Voices Of the Streets
Voices of the Streets is an international project which brings diplomacy beyond formal institutions and into the everyday lives of people across the region. Through street interviews and honest conversations, the initiative captures local hopes, concerns, and perspectives that are often absent from political discourse. By listening directly to communities, TABI helps humanise complex issues, challenge assumptions, and ensure that bridge-building begins with the voices of those most affected by regional affairs.
Meet The Leader Series
TABI’s Meet the Leaders Series introduces members to the people leading the organisation’s committees, projects, and regional initiatives. Through personal conversations, TABI leaders share their journeys, and the "why" to where they are, giving participants a clearer understanding of how ideas are transformed into meaningful action. The series strengthens transparency, connection, and collaboration across TABI while inspiring members to take greater ownership of their own leadership potential.
The Abrahamic Kitchen
A joined collaboration between the Culture & Exchange and Public Diplomacy & Media committees, thi sproject brings together far more than only different people and cultures across the globe — it also brings committees together. Through editing, and setting the filming outlines, PDM's talented committee exemplifies its vital role in setting the tone for what The Abraham Bridge Initiative should look like publicly.
Writing For TABI
Writing for TABI is a shared initiative between our Public Diplomacy & Media and Diplomacy & Policy committees, giving members a platform to turn their ideas, research, and perspectives into meaningful public dialogue. From blogs, op-eds, and news analysis to policy pieces, personal reflections, interviews, and cultural commentary, contributors are encouraged to explore the stories and issues shaping Israel, the wider Middle East, and the future of regional cooperation.
