Trip of a lifetime for educators

Applications for the Jewish National Fund (JNF) Educators Study Tour have been extended to August 4.

This is an all-expenses-paid tour on the ground covering accommodation, meals, internal travel, professional guides and facilitators. Participants are responsible for flights, travel insurance and pre/post tour expenses.

The program, which will return after a two-year hiatus, brings together educators from Jewish, independent and public schools across Australia and New Zealand to explore Israel’s rich history, vibrant culture, environmental innovation and cutting-edge education initiatives.

Throughout the 10-day immersive experience, participants will visit Israeli schools and connect with local teachers and environmental leaders; tour historical and modern sites that tell Israel’s evolving story; explore JNF-supported projects in land, water and forestry across the country; and engage in high-level educational programming focusing on Zionist and environmental values, with resources adapted for Australian classrooms.

This unique initiative aims to deepen understanding of Israel’s heritage, develop classroom-ready resources and foster stronger connections between Australian and Israeli educators and communities.
