Israel’s Negev desert region is home to approximately 650,000 people, 215,000 of whom are Bedouin Palestinian/Arab. As the region’s population grows and programs are implemented for its social and economic development, many leaders are working to ensure this development includes stronger Jewish-Arab relations and closing gaps between Bedouin, the poorest of Israel’s population groups, and Jewish citizens.
Join us to hear from Ariel Dloomy, Co-Executive Director of AJEEC-NISPED, the largest NGO serving Bedouin society, and Wafa Eben-Beri, Director of the organization’s Bedouin Volunteer Tent, to learn about regional initiatives that are bridging social and economic opportunities in the region with efforts to forge a more shared society among Bedouin and Jewish communities.
