Vision and Mission Statement
In a hi-tech world of globalization, it is our vision to have a healthier and more equal-opportunity community, to support social change, and to narrow social gaps in our society.
At Formula we believe that education and technology expand opportunities and enrich individuals and communities. It is our mission to use our technological edge, our expertise and resources to support youth in distress, striving to move away from delinquency, vagrancy and addictions to a better world.
FORMULA has partnered with the nation-wide MIFTAN special schools network in making its vision and mission a vibrant reality.
OUR SIGNATURE PROJECT:
The FORMULA - MIFTAN Project
Acting on our belief that technology is an important tool in helping youth in distress realize their full potential and grant them access to equal opportunities, Formula is providing MIFTAN schools with fully equipped, state-of-the-art PC Centers. The Formula PC centers are uniquely designed and equipped to meet the youth's special needs. Formula PC centers provide a different educational framework, offering a variety of software products to create a wide range of interactive studying experiences. The Formula PC center helps these youth bridge the technological gap. It brings the benefits of computer and communication technologies to a formerly weaker link in the community. To date, seven such centers at MIFTAN schools are operating throughout the country.
WIN WIN PROJECT
Setting up the project Formula has partnered with the youth at Miftan schools that took upon themselves the challenge and the commitment of manufacturing the furniture for the Formula PC center at the school workshop, with our full support. The youth thus become completely committed to the project which enhances our partnership and is the best achievement of Formula's own social commitment.
MIFTAN SCHOOLS
MIFTAN was founded in 1949. Today, thirty-four Miftan schools throughout Israel, maintained and supervised by the Youth Rehabilitation Service of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and the local authorities, provide an integrative-oriented therapeutic-educational environment for youth in distress, showing normal cognitive capability together with emotional distress. The schools cater to youth aged 12-18, with difficulties in social adjustment, episodes of vagrancy, anguish, patterns of delinquency and substance abuse.
The MIFTAN schools strive to provide these youths the opportunity of acquiring scholastic, social and work skills that will enable them to fully reintegrate in the community as equal partners.
To achieve these goals, MIFTAN offers a combined program of vocational workshop training, academic studies on an individualized basis, and a variety of social interaction and enrichment activities. The Miftan vocational workshop curriculum includes: carpentry, auto mechanics, metal work, gardening, childcare, hairdressing, baking, cooking, arts & crafts.
