On March 14th-15th, OneVoice Israel conducted a Leadership Course at the Basel Hotel in Tel Aviv, bringing together 28 new youth leaders from all over Israel, and from universities in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beer Sheva, and Hertzliya. During the two day course, the new leaders learned about OneVoice, its methodology and principles, and how to best represent the movement. Through an intensive training session, participants were given the tools to strengthen their public speaking and communication skills. After an enjoyable evening of socializing and getting to know one another, the leaders were up early for a long, information-packed day. Lectures on the second day focused on the OneVoice agenda and mission. Participants increased their familiarity with OneVoice as an organization, gave feedback on the 2008 field outreach campaign, and learned about the new youth leadership structure based on university chapters. During the entire weekend, the new leaders proved to be energetic and insightful, using critical thinking skills to ask challenging questions and give constructive feedback. With the amount of intelligence and enthusiasm that was present in Tel Aviv last weekend, the university campuses across Israel will certainly see some strong and productive OneVoice chapters.
