08:00 We have the great honor to welcome Israel's Tourism Minister Isaac Herzog.
Herzog not only gives a very impressive speech but also provides a diploma to each participant writing the following:
 
  " I am honored to recognize you as a true friend of Israel.
Thank you for your support and solidarity which are deeply appreciated.
It is my pleasure to name you as a tourism goodwill ambassador for Israel".
 
  All documents tag the original signature of the minister and our names!  
   
10:00 The next lession is about writing a business plan and how to adopt those techniques to our work with students organisations. The aim is to improve professionalism also in volunteer work which is as i think a great idea and necessary. This workshop is given by Yaniv from mashkochit
 
11:30 Isreal is hot!
Jacob Ner- David presents this economial condition of Israel with regard to the boom of high tech. Simply stated has Israel moved from a citrus producer to a world leading high tech producer. This transformation was possible mainly due tue:
» less governmental regulations
» investments in accademia
» Tsahal
» the Aliya from former Soviet Union
» and the development in the field of venture capital
