Simulation of the Knesset at ORT

On October 22nd, the simulation of the Knesset was carried out at ORT Technical School, Belgrano campus. 160 students from 5th year discussed present Israeli issues of the Parliament of the State of Israel. Some of the issues were concerned with: the Arab-Israeli Conflict (considering the Defense Wall), the present and future situation of the Kibutzim (from the perspective of Agriculture vs. Urbanization), and finally, they analyzed to what extent national symbols represent the whole Israeli population. This is the first time worldwide that a school adopts this educational tool to transmit the ways in which the Israeli Parliament works. For further information: http://www.diun.org.ar/
