Description
The ORT Ronson School in Isfiya partnered with the UofH Youth Promoting Excellence program for 63 Druze 9th-grade students. The program aimed to expose students to academia, enhance their general knowledge, improve public speaking skills, and promote sustainability awareness. The program concluded with a parent-student-staff meeting featuring a lecture on interpersonal listening by Prof. Guy Itzchakov. Students had the opportunity to showcase their position papers using debate skills acquired during the program.
