a chance to be a part of a delegation that will negotiate and brainstorm together different ways the conflict can be solved through tools and a format of negotiation.

Ambassadorship

We strive to serve as a platform fro partnerships with young ambassadors from around the world who have or wish to initiate projects in fields that are related to the mission of the center such as: open communication, peace making processes, exposing voices of minorities and such.

Art Projects

In January of 2020, twenty EMIS Visual Arts students set out on their last art trip for the year accompanied by their teacher Shlomit Kanfi to Umm Al-Fahem Art Museum. They learned that this museum was one of a kind, and the core of existence lies beneath the fact that there is a lack of art galleries within the Arab community. The students got a tour of the museum, the chance to meet one of the artists that had her art displayed, and lastly they got to get crafty in a clay modeling and a monoprint workshop.

In March 2019, The EMIS Visual Arts team went on a day tour of the art village of Ein Hod, learning from the various artists that live there and exploring different techniques of art such as dada, ink, paint printing and ways of expressing thoughts of peace through art.

Israeli- Palestinian Musical Jam Session

CRC organized a musical event hosted by OzenBar in Tel Aviv that consisted of shows by a Palestinian band and an Israeli- Arab band from Jerusalem, and finally a joint jam ensemble open to the public. People from both sides of the region and the conflict shared a mutual passion- their love for music and expression.

CRC Beach Cleaning Day

In April, 2019 EMIS volunteers became spies for sustainability as well as spies of peace as they spent their Friday cleaning up Beit Yanai beach in Israel. All in all there were about 35 volunteers.
