Israeli
and Palestinian Women Working for Peace:
Realities, Struggles, and Visions for the Future
|
Delegation Leaders:
Mark Braverman and Meera Shah
|
|
This delegation will feature meetings with the women
leading Palestinians and Israelis towards peace. You will meet with
the leaders of women’s organizations and focus on their work
in rejecting violence and animosity and building the foundations of
a more hopeful future for all people in the region. Additionally,
you will hear from a wide range of other Israelis and Palestinians
about their lives, struggles, and hopes for the future. |
|
|
Delegates will visit
the Wall, discuss settlements, meet Palestinian and Israeli students,
and travel inside Israel to meet Israelis and Palestinians who live
there. Finally, you will analyze the US role in the conflict, and
wrestle with ways to translate your experience to others when you
return home.
In addition to the focus on the women, this delegation
will also include many other meetings and features of usual Interfaith
Peace-Builders delegations. To learn more about the standard components
