altneuland
The International Initiative
for Migration, Development, and Reconciliation
Altneuland is a comprehensive global framework designed to address one of the most defining transformations of the 21st century: the convergence of forced migration, development failure, climate-related stress, inequality, fragility, and governance breakdown.
The initiative draws on Jewish moral teachings, Herzlian thought, European experience, Israeli social innovation, and a long history of reconciliation-particularly the German–Israeli process-to propose a new integrated system capable of bridging the structural divide between humanitarian response and long-term development.
Our Vision
Where every journey leads to belonging, resilience, and human flourishing.
We envision a world that embraces human mobility as a source of strength, renewal, and shared opportunity. A world where economic, social, and cultural stability and growth are attainable for all people, wherever they come from or wherever they may go.Rooted in the moral and ethical values of the Jewish tradition, the principles of Israeli democracy, and respect for diverse beliefs, we see societies where compassion guides action; where humanitarian relief evolves into sustainable development; and where recovery from trauma opens pathways to hope and possibility.In this future, migration and development are not crises to be managed, but catalysts for dignity, creativity, and shared wellbeing — enabling individuals and communities to thrive, contribute, and belong.
Our Mission
Creating pathways of hope, healing, and opportunity — from displacement to renewal and shared growth.
Our mission is to strengthen resilience and wellbeing in communities affected by migration or underdevelopment, working in partnership with local stakeholders to advance human dignity, equity, and safety. Guided by the Sustainable Development Goals and informed by ethical responsibility, we address the structural drivers of forced migration while expanding opportunities for all members of society.We work through field-based education and learning, interdisciplinary innovation, inclusive financing and impact investment, reconciliation and trauma-informed community building, and long-term system development — ensuring that mobility and development become pathways to stability, prosperity, and hope for a better future.
Our Commitment
Our Commitment
We are committed to supporting human development in ways that uphold dignity, equity, and hope. Guided by the Sustainable Development Goals and inspired by the moral and ethical values of the Jewish tradition and Israel’s democratic spirit, we work with local partners to strengthen both communities of origin and host societies. We focus on practical, responsible, and collaborative action so that mobility can lead to safety, opportunity, and shared wellbeing.
Our Promise
We work to turn both displacement and underdevelopment into opportunities for growth by bringing together recovery, education, innovation, development financing, and reconciliation through an integrated, human-centered approach. We help communities build sustainable foundations for dignity, security, and purpose—wherever they are and whatever their journey.
We strive to ensure that:
• Human mobility and development become pathways to resilience — not instability.
• Communities grow and prosper — not merely cope.
• Every journey leads to belonging, opportunity, and hope for a better future.
