AN INVITATION TO COLLABORATE: CULTURE, EDUCATION AND PEACE

A proposal for collaboration with cultural, educational, civic and community organizations

Tiberias, Israel | August 2026

Shalom,

I am pleased to invite cultural, educational, civic, religious and community organizations to explore opportunities for collaboration in the fields of art, music, education, dialogue and peace.

Following my recent work in Italy as an Ambassador for Peace with the Universal Peace Federation, I have returned to Israel with a renewed commitment to building bridges between people through culture and education.

As a second-generation child of Holocaust survivors, memory, education and the responsibility to transmit the lessons of history have always been an important part of my life and work. My experience has taught me that dialogue is one of the most powerful ways to create understanding, respect and meaningful human connection.

Dialogue Opens the Door to Peace

Peace begins when people are willing to listen to one another.

Beyond political divisions, my work focuses on the human dimension, on what we share and on the ways in which education, culture and personal encounter can help us understand one another more deeply.

True dialogue does not require us to erase our differences. It allows us to recognize them, respect them and discover a common language through which trust can grow.

Education Creates the Foundation

Education gives us the tools to understand history, confront prejudice and build a more responsible future.

My work has included lectures, conferences, educational programs and cultural initiatives addressing subjects such as Holocaust memory, the experience of the second generation, peace, identity, art, music and the importance of human dignity.

I believe that meaningful education must reach beyond the classroom. It should touch the intellect, the emotions and the conscience.

Art, Music and Culture Create the Bridge

Throughout my life, I have worked as a vocal pedagogue, lecturer, author, poet and visual artist.

These different forms of expression have one essential element in common: they create connection.

Art can communicate what ordinary conversation sometimes cannot. Music can bring people together before they even share a common language. Literature, poetry and visual expression allow us to encounter another person’s experience from within.

Cultural events can therefore become much more than performances or exhibitions. They can become spaces of encounter, dialogue and mutual discovery.

Opportunities for Collaboration

I welcome the opportunity to work with organizations, municipalities, schools, cultural institutions, universities, community centers and faith-based organizations interested in developing meaningful programs and events.

Possible areas of collaboration include:

• Lectures, conferences and public conversations

• Art exhibitions and interdisciplinary cultural programs

• Music and vocal education

• Holocaust memory and second-generation testimony

• Educational programs for schools and communities

• Poetry, literature and artistic presentations

• Dialogue and peace-building initiatives

• Cultural events designed to strengthen understanding between communities

  
  

Each collaboration can be developed according to the needs, audience and goals of the hosting organization.

Culture for Unity

My deepest interest is in creating opportunities for people to meet one another beyond labels and assumptions.

I believe that culture can create a space where people who might otherwise remain separated can listen, experience, learn and discover something of one another.

Dialogue opens the door. Education provides the foundation. Art, music and culture create the bridge.

These principles continue to guide my work.

Let Us Create Something Meaningful Together

I would be delighted to explore creative and constructive ways in which we can collaborate to serve our communities and develop projects with lasting educational and cultural value.

I invite organizations and individuals who share this vision to contact me and begin a conversation.

With warm greetings of peace and fraternity,

Miriam Jaskierowicz Arman
