‘As the generation that will become the leaders in our two countries in the future we, as young people, can tread paths to increase our understanding of one another, in a way that no adult politician can.’ This is a statement of a participant in a German-Israeli youth exchange programme. More than 9,000 young people and students from both countries each year take part in exchange programmes, which the Family Ministry supports financially. On behalf of many interested partner organisations in Israel, the German Youth Exchange Coordination Centre ‘ConAct’ looks for youth workers and organisations in Germany who want to set up exchange projects with Israel. This year partners will be introduced to each other in a two-part seminar. The first part is from10 to15 April in Israel, the second part in Germany from 29 May to 3 June.
