"Thank you to MASHAV and the Weitz Center staff for an unforgettable experience in Israel. I couldn't wait to get back to Ghana to begin implementing significant cleantech projects, especially in the bio-gas field."
- Mr. Daniel Digber (Ghana), Cleantech 2015 |
The Weitz Center for Sustainable Development conducts several international training courses annually on topics related to sustainable development. Each course is sponsored by the Israeli Agency for International Development Cooperation (MASHAV) of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and hosted at the Weitz Center facilities in Rehovot, Israel. The courses are open to professionals from a diverse range of developing (and transitioning) countries who seek to learn how to leverage local assets for strategic development. Our training methodology originates from the understanding that all localities, regardless of their current status, hold assets which can contribute to sustainable development and that empowering individuals and communities plays a critical role in this process. Participants engage in a hands-on, intensive learning experience for an average of 25 days, benefiting from instructive experience gained from Israeli experts, industry leaders and one another through lectures, site visits and interactive sessions. All topics are examined through an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together professionals and participants from public, private and third party sectors for a unique, integrated experience.
More than 5,000 professionals have taken part in these international MASHAV training programs. The Center focuses on empowering the participants to build on their assets for Local Economic Development. See below for information about our upcoming 2018 courses.
