TEAM PROJECTS

The team projects component of the program plays an essential role in building trust and long-term working relationships between program participants.
Participants on the program will be grouped into teams of 4 people (2 Israelis and 2 Indonesians), according to areas of interest and the kind of projects they wish to develop.
