Bridging Gaps with Technology

In a couple of days (Wednesday, April 22, at 20:00 to be exact) we'll be holding a webinar devoted to the question:
How can the internet be used to bridge gaps between populations?
Israel is a society where question of multi-culturalism are critical, but that's no doubt true of many other countries, so we're hopeful that others will be able to learn from our experience - and to contribute from their own.

In that webinar the three leaders of the Center for Technology and Multi-Culturalism, Dr. Miri Shonfeld, Dr. Elain Hotter and Aasma Ganayim will discuss (in English) their experience with courses and seminars that the center facilitates.

From the Center's web site:
Teacher education colleges train the future teacher population for technology-based environments, for change and for a pluralistic society emphasizing the cultural uniqueness of each community. Inter-cultural dialogue is essential for knowledge and mutual respect as well as for a better enlightened human future.
For a glimpse into the work of the Center, we'll offer here a short video:
