A peace educational project involving Israel, Palestine ,Germany and Eastern Europe
Since 1999 the Building Bridges project achieve years of intensive activity. During that time fifteen delegations of students,educators and parents from Israel, the West Bank, Poland and Germany have visited one other.
Our aim is to expand our work and get the support we need to reach our targets which are as follows:
1. Regular meetings in order to learn about each other’s culture, history, religion and way of life.
2. Special attention to a democratic way of treating each other.
3. Main focus on German, Jewish and Arab history in order to learn about our tracks from history.
4. Cautious treatment of history: talking to Holocaust survivors as well as the succeeding generations should improve our understanding of history, thus supporting the development of democratic behaviour.
5. The Middle-East conflict as a topic requiring our understanding for all parties involved.
6. Training in democratic principles and non-violent solutions of conflicts as an essential part of our work.
7. Work at concrete and remaining projects.
8. . Building Bridges is rooted in the direct exchange between Germans, Israelis and Palestinians in 1999, therefore we strive for trilateral and multilateral relations between the Middle East - Europeans and other international partnerships.
