Ein Gihon is a Non Governmental Organization registered in Israel. It was established in 1998 in Jerusalem by a small group of people with the purpose of fostering cultural and educational activities. Its activities are completely apolitical and opened to people from any race, social background or religion.
The Association works among professionals, university students and youngsters through a series of educational activities such as seminars, workshops, talks and summer camps. Ein Gihon is well aware of the difficult situation the country faces and of the multiple divisions among the ethnic and religious groups coexisting in Israel. Because of this, all the activities organized by Ein Gihon try to create mutual understanding spaces, under a climate of cooperation, which facilitates working together for a better future.
Ein Gihon’s mission is to help contribute to a better world through the education of people: men and women full of desires, not only of doing better things, but also of improving as human beings.
Ein Gihon believes the best way to have an impact in improving society is to help people improve personally. Special care is given to the activities with the youth such as the LBP (Leadership Building Program) that helps young people to enrich both their human and professional formation. The careful balance between these two aspects is fundamental if the goal is to educate true leaders: people who excel because of the professional skills, but who are at the same time role-models as humans.
The understanding of leadership as a service to society is of capital importance for the Association.We try to awake in the students their sense of responsibility towards others, forming leaders who will not seek to achieve power or influence, but who will be filled with the desire of serving and improving the living conditions of the society they form part of.
