Lectures and webinars
We host open lectures and webinars on current social and political developments in Israel and the broader region, with a strong focus on education as a tool for the integration of Russian-speaking immigrants into civic life. These events create a trusted space for dialogue between experts, journalists, policymakers, and civil society making complex issues accessible to diverse audiences.
Over 600 participants have joined these conversations. Through this series, we strengthen informed public discourse and build bridges across communities — one discussion at a time.
