Netzer Olami's International Conference - 2011 א" עשת -ר" צנ לש תימלועה הדיעוה Main challenges we face • Lack of identification with Netzer's ideology- some of the participants that come on the program, have no knowledge or desire to learn or identify with the movement's ideology such as Israel, Judaism and Progressive Judaism, Zionism, etc.. There are also those who resent any of the above, such as participants that claim they are anti- religious / hate Tfilla/ don't want to learn Hebrew at all, etc. Aliyah is of course a main component no one really addresses at this point. • The program as it is now is aimed to very specific and narrow participants, and has very limited ability to expand, if it continues as is. • Price- from year to year, the budget is more complicated and realistic, and the price is higher, which makes it hard for a lot of candidates to commit to the program (The price of Shnat 2010/11 is about $17,000 per participant). • There is no permanent staff member aside from the Shnat director that spends meaningful time with the participants all along the year, making it hard to build good and meaningful relations with the participants. • The program is dynamic and changes from year to year, making it hard for the staff to have continuity, establish long term relations with cities, organizations, providers etc. • Not enough connection and exposure to Israeli society, especially during the Jerusalem part. • Once the year finishes, we have very limited connection with the shnattim. Thus far, we did not conduct surveys after Shnat finished, and have no clear view in the long run on the affects Shnat has on the participants. • Clear differences in what the southern hemisphere snifim hope to achieve from the program (concentrate on building practical leadership skills and improving Hebrew) as opposed to the northern snifim (providing more options, value clarification and general Jewish education). Veida proposals and resolutions regarding Shnat in the last two Veidot The snifim are full partners with the Shnat Netzer tzevet, and are involved in decision making before and during the year. Nonetheless, the Veida is a good opportunity to discuss things on a macro level. • In Veida 2009 we discussed and agreed on the Shnat Mission statement presented above. This is the first time we have a worded mission statement for the program, agreed by all the snifim. • In Veida 2010 we discussed and agreed on the Shnat Netzer screening process which should take place in all the snifim. Thus far we started implementing it, but it is early to say how efficient it is, as the first group that went through the process has not yet arrived to Israel. • In Veida 2010 we discussed new directions, structure and education for Shnat Netzer, in order to create a program which has more added value for the participants, and is cost- affective. There was no decision reached at Veida, aside from hoping to inquire more about the different possibilities. Written by Lior Argaman, Shnat Netzer's director, September 2010 46
