This program will help participants gain understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, its impact on neighboring countries, and possibilities for resolution.
This program will also help participants learn through conversation and dialogue
with Israelis and Palestinians and to explore the dynamics of conflict and
examine the fundamentals of conflict resolution. We will also explore the
religious dimensions of conflict and examine models of effective advocacy.
Please see the attached syllabus for more details.
