It is already the second edition of the "Alternative Travel to Poland and Lithuania" program, which Oranim Collage inaugurated last year. Participants will visit Warsaw, Sejny and Vilnius where they meet with representatives of NGOs, students, educators, scientists and cultural leaders, and explore places related to history, but also get to know the contemporary appearance of these places. The purpose of the meeting is to exchange experiences and good practices in educational and cultural activities and to establish contacts which should result in cooperation in the future. During their stay in Sejny and Krasnogruda, the Oranim Collage group will meet with the Borderland team, learn about the educational practices of various Borderland studios, and take part in a joint Sabbath dinner at the White Synagogue in Sejny.
