Back on track again, the School for Peace is making history by resuming regional forums for SFP graduates and another for state led planning to end the occupation. In January, the SFP, in cooperation with The Arab Center for Alternative Planning, opened a year-long program for 30 urban planners, architects, and civil engineers that will meet once a month creating a strong base of professionals dedicated to responsible city development. In addition, this month the SFP opened its doors to 31 leaders from 6 different mixed cities in Israel in order to create cooperative and peaceful movements for community organizations in tension ridden areas.
Soon to come, the School for Peace is planning to open 2 courses, 1 on the Ramat-Gan campus and another in Beer Sheva for 40 Arab & Jewish students to participate from March to May. Also in the works, the SFP is organizing a group of 50 women for a weekend workshop in May and another facilitator course to help guide future programs.
Ongoing program evaluations help the SFP stay focused on supporting programs that respond appropriately to identified needs of target communities that are in positions to create change. Your support for the School for Peace makes possible these life-changing programs for future Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
