US-Israel Social Entrepreneurship Program
HTH Chula Vista – “Revision Project” – www.revisionproject.com
Media Advisory – Thursday, June 9, 2016 from 5:00PM – 7:30 PM
The Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles, together with the UC San Diego Rady School of Management, and the Anti-Defamation League have joined with High Tech High Chula Vista’s “ReVision Project” – a project in which 12th grade students create and design hubs for civic and social innovation in Chula Vista and San Diego County.
The goal of the partnership is to support and inspire high school seniors with the vision of social improvement and equip them with the tools needed to realize their vision of effective and practical social innovations.
Under the academic supervision of Israeli expert Ayelet Gneezy, Associate Professor of Behavioral Sciences and Marketing and JoAnne Starr, Assistant Dean for Graduate Programs of the UC San Diego Rady School of Management who co-direct the Rady School’s Center for Social Innovation and Impact (CSII), the participating high school seniors have been matched with MBA students from UC San Diego and will be mentored by them throughout both the creative process and the proposal process.
Social-entrepreneurship is rooted in the concept of “Tikun Olam,” repairing the world, and is a central value to both Judaism and the State of Israel, which is renowned for technological and social innovations that have been instrumental in advancing the well-being of countless communities in Israel and around the world. Such innovation begins at home with individuals who are inspired to make a difference for their communities and society at large. The Consulate General of Israel will bring Israeli guest speakers to the students throughout the year. The program will conclude with the participants presenting their projects at a showcase held at High Tech High Chula Vista with Consul General of Israel David Siegel.
This event will take place on June 9th from 5pm to 7pm at High Tech High, 1945 Discovery Falls Dr, Chula Vista, CA 91915
We invite you to hear from students about their unique learning experience.
