What is the Jerusalem Intercultural Center
The Jerusalem Intercultural Center (JICC) is an independent, non-profit organization, established in 1999 with a vision for an inclusive, tolerant and vibrant Jerusalem for all.
JICC works at the individual, communal, and institutional levels in order to strengthen civil society, build communal resilience, and alleviate conditions of urban inequality.
JICC is the only civil society organization addressing the needs of all Jerusalemites and relates to the city as one urban unit.
As such, JICC enjoys rare legitimacy with all major communities: Ultra-Orthodox, Modern Orthodox and Secular Jews, and Christian and Muslim Arabs, and empowers them to be active and effective in shaping their shared futures. JICC uses the rich complexity and diversity of the City of Jerusalem to reduce friction and advance best practices of diversity, inclusion and equality in major agencies at local and national levels.
