Givat Haviva is an education, research and documentation center, founded in 1949 by The Kibbutz Haartzi Federation in memory of Haviva Reik. The campus is located in the northern Sharon Valley (east of Hadera), Israel.

Givat Haviva won the UNESCO PRIZE for Peace Education 2001 for its Jewish-Arab Center for Peace at Givat Haviva

The mission of Givat Haviva today is to cope with the major issues that are on the agenda of Israeli society, and to foster educational initiatives, research and community work in the fields of peace, democracy, coexistence, tolerance and social solidarity.

Over 50,000 children, youth and adults from Israel and abroad participate annually in the seminars, workshops, courses, conferences and other projects offered by Givat Haviva in a range of educational, academic and professional fields.

The campus facilities include classrooms, auditoriums for conferences and events, guestrooms for hosting VIPs, a computer lab, a language lab, a very rich research library, 112 dormitory rooms (480 beds), a swimming pool, sports fields and spacious lawns.

Today's Situation

"The army that will defeat terrorism doesn't wear uniforms, or drive Humvees, or calls in air-strikes. It doesn't have a high command, or high security, or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism does battle quietly, clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It undermines military dictatorships and military lobbyists. It subverts sweatshops and special interests.Where people feel powerless, it helps them organize for change, and where people are powerful, it reminds them of their responsibility." ~~~~ Author Unknown ~~~~
