GLOCAL at the Hebrew University
The Glocal Program for International Development at the Hebrew University is an international master's program for studying community development. The program translates academic research and theoretical knowledge into practical understanding and practices, in an approach that encourages underserved communities around the world to thrive and succeed.
The program focuses on international development from a local perspective and gives students tools and knowledge to create sustainable solutions together with local communities. The program includes four months of practical internship in organisations that assist disadvantaged communities in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia, as well as in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The program enables specialisation tracks in gender and migration as well as a research track. Graduates of the program work in a variety of organisations and companies in the field of community development and international development in Israel and around the world.
The Anatha Foundation has supported the Glocal program since 2014, through scholarships for African students, scholarships to support internships in organisations in Africa and research relating to the continent, as well as the overall activities of the program.
