5th Continental Seminar, Uruguay

Our Youth Movement in Latin America, Maccabi Tzair CLAM (part of CLAM, the Latin American Maccabi Confederation) continues to make Maccabi history. Our madrichim, the best educators from Spanish speaking organizations, will be participating in the Fifth Continental Seminar in Uruguay.
Since its inception during the 17th Maccabiah in July 2005, Maccabi Tzair CLAM has grown steadily. It is aimed exploring all aspects of our Maccabi ideals of Jewish Continuity and Zionism, and developing regional and international projects to create opportunities to share ideas and programs between Maccabi Youth organizations. Additionally, educational materials have been exchanged through camps, meetings, and simultaneous peulot (activities).
This exceptional Continental Seminar (the first was in Pirianápolis, Uruguay with 280 educators; the second in Buenos Aires, Argentina with 250, the third one in Santiago, Chile, with 300) enjoyed participation of nearly 200 madrichim and educational coordinators from 8 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, Venezuela, and our Movement’s Center in Israel. The Continental Seminar is the culmination of dozens of regional and international seminars held in different parts of Latin America, USA and Israel.
