One more step toward Peace

Some of the girls and boys involved in the project

Goals:

1) The project intends to be a contribution to the peace process in the Middle East. On the basis of the recognized importance that the civil society has in establishing a new phase based on equality and reciprocity between Arabs and Israelis, this “pilot project” intends to support and strengthen linkages between the communities of Aqaba and Eilat through a series of exchange programs between school students in both cities.

Activities:

• 60 day long dialogues and accompanying activities over the course of three years. During each project year the following meetings will be held:

1. web-developing meetings for 50 students;
2. art meetings for 50 students;
3. theatrical meetings for 50 students;
4. summer camp;
5. 1 conference for each city at the end of the activities
6. Roma tour of the students involved and finale performance.

Results:

• trip to Rome with the Arab and Israelis students,
• video on the project realized;
• final theatre performance realized by the students involved;
