Twenty-sixth International Conference on Learning

Abstract

Social activism is a project that is main aims are based on collaborative learning as part of a national and international initiative. The goal of the social activism project is to connect and bond different populations in a multi-cultural society that contains many identities. The meetings between the students create discussions around current issues and infrastructure for a civic and egalitarian society of students. The topic of social activism is taught in many countries around the world (Alony, 2005) and contributes to the development of students’ self-esteem and identity in areas such as human rights and responsibility. The main goal of the program is the development of significant competence among the educational staff and students. Both students and teachers collaborate to create social initiatives that reflect personal and civic responsibility, respect, and fairness in the school-community relationship.
