Dual Exercise
In Coexistence
"The dog ate my homework"
cannot serve as an excuse in a
course where the dog may very
well be the homework.
Broadening its scope, CHAT,
Concern for Helping Animals in
Israel, has recently completed
its first experimental program
to promote pluralism amongC\
children. Through learning
about animals and their care,
40 Jewish and Arab children
have been learning to care
about each other.
Twice a month for six
months, 20 Jewish 9-year-olds
from the Gabrieli School in af-
fluent North Tel Aviv met with
20 Arab nine-year-olds from the
Hassan Arfeh School in Jaffa at
the SPCA (Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals)
shelter in Tel Aviv-Jaffa in the
framework of the "Living To-
gether" program.
With the approval from the
Ministry of Education's Unit for
Democracy and Coexistence
and the involvement of each
class's teacher, the children em-
barked on an adventurous ex-
periment. Questionnaires were
filled out which sought to get a
reading on the children's atti-
tudes both toward animals and
each other: 'There is something
good in each animal — even
those I don't like. Expand and
explain." "Could you have an
Arab/Jewish friend?" "What if
we all had one, identical cul-
ture?"
Since only about one-quarter
of the children had pets at
home, attitudes toward animals
ranged from indifference to fear.
Many had never even touched
an animal. Also, the Jewish
children, who had had no con-
tact with Arabs, tended to be
hesitant, whereas the Arab chil-
dren from Jaffa, which is about
60 percent Jewish, were more
open to their counterparts.
During the program, the film
Protecting the Web was
screened, which explained the
place and value of every living
creature in the balance of na-
ture. After its showing, the chil-
dren were told to hold hands
and form a giant web. The child
in the center represented the
sun; the others represented
plants and animals. One by one,
children were removed from the
web to illustrate how quickly it
is weakened, to the detriment
of the whole, whether through
lack of respect or careles-
sness.
In another exercise, each
child was asked to make an an-
imal mask. He then had to pre-
tend to be that animal and try
to project how the animal feels
when it is abused, neglected or
caged. "This helped the children
