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 1950's. As the military control over Arab-Israeli population (he) within the Green Line, the Movement gradually lost power, and by the 1980's 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].

[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.

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[5]. 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[6]

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.
