In the long term, this aim is realized chiefly through the following programs: project funding, the German-Israeli Future Network, the Sylke Tempel Fellowship and the Shimon Peres Prize.
[1] The Foundation aims to promote contact between young people from Israel and Germany, and to support them in working together to forge a shared future based on democracy, freedom and tolerance as core values.
The 12 members of the Board of Trustees are highly respected individuals from the fields of academia, the media, culture, business and politics.
As well as events, online talks, participation in expert discussions, public relations work, etc., the Foundation's main areas of activity are project funding, the German-Israeli Future Network, the Sylke Tempel Fellowship and the presentation of the Shimon Peres Prize.
Here, young activists, committed individuals and managers have the opportunity to find low-threshold partners for German-Israeli cooperative partnerships through volunteer “matchmakers” from the Network.
[11] The Fellowship program is implemented with cooperation partners who were associated with Sylke Tempel and whose work is aligned with the key focal areas of the year in question.
Here, the DIZF Foundation is cooperating with the American Jewish Committee, the European Leadership Network, the “Internationale Politik” magazine and Women in International Security.
This cohort was a collaboration between the DIZF Foundation and the American Jewish Committee Berlin (AJC), Bar-Ilan University, the European Leadership Network (ELNET), and Women in International Security Germany e.V.
It is conducted in cooperation with the American Jewish Committee Berlin (AJC), Bar-Ilan University, Women in International Security Germany e.V.
The Special Prize will honour exceptional achievements and the commitment of Israeli civil society in dealing with the impact of October 7, 2023.
In June 2022, the project "Building Bridges for the Future" was launched, which was initiated in cooperation with the Central Association of German Crafts (ZVDH) and the Leo Baeck Institute Jerusalem (LBI).
