Our “Peace Talks” project aims to advance peaceful dialogue and socio-political pressure towards advancing a peace process that will end the Israeli Palestinian conflict by 2030.

This is how you can join / support us:

  • Meetings in person with diverse communities in Israel, throughout Europe and North America and webinars in Japan, Africa and Australia.

  • Lectures for high school students, college students, Israelis, and international delegation

  • Dialogue with educators to develop and lead education programs to build a shared future with reconciliation and peace.

  • Tours in Nazareth led by Maoz Inon which provide an opportunity for participants to be exposed to and to engage directly with the history and narratives of Palestinian society building deep cross-communal trust and partnership through understanding.

​

Join us to see the potential and strengths of dialogue. Some of us have lost our loved ones in this conflict, other have experienced unbearable pain, and yet we are choosing life, we are choosing to communicate and inspire dialogue between neighbors, and even enemies. We are here to imagine and create a better future for us and for our children. We are here In this time of great change on this planet, in order to manifest a planet of Peace & Love not as a naive title, but in a compassionate and brave manner.
