- Youth and education
Ein Gihon is a Non Governmental Organization registered in Israel. It was established in 1998 in Jerusalem by a small group of people with the purpose of fostering cultural and educational activities. Its activities are completely apolitical and opened to people from any race, social background or religion.
The Association works among professionals, university students and youngsters through a series of educational activities such as seminars, workshops, talks and summer camps. Ein Gihon is well aware of the difficult situation that the country faces and of the multiple divisions among the ethnical and religious groups coexisting in Israel. Because of this, all the activities organized by Ein Gihon try to create mutual understanding spaces, under a climate of cooperation, which facilitates working together for a better future.
Ein Gihon’s mission is to help to create a better world through the education of people: men and women full of desires, not only of doing better things but also of improving as human beings.
