​

The Project focuses on supporting and supervising all professional staffs and/or activists in the mixed neighborhoods in Haifa, (mixed=Arabs and Jews). Mainly social workers, but also all professionals and activists who work directly with families and residents of the neighborhoods, this is due to the difficult political events that occurred in May and shooked the trust among residents of the same neighborhoods.

 

Objectives of the project:

• Creating a significant improvement to the safety and security of professionals and activists who were exposed to the political violence in May.

• Creating a significant improvement to the resilience of the professionals whose job, previous to the recent events, is to protect women victims of violence and women at risk in these neighborhoods of Haifa.

• Creating an open dialogue between Arabs and Jewish professionals in these neighborhoods and increasing the sense of mutual trust in order for them to be resistant to difficult events if they recure in the future.

 

The project is taking place in the mixed neighborhoods such as: Allenbi, Hadar, German Colony and Wadi Aljmal. (Ein Hayam) and Halisa in Haifa.

 

The project is funded by the "Ruth& Edward Snatager" foundation.
