ITME intelligence perspectives non-profit
OUR METHODOLOGY RESTS ON TWO CORE PILLARS
1. Provides professional, apolitical, non-partisan, intelligence based contextualized education, and knowledge about the Middle East.
2. Teaches and equips people with practical intelligence analysis and assessment skills and tools that empower them to be sophisticated media literate critical thinkers.
“We believe the essence of education is not telling people what to think. The essence of real education is teaching people how to think.”
Together, we can equip more people to have constructive and productive dialogue, understand Israel and the Middle East, and successfully navigate an increasingly complex world.
From 2013 – 2018, Avi served as the Salisbury Fellow of Intelligence and Middle East Affairs for the Eisenhower Institute. Under his leadership, ITME grew from an undergraduate initiative, to include workshops and seminars from High Schools to Capitol Hill and Jewish communal leadership, directly impacting the outlook, educational path, and career trajectory of more than 200 current and future leaders.
In its sixth year – now an independent 501c3, ITME has the same mission – to provide a non-partisan education on the contemporary Middle East while teaching critical analysis in an innovative and engaging fashion. ITME’s goal is to ensure that the next generation of policy influencers will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and tools to independently and accurately decipher the Middle East and accurately predict the direction of future events.
Today – a decade later, ITME continues to provide knowledge, customized educational experiences, tools, and resources to organizations, private individuals, students, practitioners, and leaders.
