Ajyal (Arabic: أجيال - generations) youth movement is an Arab-Israeli movement, established in 2006, and exists as an autonomous division within HaShomer HaTzair.[1]

History

[edit]

Ajyal Youth Movement was established as a continuation of the historic "Arabic Pioneer Youth" (he),[2] which was established by Mapam in the beginning of the 1950s. As the military control over Arab-Israeli population (he) within the Green Line, the Movement gradually lost power, and by the 1980s it existed on a small scale as "The Arab Youth Movement". In 2004 it fell apart, and in 2006 there has been a shared decision to re-establish the movement as an autonomous division within HaShomer HaTzair, in order for there to exist a secular movement in the Arab sector in Israel.[3]

In 2017 Ajyal has established, alongside it's Jewish Israeli partner, a school for refugees of the Syrian civil war.[4]

Ideology

[edit]

The Movement bases it's pedagogy on the belied in humanity, and uses informal educational methods to spread its ideas. The Movement sees education as a means of social mobility, and a main way for personal development and the development of the Arab society in Israel.[5]

The Movement choses its ways of struggle in accordance with the needs of the society within which it exist, and it's purpose is to develop a leadership to fight for social justice in Israel.[6] Since the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, Ajyal has create emergency aid in War struck communities in the Unrecognized Bedouin villages in Israel, and in the village of Arab al-Aramshe.[7] The Movement also has 3 leadership institutions, which work as a "gap year" program for academic and social orientation for young Arab Israelis.[8]

In 2010 the Movement participated in the HaShomer HaTzair's 17th National Conference (he), where Ajyal was re-introduced as HaShomer HaTzair's main partner with which a basis of dialogue between the Jewish and Arab in Israel will be created.
