The Sample session will focus on BRANDING ISRAEL
Today, especially in the United States and in Europe, young people perceive Israel in an unfavorable light. Many tend to hold Israel to a double-standard and ignore all the good that Israel provides to the world. Some of Israel’s most notable contributions include innovation in high-tech and medical fields. In recent years, pro-Israel activists have embarked on a mission to brand Israel in a more realistic and favorable image.
Knowledge Goals: Israeli innovation; Israel
