AMAL teaches Spoken Arabic to non-Arabic speaking elementary school children in Israel. We do so by training university students from the Arab society to become Arabic teachers and make their culture and language accessible to children who have never encountered it in a meaningful way beforehand.
Vision
Our vision is a more tolerant and open minded Israeli society, in which Jews that don’t speak Arabic are the exception, not the rule. We see ourselves as citizens of a modern liberal society, in which Arabic and Hebrew, as well as Arabs and Jews, live side by side in peace and common respect.
