A ten-week course in techniques of cooperative living opened here yesterday with farmers from ten former French and Belgian colonies in Africa as the students.
The course, sponsored by the Israel Foreign Ministry and the Histadrut, Israel’s General Federation of Labor, is part of a program of technical, economic and cultural assistance organized for newly emancipated countries in Africa and Asia, Israel officials hope that the aid program will offset Arab League pressure on the new countries.
During the past two years, agricultural officials, teachers, and graduates of agricultural schools in Asia and Africa have attended ten similar seminars in Israel.
