The AZYC runs the Sikkum Seminar (Closing Seminar) for all participants on our Shnat programs.

The main aim of the seminar is to prepare the participants for their return to Australia/New Zealand and encourage them to take an active role in community life. The two days are spent discussing the roles and challenges that they will face, engaging in round table discussions with ex-youth movement Bogrim, ex-Shlichim and community leaders.

While the seminar marks the end of the 10-month program for the participants, it is designed to open the participants up to the concept of translating their Israel experiences into personal and communal practicalities as well as exposing them to some of the core communal elements that they will be encountering upon their return.
