In light of the global dialogue emerging as a result of the Freedom Flotilla crisis, the 2010 Palestine Center Summer Intern Lecture Series seeks to highlight the role of nonviolent activism within the Palestinian solidarity movement. This series focuses on Palestinian grassroots political activism, cultural expression and international solidarity. Speakers will discuss the various creative methods and practices employed by local, national and international nonviolent movements that aim to resist the Israeli occupation and produce a true and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
