Polish students in Israel
A successive group of Polish students began scholarship studies at Tel Aviv University in Israel. It is a part of this year's exchange within the framework of the Polish Intercultural Youth Encounters program.
Exchanges between Polish and Israeli students, present for years in the landscape of the Museum’s educational activities, are very popular. They enable students to acquire knowledge of and get to understand contemporary Poland and Israel, and experience a fantastic adventure in a group of open-minded and intelligent people. Ten Polish students have just started three busy months at Tel Aviv University. In addition to attending classes and a Hebrew course, they will participate in the Polish Roots in Israel project. Their task will be to find and interview people whose families have come from Poland. Students are also facing a rich cultural and social program. During meetings organized at the university on the occasion of Polish months, Polish guest students will make presentations about history, art and everyday life of our country, and – thanks to the assistance of the Polish Institute in Tel Aviv – will meet with the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors from the Association of Third Generation.
Polish students will also explore and learn about the daily lives of Israelis. Some will be staying with Israeli families, others in student residences. They will be introduced to the ins and outs of student life by Israeli students whom they have met last September during their study visit to Poland.
The PIYE program or the Polish Intercultural Youth Encounters program (formerly Polish-Israeli Youth Encounters program) was established in 2006 as the Museum of the History of Polish Jews first educational activity. Currently it is the largest program in Poland and Israel offering meetings and exchanges between young Israelis and Poles. The program exists thanks to the support of the Museum’s Prominent Benefactors Tomek Ulatowski and Ygal Ozechov, and the help of other donors and partners, among them the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
