Africa Awareness
We fund a number of academic programmes at Israeli universities, with a focus on encouraging exchange between Israel and Africa.
Art Academies Exchange (CoCuDi Center)
As part of its roster of creative and educational cross-cultural programmes, the CoCuiDi Center is facilitating an exchange between the Ceramics and Glass Department at Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem and the Margaret Trowell School of Industrial and Fine Arts at Makerere University in Kampala. The programme allows participants to exchange knowledge and technical expertise while introducing them to each other’s cultures in a creative and collaborative setting. Anatta is delighted to support this development of the next generation of Israeli and Ugandan artists, and the enrichment of both societies through mutual learning and an active commitment to cross-cultural respect, understanding and cooperation.
The Tamar Golan Africa Center at Ben Gurion University
Anatta supports the African Studies Program at Ben Gurion University, which offers a highly interdisciplinary curriculum open to students at the undergraduate, masters and PhD level. The programme is involved with African refugee communities in the Negev and sponsors volunteer work and development-related projects on the African continent.
GLOCAL at the Hebrew University
Anatta supports GLOCAL, an 18-month graduate programme focused on community development and empowerment. Students complete a 14-month academic course drawing on the social sciences before embarking on a four-month internship with an international organization working with local communities around the world.
Child Development for Developing Countries, University of Haifa
With the academic leadership of Prof. Avi Sagi-Schwartz, the International MA Program in Child Development for Developing Countries at the University of Haifa was established to prepare the next generation of experts and leaders who focus on basic questions regarding the nature of child development and its implications and applications for improving the well-being of children and their families in developing countries. With six cohorts over the years 2014-2020, the Program has attracted more than 1,000 applicants from 40 developing countries in Africa, Asia, Euro-Asia, and South America. The competitive selection of the best candidates has led to 128 graduates, thus far. Assessment of the "impact for good" of the Program will be circulated soon.
