20–21.02.2026 — the Re-Haifa team took part in a two-day eco-activism retreat held at the KKL-JNF field center in Tzipori. The seminar brought together lectures, group work, discussions of urban environmental issues, tools for civic participation, communication strategies, and the design of new initiatives. One of its most important outcomes was the creation of new contacts, agreements, and first alliances for future environmental projects. We also note that during the seminar, a spontaneous and very revealing “laboratory exercise” on waste management emerged, with a focus on organic and food waste — we will devote a separate post to this topic.

08.01.2026 — the Re-Haifa team helped organize and run the puppet-making workshop “Pocket Theatre”. The session was led by Yulia Ivanter, head of a Moscow theatre studio. For us, this event was especially meaningful because creativity was combined with an ecological approach: the puppets were made from available materials — socks, gloves, buttons, beads, and even packaging. The event took place at the space of our long-time partners — Martef 23 Community Center / Social Justice Center. See more...
26.12.2025 — the New Year eco-festival of Re-Haifa, organized in partnership with Martef 23 Community Center and the Hadar community, was warm, vibrant, and truly large-scale: around 100 people attended.
