The roots of Innovation

 

The Jewish Agency’s Twinning schools network, and board of education, the Ministry of Diaspora affairs and The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem teamed together to create a contemporary educational, experiential and meaningful program designed for 5th-9th grade students from schools in Israel and abroad.

“Start up Bible Nations” allows for a joint exploration of life in Israel and abroad, developing identities and learning about modern entrepreneurship in light of our shared roots in the past. The program allows for pedagogic adaptability and is based on digital and cooperative learning while encouraging curiosity and teamwork among the students in the class and the students from the twin class.
