SHADES is a new and ambitious program that aims to give students an opportunity to explore their own identity, learn about diversity and paint the world in various colors. The program uses the state of Israel and its complexity as a case study and educational tool in order to expose students to various insights regarding their own lives and reality.

The program includes interactive sessions, experiential activities, and the personal stories of various speakers to challenge students’ current views and thought-patterns regarding different issues in contemporary society and their own life experiences.
