The Yotzrim Atid program offers focused workshops based on models and practices developed through field work and the research accompanying the program. The workshops are designed for teams and organizations seeking to strengthen civic education for democracy through applied learning and the implementation of key working concepts, even without participation in the full program.
Hope-Based Education: The Professional Stance
How to educate in an unstable world and develop a space of Possibility?
A pedagogical strategy that enables educators to act educationally even in complex and unstable realities, and to design learning spaces filled with meaning, responsibility, and forward-looking vision even when the path is unclear. The workshop focuses on establishing hope as a professional stance that enables action based on choice and judgment.
Focus Areas:
Action-Based Connection: Social Pedagogy
Human encounter as the foundation for joint action.
A pedagogical-social principle that views joint action toward a tangible goal as the primary way to create connections between people and groups. The workshop deals with turning social complexity and a plurality of voices into a motor for learning and action, and examining how joint action creates trust, closeness, and partnership, even in places where discourse alone is not enough.
Focus Areas:
The Entrepreneurship Model: Educational Practices
From field research to reality-based educational action.
The Yotzrim Atid entrepreneurship model offers a framework for developing civic-educational initiatives, based on field inquiry and learning about the educational and social reality before formulating a direction for action. The model defines education as the central arena of intervention: social intervention is carried out through processes of teaching, learning, and educational action, within the professional role of educators.
