Mission and Objectives

MITVEH is a new not-for-profit organization established in Jerusalem for the purpose of providing a professional platform for promoting all the arts in education in Israel.
Mitveh, meaning "A Guideline for an Idea" in Hebrew, is dedicated to advancing creative and effective teaching and learning processes in all art forms, and in a wide range of educational contexts and issues.
MITVEH is developing a comprehensive center for educational work in the arts addressing the needs of professionals, educators, artists and education institutions, offering resources and guidance, a dynamic platform for exchange of knowledge, performances and exhibitions, thus helping to meet the challenges of Israel's diverse society in the 21st century.
A primary goal is to promote the arts in education among diverse populations and various cultural and ethnic groups, and in particular among those who have special needs or have limited exposure to art, or limited resources for integrating art in their educational efforts.

Main Projects / Activities

MITVEH strives to harness artistic and creative processes to meet educational and social goals sought by teachers, artists and education institutions by:
• Providing Knowledge and Resources through an interactive website, a newsletter and professional publications.
• A Dynamic Platform for Professional Exchange, Development and Exhibition that will offer discussion groups, professional workshops and conferences, exhibitions and performances of educational work in the arts.
• Meeting Educational Challenges by developing programs in the arts to meet a wide range of educational goals and issues, and initiating outreach projects to meet needs of specific communities.
• Advocacy for the promotion of the arts in Israeli education will take place among policy makers.
