A community gathering spondored by the Anna Lindh Foundation and Forum ZFD, of Kibbutz Kramim and the village of Kasser El Sir took place on the week of the 6-13 of December 2009 in Kibbutz Kramim. The workshops included communal sharing, mud brick workshop, mud ovens and several lectures. The two communities are in the process of change, transforming into ecological communities and thus have a common path to share apart from being neighboring communities in the Negev - one Jewish and one Bedouin.
