For the ninth consecutive year, NSWAS youth participated in in a three-week intercultural youth leadership program at the Artsbridge Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
Nadine Nashef and Karin Shbeta used their experience and knowledge as youth leaders at the Nadi to help guide 30 Israeli, Palestinian and American participants through an inten-sive leadership program aimed at building partnerships and overcoming cultural differ-ences.
Using art and open dialogue, the program challenges preconceived notions of cul-ture, religion and friendship.
“We had in mind a small village composed of inhabitants from different communities in the country. Jews, Christians, and Muslims would live there in peace, each one faithful to his own faith and traditions, while respecting those of the others. Each would find in this diversity a source of personal enrichment.” Father Bruno Hussar
