EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT

Investing in our future

UIA acknowledges the importance of educating the community and school-aged children about the organisation's important work.

Educational and Hasbara activities introduced in Perth ensures the involvement and commitment to Israel, UIA, Keren Hayesod and the Jewish world.

Learning about UIA also introduces children to the concepts of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and Tzedaka (social justice) - crucial Jewish values underpinning Jewish continuity and ensuring future giving, as students approach adulthood.

For several years, UIA has sponsored 2 special educational programs:

• Shorashim - Carmel School Year 10 Tour to Israel: During the tour, students visit an absorption centre and participate in activities while at the Project.

• LIMMUD - OZ: Limmud is a full-day educational conference that exists world-wide and based on the values of learning, expanding Jewish and Zionist horizons; and enabling connections, respect, diversity and community involvement.
