EUROPE-ISRAEL NETWORK is an Israeli non-profit dedicated to strengthening civil society engagement between Israel and Europe. Recognizing the untapped potential inherent in these relations, which suffer from mutual misperceptions, it leverages mutual interests and promotes shared values of justice, the pursuit of equality, and the protection of individual freedoms.
EUROPE-ISRAEL NETWORK is committed to cultivating interpersonal relationships and overcoming challenges currently threatening core democratic values. The connection between people prevails over any political disputes. We expose and cultivate hidden potential for civic cooperation, bridging gaps in understanding and common misperceptions among individuals, institutions, and nations; acknowledging that the European-Israeli partnership contributes to the wellbeing of people on all sides, and thereby fortifying the resilience of societies.
EUROPE-ISRAEL NETWORK promotes education and action to:
– Create platforms for action-oriented civic engagement between Israel and Europe, transcending obstacles such as language, culture and prejudice.
– Harness civil society to create frameworks incorporating civic leadership.
– Leverage partnerships for the service and wellbeing of the entire society.
Vision:
Establishing close and strategic ties between Israel and Europe, with the understanding that cooperation between citizens contributes to the social and physical resilience of societies and individuals on both sides.
Few frameworks today allow young people to learn about and get to know each other, directly and impartially, in a way that was common in the past, through youth movements, student exchange, and formal and informal education. Europe-Israel Network promotes activities with academic institutions, high schools, government agencies, grant providers, and other civil society entities.
The seeds for the future lie in education. Therefore, we promote formal and informal collaboration, in order to expand and deepen dialogue and relationships. Our action emphasizes connecting generations of current leaders to future leaders, sharing heritage and culture, and developing joint opportunities.

Leaders are first and foremost human beings. Informal acquaintance and direct and impartial professional and social connections between Israeli and European leaders, enable creating a positive atmosphere, paving the way to mutually beneficial policymaking- taking the needs and limitations of the other into account, policies free of geographical and perceptual boundaries imposed by fear.
Deepening and expanding the circles of partnership between leaders and mutual learning from successful models for good governance – in civil society, in the business world and across the political spectrum – is a national task. Strengthening mutual knowledge and authentic acquaintance with the other, combined with sincere dialogue about common as well as conflicting interests, will reduce hostility and allow for cooperation and rapprochement.
With professional experience in non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, and government ministries, working in communications, she is committed to social action on behalf of human rights, the status of women, and social justice.
