ACT2gether was created to gather, strengthen, and give visibility to children and adults that work in competent partnerships so as to become agents of their own holistic well-being and social change. It offers an innovative approach to implementing children’s participation, bringing a well-being lens to rights-based approaches, by acknowledging each child’s uniqueness, the importance of intergenerational relationships, and by creating a space where the participants are able to practise their core capacities in a more refined way, helping them partner and weave personal and social change.

We are committed to manifesting a world where each one of us can participate fully, in a holistic and systemic way, to discover and enrich our unique qualities and experience our common humanity, on the individual and collective level. We do this by cultivating core capacities in individuals and collective systems. Developing these core capacities provides a solid basis for all life activities, including learning, creativity and inner resourcing. Practices that support the core capacities help children and adults understand how they frame their thinking, experience feelings, engage in imagining, discover motivations, and so forth. In a classroom or other group environment, these core capacities support the development of key competences and skills for lifelong learning. In the broadest sense, together and separately, they can be termed a key competence for living, communicating and functioning in society.

Joint Action

IEA works to promote genuine coexistence and sustainable peace, through joint community building on the grassroots level, using interactive interfaith dialogue as its vehicle. The apolitical and all-inclusive approach of the organization and its activities enable the successful participation of a very wide range of participants and thus to continuously build a true grassroots movement which constitutes the human infrastructure for peace in the Holy Land. In its twenty-two years of existence, the IEA has held more than 4,900 programs, with many thousands of participants (estimated in more than 20,000). A most significant fact is that the participants in IEA programs include people of all political and religious views, as well as all ages, genders, walks of life etc; and that the vast majority of them have met 'the other' for the first time through IEA. As of this date the IEA has founded 126 ongoing community-groups of interfaith encounter – from the Upper Galilee to Eilat, including 39 groups that bring together on a regular basis Israelis and West Bank Palestinians.
