Program Description
Let's Meet Through Art MITVEH is a cross-cultural art and museum program in its 6th year that brings together a mixed group of Jewish and Bedouin children and educators from neighboring communities in the Northen Negev. Creating and observing art together forms a bridge of respect and understanding between the students, as they use the universal languages of art & creativity to learn about each other's culture and heritage, make connections, and build positive relationships. The yearlong program offers half & whole day art workshops at museums representing both cultures, both in their communities and natural setting. A festive exhibition and ceremony bring the families together. An educational model, tools & resources, documentation, and assessment accompany the program, developed by MITVEH.
