Encounters Between Groups in Conflict Ahmad Hijazi, MA & Ohad Bar Shalom, MSW

 
Neve Shalom /Wahat Al Salaam is a village in Israel jointly established in 1972 by Jews and Palestinian Arabs of Israeli citizenship, and is engaged in educational work for peace, equality and understanding between the two peoples. Being dissatisfied with previously existing methods, this unique community developed it's own new approach to dialogue - one that places the Conflict at the center of the group experience. This session presents the approach developed at the NSWAS School for Peace through 25 years of experience with encounters between Jews and Palestinians.
