What is Betzavta?
Betzavta is a Hebrew word and means "together". The title of this method of learning democracy, which was developed by the Adam Institute in Israel, makes up the programme and philosophical background at the same time. Betzavta questions the traditional and unsatisfactory paths of conventional conflict resolution with surprising seminar units and presents in its place the concept of creative conflict resolution. With the help of a special conflict dilemma method, it achieves the essential conditions for tolerant social interaction: the willingness to mutually recognize the right to personal freedom. On this basis, the four steps of democratic decision-making provide the conflicting parties with a valuable tool for dealing with conflicts in a novel way. The International adaptation of the programme began in 1996, initially in Germany at the Centre for Applied Political Research (Centrum für angewandte Politikforschung) at the University of Munich, then subsequently through the Adam Institute cooperating with international partners in Northern Ireland, Switzerland and South-East Europe. Today, Betzavta is an internationally renowned democracy education programme used in schools and non-school educational institutions.
Project overview:
During the two training courses 15 multipliers (NGO staff, teachers, volunteers…) who work in the field of international youth work from Germany, Poland, Romania, Turkey and Denmark are getting familiar with the Betzavta method. In is mandatory to take part in both courses. In the basic training course (I) the participants take part in activities and get to know the unique Betzavta method. During the advanced training (II) in October 2012, the participants take part in new Betzavta activities and they focus on the use of Betzavta in their own working context. The international composition of the training fosters the development of intercultural cooperation on the European level. In addition, the trainings offer the multipliers a platform for exchange of ideas on their understanding of democracy.
