Deutsch-Israelisches Zukunftsforum (DIZF) | פורום העתיד גרמניה-ישראל

The German-Israeli Future Forum Foundation stands for democracy, diversity and cooperation. We do not tolerate hate speech, slander and discrimination.

The German-Israeli Future Forum brings together professionals, students and young leaders from Germany and Israel who want to shape the present and future relations of our countries and champion the democratic organization of our societies. We encourage dialogue and discussion, based on mutual respect – also, and especially with regards to, differences of opinion. We reserve the right to delete co

mments and block users that do not comply with these values. In short: Let's be good. :-)

We offer young adults in Germany and Israel an opportunity for creative teamwork. To deal with the past in a responsible way, as well as to address the range of experiences and living environments in the here and now is at the center of our work. We fund bilateral projects that take on current societal issues in Germany and Israel as well as address young people with different social, political, and cultural backgrounds. This focus can be seen most clearly in the Foundation’s funding priorities and in our support of individual projects.
