The General Council of the International Union for Child Welfare, which concluded its session here, voted to hold in Israel a Seminar for educators and social workers for African and Asian countries in the spring of 1961, One seminar program will involve a month of studies on child welfare programs and two months of practical work in Youth Aliyah institutions.
The decision to hold the seminar in Israel was opposed only by the Lebanese delegation. Israel at the same tile was elected to the executive board of the organization, a decision which led the Lebanese delegate to declare that his country would have to reconsider its relationship to the International Union,
Moshe Kol, world chairman for Youth Aliyah, represented Israel and the organization at the conference. The achievements of Youth Aliyah proved to be of great interest to other delegations.
