Regeneration is an interfaith non-profit seeding the Middle East with an educational philosophy that embraces life, learning, the arts, the earth and all the children.
Their two main programs are:
1. Paths to Peace: Members build bridges between Jewish and Arab children while supporting the holistic education of the whole child, the head, hand, and heart. They co-sponsor Jewish – Arab Paired Waldorf Classes which includes the first Arab Waldorf School in Israel and they also co-sponsor the first integrated Jewish Arab Bicultural/Bilingual Waldorf kindergarten.
2. Kindergarten Teacher Training: Through support from the Regeneration Foundation, Palestinian kindergarten teachers from the West Bank area of Jenin are receiving Waldorf Teacher training at the Harduf Arabic Teacher Training Program in the Galilee. The Waldorf educational method is used in classrooms around the world from London to Nepal and from Los Angeles to Tel-Aviv. These teachers learn how to create a warm and nurturing classroom and how through stories and other activities they can model respect for all human beings.
