We share everyday the two society issues; we eat together Arab and Jews foods, celebrating Arab and Jews event’s days and visit our homes.
We understand that the politics make our life hard here in Israel/Palestine, politics people want us to hate each other and to kill each other, and because of that we try to live together in a small place that have a lot of love, understanding and the most important we accept the others that different of us.

The Jewish-Israeli partner-school for peacecamp 2013: Zvulun Carmel

http://carmelz.org/
Carmel Zvulun Regional High School is beautifully situated against the ever-green Carmel Mountains, near Haifa, and consists of approximately 890 students, aged 12-18, who come from Kibbutzim ,small communal settlements and small towns in the area.
Our aims are to motivate our students to excel academically and to help them develop a high degree of social awareness. Our students attend various lectures, seminars and social activities relating to tolerance and acceptance of people who are perceived to be different. Perfect examples are "Reaching Out", a series of meetings between 8th graders from Arab schools in our area and our 8th graders, and the Bridging Seminar, during which 11th graders from our secular school spend a long weekend with students from a religious boarding school.
In addition, a number of hearing impaired students, coming from more distant places, is integrated on each grade level. Together with our hearing students, they participate in ceremonies, activities and school trips and have become an inseparable part of our surroundings.
