สมัครได้เงินฟรีHeart to Heart was founded in 2011 as a partnership between Camp Shomria and the Givat Haviva Education Foundation in Israel. The Heart to Heart program brings a group of twenty Israeli teenagers to Camp Shomria every summer for two and a half weeks. Half of the participants identify as Palestinian citizens of Israel, and half as Jewish citizens of Israel. Daily activities include team-building workshops, camping trips, and facilitated dialogue about the narratives, politics, and power dynamics that participants face in their daily lives at home. The group also visits Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and spends four days living with Canadian host families while touring Toronto. The group's presence at camp has become a meaningful and central addition to the experience of all of Camp Shomria's Canadian campers. The ability to witness shared society building and be in the presence of teens from Israel contributes to important discussions and conversations that our campers engage in while at camp and builds lasting friendships and connections between the Camp Shomria campers and the Heart to Heart participants.
