During the internship component of the Glocal program, I interned with Sidreh Lakiya. Learning about the organization’s social business, Bedouin culture, and the struggles that Bedouin women go through in Israel, also allowed me to learn a lot and to contribute to the mission of Sidreh.

For my internship, I joined Community Empowerment for Rural Development (CEFORD) in Arua, West Nile Region, northern Uganda. I also teamed up with a Ugandan Artist and a South Sudanese refugee; together, we published a children’s storybook called Asiteza (Take Heart), which aims to promote peaceful coexistence between refugees and host communities in the West Nile. This project was made possible through the GLOCAL Internship grant.

Following my work on Intractable, a podcast investigating the Israel-Palestine Conflict through audio storytelling, I was drawn towards GLOCAL, as a means of exploring further the intersections of conflict, peace-building, economic development, and migration. For my GLOCAL internship, Skyler worked at Mesila, a south Tel Aviv-based organization working with families from the city’s asylum-seeking and migrant worker communities.

India

With the understanding of cultural similarities between Nepal and India, I chose to pursue my internship with Restless Development in Nepal, an INGO that aims to bring young people to the decision-making table across areas of civic participation, livelihood, and sexual and reproductive health. I contributed to the curriculum design and implementation of a project called Zero Tolerance and created a procedure to sensitively handle cases of violence.

The experience I gained throughout my internship in Ecuador with both refugees and women’s empowerment, together with the academic knowledge that I gained in Glocal, has widened my horizons and provided me with practical and theoretical skills to share with the world.

Orly Heiblum Lulka

Mexico

During my internship, I learned a lot about the African asylum-seeking community in Israel, and migration more generally, through different angles, allowing me to develop a broader understanding of this complex issue. One of the main lessons I take from GLOCAL is that whatever cause or population we choose to work with, we need to educate ourselves in every aspect related to it.

Lihi Luzon-Beranen

Israel

During the internship component of the Glocal program, I interned with Kuchinate - an arts-based economic and psychosocial collective for African asylum-seeking women. I learned that the NGO world is often in survival mode, and thus has difficulties in planning its long-term goals. One can often find the key solution for the different problems that come up within the community, as they hold a diversity of skills, human wealth, and useful knowledge.

Israel

I chose to intern in Kav LaOved (KLO) in Tel Aviv. My internship in KLO and my studies at Glocal have brought me to understand the importance of community resilience, and what can be done to preserve and develop it. Glocal has broadened my horizons, supporting my creativity and making me able to design special projects, for the organization and for the asylum-seeking community both of whom are now facing an impossible reality.
