The Act-IL Internship Program
Act-IL was established in the Situation Rooms during the 2012 and 2014 conflicts with Hamas. Its main goal is to combat online antisemitism and fight the delegitimization of Israel. We do that by mobilizing our online community of activists from all over the world and making a positive influence on the international public opinion using crowdsourcing of online activism on social media platforms
Annual Internship Program
The Act-IL internship program provides its interns with effective, innovative, and practical tools for public diplomacy management in the 21st Century. The program inspires professional excellence and critical thinking. By combining interdisciplinary thinking with proactive online activism, the program equips interns with the tools needed to get hands-on experience in the fields of content creation, community mobilization and public diplomacy. Interns have the unique opportunity to apply skills learned throughout their academic studies at Reichman University and gain hands-on training and experience in strategic decision-making and digital content creation and distribution.
