MEET Constellation Fellowship is a ten-month leadership journey, built with MIT, where empathetic, purpose-driven leaders build an intiative for a shared future, together with a bi-national group of changemakers.
Now open to meet alumni and to changemakers from across the Israeli-Palestinian ecosystem.
Every session runs for a full day in a different location each time: workplaces of fellows, campuses, and partner spaces across the region. No two days are the same.
Speakers bring tools, ideas and experience from leadership, the Israeli-Palestinian reality and social entrepreneurship.
Each session builds on the last. Over ten months, Israeli and Palestinian partners grow together as one group.
Turn your idea into a real project with impact on the Israeli-Palestinian reality. Build it with a group that helps you make it happen.

Constellation is where leaders who believe in a shared future learn to build it. Created for meet alumni and now open to changemakers working in the Israeli-Palestinian ecosystem, it brings them together for ten months of learning, practice and partnership.
Lead from purpose. Participants learn Theory U, the method developed at MIT for leading change, through its working tools: sensing journeys and stakeholder interviews, levels of listening, and prototyping. The method rests on one practical idea: what a leader achieves depends on the quality of attention they bring to the situation. Participants apply these tools to their own project, from the first conversation to a working prototype.
Build what comes next. With MIT DesignX, participants learn to design and build an initiative of their own. Each carries a project, focused on the Israeli-Palestinian reality in the region, and aimed at changing the reality we live in. Participants build their projects together, testing and strengthening each other's work. The cohort becomes a bi-national network of changemakers.
Understand the reality you act in. Participants study the narratives that Israelis and Palestinians hold about their own identity, history and claims, and deepen their understanding of the conflict across the region. They examine how these narratives shape politics, society and daily life, so that the projects they build rest on a clear picture of the reality they want to change.
Understand each other from the inside. As a dialogue group of Israelis and Palestinians, participants work through their disagreements together, learn to hear the other side's experience as it is lived, and build the trust that a shared future requires. The group becomes a practice space for the partnership they aim to create beyond the program.
meet inspires Israeli and Palestinian youth to find common ground. In partnership with MIT since 2004, meet teaches excelling high school students computer science, entrepreneurship and leadership skills, so they can make a lasting, meaningful change in their communities.

No. Constellation fellowship is a meet-led program open to alumni and non-alumni.
The intiative can be part of your current job, but it needs to add a layer or a new direction to it. This fellowship is not about re-creating things that exist but creating something new or improving an existing project.
Yes, if you already have an initiative or groundwork you’re passionate about.
