Many organizations working in the field of the Shared Society and operating joint programs for Jews and Arabs have had to dramatically change their activities since the war began. Organizations in the field of sports have different and unique challenges and possibilities in this context.

Due to this situation, The Azrieli Foundation’s SSI program hosted a discussion for organizations involved in the field of sports. The meeting included the presentation of the activities of the various organizations during this period, the challenges they face and the feelings of the participants and the staff.

A special emphasis was put on the presentation of relevant studies that have been conducted on this topic since the war began and reflected the mood in Arab and Jewish societies. For example, the sharp increase in mutual fear of the “other” group. These trends are of great importance in the planning and management of the joint programs.

Along with the challenges, the participants and the SSI team also presented possible solutions and ways to deal with the difficulties. During the meeting it was agreed that this forum, which combined sports organizations active in the field of Shared Society, will continue to operate regularly and will receive support, as much as possible, from SSI.
