NEVET is an international, multidisciplinary, research and training venue at the Hebrew University’s School of Social Work and Social Welfare that serves as a greenhouse for capacity building of young scholars and practitioners. NEVET aims to develop context-informed research, practice and policy for professionals working with families and children in multicultural and diverse contexts.
A context-informed perspective seeks to identify the diverse contexts relevant to understanding the life experiences of individuals, families, and communities
It focuses on complexity, dynamic change, hybridity, power relations and agency
“If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together”
// African Proverb
We aim to promote context-informed perspectives and to:
We develop context-informed research, family and community interventions, academic courses and professional training
NEVET has collaborations with various universities abroad (e.g. USA, Germany, Russia, Argentina etc.). We host overseas students, post docs and senior researchers. NEVET’s research group members participate in national and international conferences.
The kindergarten fosters a unique context-informed community for its children, families, staff and university partners. It aims to create a safe space for children and parents where diversity is an asset.
NEVET’s research activity takes place in research groups where senior researchers, doctorate and master students collaborate. All group members meet bi-weekly and present their work in the NEVET seminar
NEVET provides lectures and ongoing training to various organizations who work with children and families. NEVET’s training group developed six modules of creative methods to facilitate active learning and discussion of context-informed issues based on the experience of the training participants
