Project “JCC Global – Speak & Connect”:

Teens from each JCC connected through a series of Zoom sessions during Spring 2025 and exchanged short videos reflecting on what it means to be a Jewish teenager in their respective cities.

​

"JCC Global - Taste of Home":
Families from each community participate in joint Zoom sessions focused on Jewish culinary traditions. Each session includes a guest speaker who shares their perspective on food, culture, and identity. The project will run from Winter 2026 through Summer 2026 and will conclude with a joint cookbook created by all participating communities.

​

Mentorship:

Mentoring sessions have focused on organizational learning. Partners shared insights on budgeting structures and financial practices, and explored the history of the Jewish community in Mykolaiv, including its revival in the post-Soviet period.

Staff visits have already took place as part of this partnership.
