education. The main emphasis of the program is to create an in-depth acquaintance with socio-
environmental issues in the Negev.

The Koren-Kaye-JITLI Center: Within the complex reality of the tension in Jewish-Arab relations in
Israeli society, the Koren-Kaye-JITLI Center was established to enhance collaboration and mutual
respect between Jewish and Bedouin students, to increase knowledge of the “other” and to
strengthen feelings of acceptance and trust. The principles that guide the center’s initiatives are
shared living and joint action, experiential learning, activities that respond to shared goals and
interests, joint coordination by faculty and students and student enrichment.

Biomimicry: The main idea behind biomimicry is that nature has amazing solutions for different
needs, so it is very worthwhile to test it as a source of knowledge for sustainable solutions. The field
is recognized as an engine of innovation in different aspects of life. The students developed a
biomimetic learning pathway in the College garden, which includes written explanations in Hebrew
and Arabic and presents various activity stations on the topic of animals and plants that are unique
to the Negev.

Walking Path in Kaye College -"Kaye Paths": Kaye College has been an important arena for the
implementation of programs that promote a healthy lifestyle. This is because Kaye College
aggregates a number of versatile populations (students, in service teachers, senior citizen learners,
academic faculty and managerial staff members). Students who study at the Physical Education
Program have initiated the marking of a peripheral, 775 meters long, walking path across campus.
Alongside the path are signs promoting healthy physical activity, including a warm-up activity, a
walking technique, awareness of healthy lifestyles and physical exercises.
