Developing New Communities
Planned Activies 2006
The following are Mosaic Communities planned activities in 2006 towards the development of new communities include:
Planned Activities for 2006 to support Mosaic Communities Search for Land:
- Initiating contact with the national kibbutz association offering to develop a new Mosaic Community in one of the recently abandoned kibbutzim.
- Formal Requests to government ministries and/or agencies for specific plots already located by Mosaic Communities in the South, Center and North of the countries.
- Dialogue with government ministries and/or agencies to promote them to endorse the idea of developing joint communities for Arab and Jewish residents as a new model of settlement.
- Continue in the search for land (including privately owned land) that could be used for developing new communities.
- Creation of a special committee that includes architects, urban planners, building developers and others to support the above activities.
PlannedActivities for 2006 to support the Consolidation of Conceptual Guidelines for Mosaic Communities:
- Conceptual Exploration Workshop Series for a range of professionals including urban planners, architects, educational experts and so forth.
- Integrative Communities National Survey - A survey of Jewish and Arab populations regarding their willingness to live with one another in a common civic environment; the needs and requirements of each of these populations in relation to housing, public spaces, community services and so forth. This survey will be used as a basis to further develop conceptual guidelines for Mosaic Communities as well as a public relations tool in promoting the idea of integrative Communities.
- An end of year Conceptual Guidelines conference to present the results of the national survey and workshop series and offer the general public a more complete vision of an inegrative community.
