Seeds of Peace
ShareThisDialogue SessionsFor 90-minutes each day, Seeds discuss the most painful and divisive issues of their conflict in professionally facilitated dialogue sessions, challenging inherited prejudices with real stories and experiences expressed openly by peers. Trust and understanding is fostered through such dialogue that encourages participants to empathize, communicate effectively, and demonstrate respect without regard to personal differences. |  |
Group ChallengeThe group challenge component of the Seeds of Peace program complements camp life and coexistence programs on a variety of levels. This is a carefully designed series of group activities that combine teamwork skills and individual commitment. Part of this program utilizes the high and low elements of our state of the art ropes course, allowing for a flexible program that is constantly reevaluated and adjusted to meet the needs of the young people as they grow during the Seeds of Peace coexistence program. This program is used to reinforce trust, team-spirit, cooperation and communication, thus forging stronger bonds between dialogue group members. |  |
"We are not idealistic youth with no grasp on the real world, nor do we have unrealistic visions of immediate peace and reconciliation. We are an army of peace-makers who support it because we know the bite of violence, the pain of losing so much."
