July 2010 Delegation
Tomorrow's Leaders: Youth Realities and Peacebuilding Initiatives
in Palestine and Israel
July 24 - August 6, 2010
Delegation Leaders: Jacob Pace and Miryam Rashid
Co-Sponsored with AFSC-Great Lakes Region
Two thirds of the Palestinian population and one third of the Israeli population are under the age of 25. More than just numbers, youth in Israel/Palestine play important roles in community development, lead nonviolent struggles for justice, and work together across national lines towards reconciliation. They are also among the conflict’s most tragic victims.
This delegation will explore issues relevant to young people in Palestine/Israel, including efforts to educate and empower future generations working towards a just resolution to the conflict. Our itinerary will feature meetings with Palestinian and Israeli youth and youth workers as well as leaders of civil society groups, grassroots organizers, religious leaders and more.
DEADLINE TO APPLY: Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until late May. Spaces are already filling up, so we can't guarantee spots will be available. Apply soon to reserve your space!
