The Triwizard program with Israel brought together
students from three different communities: an Israeli Arab
school, an Israeli Jewish school, and an American public
school with few Jews and even fewer Muslims. The two
Israeli groups met in Israel to find common ground and
overcome their differences through dialogue and
understanding. They communicated with the American
school via technology such as video-conferencing, Skype,
and emails. The program culminated with a visit to the
U.S. The goal of the program was to embark upon a
process that would bring about intercultural awareness and
acceptance at the subjective level, guiding all involved to
develop empathy and an insider’s view of the other’s
culture.
It was an attempt to have a group of Israeli high school
students and a group of Arab Israeli students who had a
fearful, distrustful perception of each other find common
ground and become friends.
TriWizard was designed to have participants begin a
dialogue about issues, beliefs, and emotions based on the
premise that cross-cultural training strategies that are
effective in changing knowledge are those that engage the
emotions, and actively develop empathy and an insider’s
views of another culture focused on what they have in
common. Participants learned that they could become
friends despite their cultural differences.
