The spring holidays are here, bringing a momentum of growth and renewal. As the home of Collective Impact in Israel, we continue to drive three cross-sector initiatives that address root problems in Israeli society: the TOP15 initiative to promote excellence in science and technology education, the Initiative to reduce intimate partner violence, and the Initiative to improve the quality of life and loneliness in the aged.
 
In addition, an exciting new venture is being launched: The School of Senior Management in Local Government.
 
Also in the spirit of growth, some new additions and changes in the SHEATUFIM staff.
 
Happy Spring Holidays!

Improving quality of life in old age: From shared vision to action
The recent partner network conference was held on 04.04.2022 marking end of the planning phase and the beginning of implementation. Five courses of action formulated by the partner network: mapping existing responses in the field of “action creates meaning”, raising awareness, developing an ecosystem that supports the Age-Tech Industry, utilizing the economic potential of senior citizens in the economy, and developing applicable practices for development in later life.
About 60 representatives from the social, public, business and philanthropy sectors gathered to discuss these directions, in preparation for the convening of work groups next quarter. Read more

How do you harness the business sector to encourage excellence in STEM education? An international study recently initiated by the TOP15 Initiative mapped models for the involvement of the business sector in promoting excellence in STEM, with an emphasis on skills and middle school in France, Germany, the US and other countries. The findings of the research conducted by the ERI Institute, will help provide a creative and innovative response to the lack of the skills required for excellence in the field of science and technology. Another step on the way to raising Israel to 15th place in the PISA rankings. Read more

The School of Senior Management in Local Government is on its way!
 
The school is a joint venture of the Ministry of the Interior, the Yad Hanadiv Foundation and Sheatufim. The school was established with the guiding principle that professional human capital is the basis for the success of the local authority, and aims to become a knowledge center in the field of management and municipal service.  graduates will join a network that will continue to meet, learn and develop. This coming May courses will begin to prepare students for the positions of Municipal General Manager, City Engineer, HR Director and Director of Urban Renewal.
Growth and Renewal in the Sheatufim Team
 
With the increase in our activities, the Sheatufim Team has also expanded. Osnat Tsipper has taken on the position of VP of Sheatufim a few months ago. Osnat came from the Mifras Association, where she served as a consultant for educational entrepreneurship and accompanied processes of change and assimilation of entrepreneurial culture in educational institutions. Before that Osnat managed the field of Management and Leadership at the NGG Global Consulting Solutions. We’re happy you’ve joined us Osnat!.
 
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Liat Govrin, who has chosen to embark on a new path after a decade of fruitful and varied action at Sheatufim. During this period, Liat led significant processes and ventures, including the Sheatufim forum of social CEOs, "Hamigrash" for the Ethiopian community in Israel, supporting the eco-system of the Negev Clusters, and establishing the Studio for Collaborative Social Processes. In her most recent role, Liat served as Director of Human Resources and Professional Development.
Good luck dear Liat - we'll miss you!
