8 Highlights for 2018

2018 presented many challenges to our work, but we still have much to celebrate and to be thankful for. Here are 8 victories you helped us accomplish for peace and reconciliation this past year:

352 Dialogue Meetings for 7,400 Israelis, Palestinians, and internationals in Israel and Palestine

Facilitator training for Israeli and Palestinian female members, with 12 dialogue meetings led solely by new women facilitators

Peace leadership capacity-building for 54 bereaved Israeli and Palestinian members and program alumni, including Hebrew and Arabic language lessons, creative thinking tools for designing joint projects, and project planning skills

A five-day summer youth program for 30 Israeli and Palestinian Youth

The Young Ambassadors for Peace program completed its first year of leadership training for bereaved Israeli and Palestinian youth, concluding in the #Hope4Change photo exhibition

A cohort of Parallel Narrative Experience participants visiting Yad Vashem

The Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony, held on April 17th and attended by over 7,000 Israelis and Palestinians

American Friends of the Parents Circle - Families Forum led its first Narrative Study Tour, brining a delegation to explore narratives of Israelis and Palestinians and visit the projects of the Parents Circle

All of these accomplishments could not have been possible without the help of supporters like you.

Our work will face even greater challenges in 2019. The Trump administration’s cuts to peacebuilding funds for the West Bank severely threaten many of our most important programs.
