PIP's Projects | · PIP is currently training its
first cadre of leaders in a project linking Jewish teens in the Bay Area with
teens in Israel. They will engage in parallel skill training, dialogue, and collaboration
on service projects (following the AI model) and hone their skills as leaders
in youth-driven inter-group dialogue/collaboration. Once they have been through
the entire process, they will be invited to help PIP train future cohorts and
expand the work to other groups. For this project PIP is partnering with several
Israeli schools and organizations with whom ongoing people-to-people relationships
are developing. · PIP is developing a project to create a new, interactive
curriculum on Israel based around digital stories told from a diverse array of
teen voices. This digital story-based curriculum will be developed in part by
the PIP teens themselves, as one of the ongoing collaborative projects the Israeli
and Bay Area Jewish teens will begin together. Once these groups have successfully
begun work on the digital stories for the curriculum, the plan is to bring other
groups of teens into the dialogue and the collaboration and add their voices to
the stories. Besides adding other Jewish teen groups, this will also include
groups like Arab Israelis, Christians, Moslems, and others for whom Israel plays
an important role. We are partnering on the expanded portion of this project
with Givat Haviva (in Israel), the Jewish-Arab Center for Peace, which was recently
awarded the UNESCO Peace Prize. · PIP is partnering with United Religions
Initiative (a global inter-faith network) and the United Youth Leadership Council
to design inter-faith youth encounters and programs in San Francisco. These programs
can be used as models and replicated in other cities. · PIP is working
with the Diller Teen Fellows program of the Bureau of Jewish Education in San
Francisco to design the leadership development (skill-building) component of the
overall program as well as a process for personal and group evaluation. PIP is
facilitating three workshops (including two retreats) for the teens. ·
PIP has designed and run leadership development and skill-building workshops for
a number of faith-based youth groups including LAFTY in Lafayette, CA and ARTY
in Ann Arbor, MI. Continue: Who
