CoCuDi promotes a tolerant, just and peace-striving society that recognizes and respects the unique identity and culture of every person.
CoCuDi‘s mission is to overcome barriers of misunderstanding, prejudice and distrust that cause societal injustices, by creating programs rooted in cultural identities and characteristics, primarily in Israel and emerging economies in Africa.
CoCuDi accomplishes this by employing an array of methods that enhance tolerance and mutual respect by educating and sensitizing change agents to unfamiliar cultures.
CoCuDi accomplishes its mission by employing an array of methods that enhance tolerance and mutual respect by educating and sensitizing change agents to unfamiliar cultures and, at the same time, engaging them in a reflective process of their own culture and perceptions.
CoCuDi Center, in collaboration with the African Studies Gallery, is facilitating an exchange program between the Ceramics and Glass Department at Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem and the Margaret Trowel School of Fine and Industrial Art at Makerere University Kampala.
The exhibition ‘East Meets East’ offers a powerful and unmediated encounter with Ugandan contemporary visual art. The exhibition, a first of its kind in Israel, provides an opportunity for a firsthand experience of the booming East African art scene while undermining Western perceptions and expectations.
We came from different worlds but very soon we understood the power of partnership. We established our first joint program in 2015. From there we embarked on various adventures and missions in Israel and worldwide, we learned together about our uniqueness and our unity and the desire to jointly lead significant social action in our place.
With emphasis on impacting, educating and sensitizing change agents within our own society, CoCuDi is collaborating with civic society organizations, governmental bodies, academies and business companies.
