ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on some of the more intricate processes occurring among the participants of multicultural courses in an academic college in Israel where a unique method of facilitating mixed groups is being implemented. It highlights the case of the Bedouin female student who went to settle her tuition fee, took place on the large, institutional level, in the open space of the college, where free intermingling takes place among all the participants. The transition from the village to the college entails going through some different spaces of identity, each of which contributes to learning in different places simultaneously, places of learning which may be profoundly different, resulting in different learning experiences. Byrom, T. and Lightfoot claim that although the identity transformation or transgression for students who continue living at home is not as pronounced as for students who leave home.
