One Israeli and One Palestinian, Speaking Together

Personal storytelling in direct, unscripted conversation with students shifts the Israel and Palestine conflict towards the lives of real people rather than being defined by headlines and rhetoric.

Our speakers don’t share the same narrative or always agree. Instead, students witness two people with deeply different perspectives engage one another without dehumanization.

What is a PeaceWorks On Campus Event?

We bring Israeli and Palestinian peacebuilders to campuses nationwide, creating space for meaningful, dialogue-driven learning experiences to students preparing for careers in government, policy, and public service.

The Challenge

Campus conversations about Israel and Palestine too often divide students into echo chambers where they rarely engage with perspectives other than their own.

Our Approach

One Israeli and one Palestinian speaker, both committed to coexistence, engage students in open, unscripted conversation, offering a human connection to the conflict and nuanced understanding of peacebuilding.

  • "It was great to be in an environment of respectful, thoughtful, knowledgeable dialogue on such a contentious issue. Everyone who I spoke to was there to listen to different points of view and learn from one another."

    Nathan, Middlebury College

  • "What’s impressed me most is the caliber of speakers and content brough to students, every event feels not just informative but genuinely thought-provoking."

    Sheniah, Howard University

  • "I heard from an incredible range of experts from heads of state to those who have experienced the devastating impacts of the conflict firsthand. PeaceWorks takes the human side of Middle East policy education and leadership development... and places it front and center, while treating students as the rising leaders they are with questions and ideas that must be taken seriously."
