Charney Resolution Center

Lion Hirsch (EMIS ’25) shares how interfaith exploration goes beyond the classroom.
Through Shvilim, Israeli and Jewish youth connect worldwide — visiting mosques, an Islamic Center, and a cathedral in Oslo to see how faith can bridge divides.
Lion’s journey shows that dialogue begins with curiosity and grows through empathy.

🦚 Campus life comes with a few unexpected classmates… say hello to our resident peacocks!

Suitcases in hand, smiles on faces ✨ Last month, students from across the globe stepped into their EMIS journey. We can’t wait to see how you’re settling in and making this place your own. Here’s to new friendships, new challenges, and new opportunities for growth! 🌍💫 Feel free to tag yourself and share your experience.

From music to speeches to big energy, last week the EMIS Opening Ceremony set the stage for a year of learning, leadership, and peace-building. 💫 So thrilled to have our founder, Tzili Charney, join the celebration!

We are proud to work alongside EMIS and excited to welcome the new students!

GIGA International Conference: Working Toward Solutions

The Forum for Regional Thinking Workshop at EMIS
This June, students at the Eastern Mediterranean International School (EMIS) took part in a powerful educational day led by the Forum for Regional Thinking (FORTH) הפורום לחשיבה אזורית and supported by the Charney Resolution Center.

The workshop invited students to explore the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, reflect on the current realities in the region, and consider how even the most entrenched conflicts can move toward resolution.

With curiosity and empathy, students engaged in deep discussions, asked critical questions, and connected what they learned to issues in their own countries. The day ended with a meaningful reflection session—and a shared commitment to continue this important dialogue.

We’re proud to support educational spaces that inspire open thinking and global understanding.
