Founded in 1959 by the Van Leer family from the Netherlands, the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute is based on the vision of Israel as both a homeland for the Jewish people and a democratic society predicated on justice, fairness and equality for all its residents. For this reason, it was nominated the Head of the Israeli Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation.

The Institute's work is designed to enhance ethnic and cultural understanding, ameliorate social tensions, empower civil society players and promote democratic values through Mediterranean and Israeli-Palestinian cooperation.

The Foundation provides logistical and operational support to the National Network in Israel  through the Network Strategic Development Scheme (NSDS). For more information, please refer to the document “NSDS Step 4” under Resources column on the right. This document highlights the main responsibilities and services to be provided by the Network Coordinator for the members until 31 August 2011.

Under Resources you can also find other important documents for the Network, such as: Network Internal Rules, Members List and Member Survey Results 2010. 

To date, the Israeli network consists of 157 members. Most of these institutions work in the areas of education, youth, arts, democracy, human rights, gender issues, media and research.

Photography Contest - Migration and Israel (תחרות צילום - הגירה וישראל)

Mon, 17/01/2011 - 15:36 — Israel
National Network: 
Israel
תחרות צילום - הגירה וישראל

Israel is home to a diverse group of migrants including refugees from Africa, foreign workers and new immigrants from around the world. The cultural, social and political implications of migration in Israel raise a number of issues. These issues can be expressed through art in various ways and in return provide a meaningful manner in which to create awareness about migration in Israel.

The Israeli Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation is organizing a photography competition open to young artists (ages 18-35).

Contestants are requested to send up to 3 photos in JPEG format (files no larger than 5 MB) to photo.contest.migration@gmail.com along with their full name, age, contact information, and a short description (up to 150 words) on how their work reflects the issue of migration in Israel.

A panel of judges will select a number of photographs that will be exhibited as part of a conference on migration in Israel at Tel Aviv University in May 2011. Artists selected to showcase their work at the exhibition will be notified in April, 2011 and will print their photographs at their own expense. The winners will be announced and awarded at the conference

Deadline for submission: April 1, 2011

Prizes:
First place: 1,500 NIS
Second and third place: 1,000 NIS

All participants in the competition agree to the terms that appear on www.vanleer.org.il/photo in Hebrew.
This project is co-organized with the financial support of the Anna Lindh Foundation

ישראל היא בית למהגרים מארצות רבות ברחבי העולם, בהם פליטים מאפריקה, עובדים זרים ועולים חדשים. להגירה היבטים תרבותיים, חברתיים ופוליטיים רבים. היבטים אלו באים לידי ביטוי בשדה האמנות במגוון אופנים, ובאותו זמן מעניקים להגירה שלל משמעויות.

התחרות פתוחה לצלמים צעירים בני 18—35. יש לשלוח עד שלושה תצלומים לכתובת הדוא"ל photo.contest.migration@gmail.com, בצירוף שם מלא, גיל ופרטי קשר. כמו כן יש לצרף תיאור קצר (עד 150 מילים) המסביר כיצד התצלום קשור לנושא ההגירה בישראל.

על התצלומים להיות דיגיטליים, בפורמט JPEG. גודלו המרבי של כל קובץ צריך להיות 5 MB; התצלומים המוגשים חייבים להיות מקוריים; לא יתקבלו תצלומים שזכו בתחרות צילום אחרת. הצלמים המשתתפים בתערוכה יפתחו ויגדילו את התצלומים הנבחרים על גבי קאפה על חשבונם.

התצלומים הנבחרים על ידי חבר שופטים יוצגו בתערוכה במאי 2011, במקביל לקיומו של כנס בנושא ההגירה שיתקיים באוניברסיטת ת"א. במהלך הכינוס יוכרז על התצלומים הזוכים ויוענקו פרסים.

*ההשתתפות בתחרות כרוכה בהסכמה לתנאים המפורטים בכתב הוויתור שמופיע בקישור בתחתית האתר.
