We bring presentations about real-life experiences of wounded veterans from Israel's wars.

Each talk is built from real life experiences, combining inspiration with practical insights into resilience and human strength.

This is the continuation of a highly successful project already happening within Israel, and now there's an exceptional opportunity for international audiences to experience it as well.

Professional Training

Professional Team

Every speaker in the project has support from professional coaches who prepare speakers for all events.

Workshops

Why Now?

1

Increase in Wounded Veterans

Following the war, the number of wounded continues to rise. Alongside medical and psychological support, one of the most effective tools for rehabilitation is sharing personal stories on stage. Today, there is an urgent need to create more opportunities for exposure.

2

Strengthening Identity and Unity

In a time of national and cultural confusion, these stories bring a sense of connection, pride, and belonging. They create unity within communities in Israel and abroad.

3

Healing Through Purpose

The lectures provide veterans with a renewed sense of capability and meaning. Even if they cannot return to their former professions, they can stand before an audience, inspire others, and feel valuable again.

4

High Demand for Communication Skills

Communities are eager for tools in self-expression and advocacy. The addition of our official speaker coach's workshop gives audiences not only the chance to listen but also to learn how to share their own voices and stories effectively.
