Final Meeting of the 12th Progressive Economists Course

The 12th class of the “Society and Environment” program (formerly Progressive Economists), consisting of students from Hebrew University, Tel Aviv University, and Ben Gurion University, came to a festive conclusion on August 20.

In presence of the project manager of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, the students received their certificates and scholarships. Afterwards, the attendees listened together with dozens of alumni from the past twelve years, to a fascinating panel debate titled "What kind of social economy needs Israel ?" 

Finally, the students came together in working groups to discuss on two different topics: the future of Jewish-Arab shared living and elaborating a working plan for the next government. 

We at Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung wish these young leaders best of luck in the future. May they continue to use the expertise they have learnt to contribute to improving the quality of life for Israeli citizens, to create inclusive growth, to protect the environment and to reduce inequality in Israel.
