Vision of the City of Afula

Afula will become a leading city in the areas of education, culture, commerce, quality of life, and services extended to both residents and visitors.

Education & culture as a central value in Afula

Afula will see itself as responsible for supplying its residents with a high quality system of formal and informal education.

We will encourage young peoples' aspiration to pursue an academic education and educate for the values of appropriate behavior, mutual respect and love for others.

The education system will encourage and cultivate excellence, and maximize both personal and group potential—for all ages.

Afula will view sports as a powerful educational instrument for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, fostering integrity, reducing violence, helping others, and recognizing the value of the group.

Afula will cultivate its cultural life in harmony with its residents, based on their ages and cultural tastes.  The city will open its gates to all residents of the north.

Central economic and commercial city

Afula will encourage and foster commercial life, cafés, restaurants and recreational centers.  The city will establish itself as a center of advanced, high-quality industries, and encourage diverse business entrepreneurship.

Afula will cultivate values of excellence and honesty in an efficient and sober style of budget management in the interest of advancing the city.

A green city

Afula will cultivate preservation of a clean and healthy environment.

Afula will foster educational projects that encourage recycling.

Afula will take action to reduce air pollution via education, enforcement of laws, and encouraging the use of clean transportation.

With an eye to the city's residents and visitors

Afula will serve as a city that absorbs a diverse population of immigrants and opens its gates to all people—encouraging a shared community life between immigrants and native residents, young and old, religious and secular.

Afula will view its residents as the prime resource for its development.  Therefore Afula will nurture its young people, attend to the welfare of older residents, integrate immigrants, and inspire an atmosphere of security and protection for all its residents.
