Higher Education

For the past 37 years the School for Peace (SFP) at Neve Shalom – Wahat al-Salam (NSWAS) has been working to promote broad scale change towards peace and more humane, egalitarian and just relations between Palestinians and Jews. The School for Peace works with Jewish and Palestinian professional groups, as well as youth, to create a genuine, egalitarian dialogue between the two people. Through workshops, training programs and special projects, the SFP develops participants' awareness of the conflict and their role in it, enabling them to take responsibility to change the present relations between Jews and Palestinians. In addition to its programs inside of Israel, the SFP also develops innovative programs in cooperation with Palestinians from the Palestinian Authority, and is currently one of the few peace organizations running joint programs with Palestinian partner organizations. The SFP has developed special programs for environmentalists, journalists, and educators from both sides of the border. It is currently establishing a peace college that will provide an accredited Master's degree in Conflict Resolution with the University of Massachusetts Boston, USA. To this day, 60,000 Jews and Palestinians have participated in School for Peace programs.
