Mission and Objectives

The Center of Learning and Dialogue of Nes Ammim (CLD) ,engages in trialogue between Jews, Christians and Muslims, both from Israel and abroad. Since the founding year, in 2001, The Center of Learning and Dialogue of Nes Ammim has been a place of learning rather than politics. It is a place where people can reflect on their own identity through meeting others. It is on the social level of everyday living together, rather than on that of power politics that the CLD tries to contribute to and learn from the co-existence between people from different backgrounds in Israel.
