P&PL visit to Younited School

On October 21st, our laboratory team from the Technion Faculty of Education in Science and Technology embarked on an insightful visit to Givat Haviva Education Center and Younited School. The delegation engaged in meaningful discussions with the school’s head, Yuval Dvir, the Givat Haviva executive director, Michal Sella, teachers, mentors, and students, gaining a deep understanding of an innovative educational approach that prioritizes community integration and cross-cultural learning.
The visit was particularly significant as we explored an unusual format of an Israeli IB public boarding school dedicated to bringing together diverse community groups and building the Israeli Arab-Jewish shared society. A personal academic connection added depth to our experience: Dr. Yuval Dvir completed their PhD under the supervision of our lab’s head, Prof. Miri Yemini. This encounter provided our team with valuable insights into alternative educational frameworks and the transformative potential of integrative learning models.
