The program includes 5 meetings built of two parts: Discussion Groups, and a Lecture from an Important Public Figure. 50 students are carefully selected from various faculties on campus to participate in the program. This year we added a tour to South Tel Aviv in order to explore the unsettled issue of refugees in Israel outside the classroom forum.

8. This year, the program focuses on topics relevant to the current political and social situations in Israel, such as the Israeli-Arab Conflict, the LGBT community, the Orthodox-Secular conflict and multiculturalism in the business world. Each DOIT event starts off with group discussions concerning the multicultural issue at hand, in order to enable the students to engage in an open and in depth discussion.
