“Throughout our 40 years of activity, we have witnessed that the arts are not merely a field of study, but a way of life that empowers our students and equips them with the tools to face the challenges of reality. Especially in times of uncertainty, arts education enables students to express themselves, develop critical thinking, and contribute to society. This conference is an opportunity to emphasize the importance of the arts in education and to strengthen their place within the Israeli educational system.”
