LAHORE | 26 Pakistani Seeds, Educators and their friends spent three days in Kashmir from May 27-29.
None of the participants had been to the territory before, and the trip allowed them to better understand the political dynamics in the region and get the perspectives of local Kashmiris.
“Seeds had a wonderful time in exploring new things and depth in the conversations talking to local people,” said Director of Pakistani Programs Imran Khan.
For many Seeds, the experience of meeting was eye-opening.
“The trip gave us an opportunity to have an insight about the Kashmiri narrative of the Kashmir issue, and socio-political dynamics of Pakistan administered Kashmir,” said Talha, a 2013 Seed.
“It is very important to understand the people of a region before understanding their issues.”
Seeds of Peace partnered with the Youth and Peace Organization of Kashmir to run the visit.
