Shnat is a 10 month program which consists of many different elements through out the year. The major parts of the year are split into 4 main sections. Machon-
A four month leadership program with Youth movements from all around the world, aiming to become the best Madrichim(leaders) they can. Machon is based in Jerusalem and allows the participants to be able to get to know Jerusalem by living
their. It is a great opportunity for you to meet people from all around the world and get to know people from Australia as well. Volunteering-
One of the most meaningful times of your year, two months of living with fellow Betarim and really bonding with your Tsevet (group). Each year the Volunteering changes to suit the Shnatties but throughout the time they are in this part of the year they learn life skills and budgetting skills. As well as making an impact on peoples lives in the state of Israel. Marva-
Marva is a two and a half month program based on teaching you about the IDF in a practical way. It is one of the most amazing parts of the year and allows you to really take a look at the life of an Israeli soldier. Marva is one of the most important times on the betar shnat program because you meet people from all over the world and the program brings your group closer together. you will make life long friends on this part of the year who you will never lose contact with. There is also MDA as an alternative to Marva if for some reason you are anable to take part in the Marva program. Poland-
In the betar shnat program we put an emphasis on Survival and we have a seminar in Poland so that we can not only remember our history and the hard times of our past but so that we can realise why we survived and what the importance of youth movements in the Shoah really were.
