Meppa APS: photo israel to award a new FAA grant for the photo salam activity

The proposed activity aims to promote a broader coexistence by changing public awareness and behavior on subjects relating to diversity and shared society. The activity will provide arab and jewish residents, young adults, and youth, with a collaborative platform, photography skills, the ability to make their voices heard in a strong and coherent manner, and the opportunity to share their daily reality and worldview on a grand scale. Their work will be displayed through various platforms open to the public, including outdoor local exhibits and the international photography festival in TEL aviv, an annual event that garners over 50,000 participants from israel and abroad each year. Throughout the program, participants will benefit from mixed identity photography workshops in which arab and jewish israeli participants work together and gain each other's trust around common topics of interest. The photo is: voice methodology is expected to be an effective tool through which to reintroduce arab and jewish stakeholders' confidence in coexistence principles and foster unity in communities.
