Facing the challenge of decreasing social gaps, an educational model to advance social mobility was developed.The model advocates excellence and includes academic reinforcement, cultural enrichment, community outreach and parents involvement.
This program promotes an equal opportunity for success to talented children from distressed background, and helps them build a better future for themselves. It creates a nurturing environment which empowers and encourages a child to excel, to dare to dream, and to fulfill dreams.

Shula is an organizational psychologist (Ph.D Columbia University), investing in hi-tech and healthcare startups in Israel. She is a strong believer in education as the most effective tool for reducing poverty and creating opportunities for bridging social gaps. Over a decade she is leading Educating for Excellence (E4E) -- a social venture which promotes children from impoverished areas to break the cycle of poverty and fulfill their potential.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
