Historically, most people didn’t have much awareness of what was happening in other countries beyond what they read or heard in the media. Of course there is more to a country than what we learn from secondhand sources, but until recently, there have been few ways to access this information.
Vibe Israel (@vibeisrael), founded by Joanna Landau, is an a-political nonprofit organization based in Tel Aviv, has a plan to change that. They want the world to know there’s more to Israel than news related to the conflict in the Middle East. Their strategy is to use social media to share what Israel has to offer. They do this by inviting five influencers in specified areas (i.e. art, wellness, fashion, social entrepreneurship, sustainability) to visit the country and share what they learn with their followers. This enables citizens, with no political or corporate agenda, who have various areas of expertise, to tell stories to their followers.
I’m excited to have been selected as one of five, global education influencers to visit Israel this December and share what the country has to offer in the area of “education.”
What should I focus on when I’m there to bring back to those in my learning network?
Here are some questions I’m interested in exploring:
