Seeds of Peace

Daniel N. Moses

Director of Delegation Leaders Program

During the last days of the Cold War, when Moses was fifteen, he gave a talk at the annual Conference of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Association, in New York, about the experience of a teenager growing up under the threat of nuclear war. While finishing a Ph.D. in American history, Moses worked as a Civic Education Project Fellow at universities on the other side of what used to be the Iron Curtain--in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Working in a conflict region, with people in conflict, after 9/11, inspired him to contact Seeds of Peace. He asked to work as a facilitator, as a counselor, in the kitchen or in any other capacity. Because of this persistence, he was invited up to camp in the summer of 2003. In the following years, he worked as a summer coordinator of the Delegation Leaders Program. Meanwhile, from 2002-2005, Moses was a Lecturer on Social Studies at Harvard University. For the 2005/2006 academic year, he was a Fellow at the Harvard School of Education.  In June 2006, Moses became Director of the Delegation Leaders Program. He lives in Jerusalem and spends the summers at the Seeds of Peace camp in Otisfield, Maine.
