School Twinning

The Global School Twinning Network is an initiative of The Jewish Agency in cooperation with the Ministries of Education and Diaspora Affairs in Israel. Twinning programs promote the sense of Jewish Peoplehood and shared responsibility – for students in schools around the world and Israel schools alike. Students have the chance to meet each other for dynamic conversations around issues such as Jewish Identity and Social Responsibility. Twinning programs, likewise, link educators for professional and personal enrichment. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of hundreds of educators, Global School Twinning has evolved as Partnership2Gether’s flagship program. The program’s success stems from its ability to engage the school community as a whole (students, educators, parents) in promoting Jewish Peoplehood, catalyzing development of new educational programs and pedagogic methods along the way. The grassroots School Twinning program has evolved into several models of operation, with all focusing on Jewish values, Jewish identity, culture and heritage.
