PARTNERSHIP 2000: OUR PARTNERSHIP REGION

The Partnership twins six Coast-to-Coast Canadian communities – Atlantic Canada, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Winnipeg – with five Galilee Panhandle (Etzba HaGalil) development towns and councils – Galil Elyon, Kiryat Shmona, Metulla, Mevo’ot HaHermon, and Yessod HaMa’ala.

Aimed at strengthening the relationship between communities in both countries, as well as improving the living standards of Etzba HaGalil residents, P2K has advanced myriad capital projects and the following three major educational initiatives:

  • Gesher Chai (Living Bridge) – focusing on informal educational initiatives for elementary through high school-aged children, these programs promote global Jewish identity and unity
  • BeYachad – meaning “together,” BeYachad is focused on advancing education standards in order to enhance the region’s social fabric, attract young families and boost population retention
  • Priority Programming – ranging from informal education to young leadership, these high-impact youth and young adult programs aim to further develop the region
