  • Leadership by Streetwise – Jewish Identity Trip to Budapest 27.10.2019 – 29.10.2019
    Leadership by Streetwise – Jewish Identity Trip to Budapest 27.10.2019 – 29.10.2019 On Sunday 27th October, 2019, 11 young leaders and 4 staff members went to Budapest for the Leadership by Streetwise programme’s second ever international Trip. The 3-day trip used parts of the Jewish Identity Programme from the European Maccabi Games 2019, and reshaped into relevant content for young leaders in training. At every site visited, the group had a guided tour and an informal educational activity that allowed them to connect with the site and history on a more personal level and to develop their leadership skills. Sunday started with a trip to the Citadella, a beautiful view-point of the city and home to the Hungarian Statue of Liberty. The topic of conversation was freedom, what it meant to us and to what extent we have it. This was linked with our Judaism and how visible we feel we can be with it, linking to a broader conversation about integration vs assimilation. We continued this theme throughout the trip to compare and contrast our lives as Jews in Britain, to the Jews living in Hungary today. From the Citadella we went on to Buda Castle and Fisheman’s Bastion. We discussed how the Jewish people came to Hungary in the middle ages and throughout history were persecuted and expelled, then brought back to the forefront of society for economic growth. The group got onto a discussion about teamwork and how it feels to play different roles within a team, to be needed, to be used, to be excluded.
