After our community service and lunch we headed off to the Peres Peace Center.
The
Israeli Innovation Center at the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation is now
open to the public. CAARI has visited
this special place over the years, but now they really have a wonderful information program
which inspires all who visit.
This beautifully, but modestly constructed building, is located in the Jaffa neighborhood, overlooking the wide
open Mediterranean Sea, which speaks volumes for the location and work of the Center.
The Peres
Center for Peace and Innovation is one of Israel's leading non-profit NGOs was
founded in 1996 by Shimon Peres. The
Center develops and implements unique
and cutting-edge programs in Innovation, Sports, Cultivation of Leadership and
Entrepreneurship, Health, Business, and Environment.
These flagship programs serve hundreds of
thousands of beneficiaries of all ages, religions, and genders, and are
implemented with a network of local, regional, and international partners.
We were
part of a group tour, lead by a well-versed guide and used a variety of
multi-media presentations to inform visitors about the work of being done in Israel. Definitely innovative!
