Gurevitch is the founder and chair of the 'Dangoor Centre' at the Faculty of Humanities at Bar Ilan University since its establishment in 2008, is dedicated to fostering global dialogue and understanding through the Humanities. This interdisciplinary approach encompasses literature, art, languages, music, the study of religions, and philosophy. The primary objective of the center is to serve as an instrumental tool for eradicating ignorance, bridging prejudices, and facilitating intercultural dialogue, thus providing a platform for the sharing of humanistic values.

The center's activities are concentrated within three main domains of thought and practice: the history of ideas, cultural diplomacy, and contemporary cultural studies. Furthermore, in her capacity as Chief Editor, Danielle oversees three book series that facilitate the intersection of humanities and cultural bridge-building: "History of Ideas" (Hebrew), "Interpretation of Cross Cultures" (English), and the Jewish Bookshelf Open Access Digital Library (Arabic), which are integral components of the Dangoor Centre's initiatives.   https://dangoorcentre.com/
