A delegation from the University of Haifa’s Faculty of Law won first place at the Manara Youth Coexistence Initiative Showcase 2026 in Abu Dhabi, competing against youth delegations from around the world. Representing the University, students Noa Yosef, Yahya Manaa, and Mika Talby-Shain presented a project developed through the Faculty’s “Shared Living” initiative, which was established by Prof. Faina Milman-Sivan and Adv. Dana Feinreich Gilo in the aftermath of October 7. Grounded in dialogue, mediation, and consensus-building, the initiative promotes cooperation and bridge-building across diverse communities. The delegation presented its vision before an international audience of ambassadors, government officials, academics, and opinion leaders, while also honoring the memory of University of Haifa student Shada Khatib. Alongside the competition victory, the students established meaningful connections with participants from Africa, Asia, and the Gulf region, creating new opportunities for future international collaboration.
