Past Projects

Building a tourism infrastructure in Arab towns, promoting cooperation with neighboring Jewish towns

Equality Zones works on creating significant, meaningful and sustainable cooperation between Arab and Jewish towns in the same region. The project strives to eliminate barriers and build relationships between Arab and Jewish local and regional authorities based on mutual interests. Sikkuy works with mayors, professional municipal staff, citizens and civil society organizations to create permanent and sustainable shared regional frameworks. These frameworks work on identifying and developing action plans to advance the economic development of the local communities and equal distribution of regional resources.  These actions make a significant contribution to reducing the tensions between the Arab and Jewish citizens, to leveraging shared economic development, to reducing environmental damage and to advancing relations based on mutual respect.
