My name is Yarden Agrari and have been a teacher for 31 years. Out of those I have been in Carmel Zvulun Hight School for 24 years. I teach English, History and Judaic Studies which is a very interesting mix of subjects and have been the English Coordinator in our school for the past nine years.
I was born in the US and immigrated to Israel with my family at the age of 15 in 1974. I studied in a youth village and I was a kibbutznik in the north of Israel for many years until I left for Haifa where I live presently.
In the Nineties our school was part of the educational program of IPCRI promoting understanding and problem solving between Israelis and Palestinians of which I was very active. This year I initiated a joint Jewish - Arab debate team in the 7th grade between our school and the neighboring school in Ibtin. (They have met twice so it is still taking baby steps!).
This is my first time participating in PeaceCamp and I am very excited about this opportunity.
