Shared Society

Shared society programs work within Israel to build more equal, inclusive, and connected civic life, especially between Jewish citizens and Palestinian citizens of Israel. They create spaces where communities can learn, organize, and build relationships grounded in dignity, equality, and mutual recognition. B8 of Hope supports this work because peacebuilding is not only about relations across borders—it is also about belonging, rights, and equal civic partnership within society.
