Connecting with people

You want to stay in touch with your new friends from the youth exchange? On MyGIX you can start your own group. If your experiences in Israel or Germany happened a while ago, you can find old companions again and invite them. You want to learn Hebrew, Arabic or German? Find a tandem partner!

  • Shimon Peres Special Prize 2024: 10,000 Euro for Israeli NPOs
    Deadline is April 24!
    Due to the dramatic situation in Israel since October 7, 2023, the German-Israeli Future Forum and the Federal Foreign Office have decided to award the Shimon Peres Special Prize in addition to the regular Shimon Peres Prize. It will be awarded to an initiative that has provided outstanding voluntary aid in Israel since October 7.
    Applications are open to non-profit initiatives from Israel that have helped to deal with the aftermath of October 7 in Israel. This could for example be initiatives that have supported evacuees, offered psychological or other urgently needed help to those who were affected. Both completed projects and those that are still ongoing are eligible to apply. Applying for the Shimon Peres Special Prize is easy and can be done through the application form. You may find the criteria for applications in Hebrew here.

  • Biss of Culture Goes Online
    On January 25, 2024, ConAct was a guest at the DIY² Lab of IJAB. The popular digital event series stands for "Do-It-Yourself in Digital International Youth Work". The topic this time was: "Let's Cook! Recipes for Intercultural Learning in Digital Encounters". On the one hand, this provided the opportunity to present the collection of recipes developed by the German-Israeli Youth Exchange Lab "A Biss of Culture. A Taste of German-Israeli Youth Exchange" published in 2023. At the same time, however, it was also possible to successfully test how the methodological impulses proposed in the publication between the recipes and stories can be adapted for digital practice.
    The detailed documentation of the event with methodological tips and recipe suggestions can be downloaded here [in German].
