Windows For Peace UK has recently produced a lively new resource pack for facilitators working with young people from Muslim, Palestinian, Arab and Jewish backgrounds. Its activities are designed to promote dialogue between young people between 15 and 21, focussing on the situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. It was written by young people, youth workers and adults from the different communities and, at the launch (pictured) in Manchester, some of those involved presented the pack. |
Copies of the pack are available for £12.50 plus £1.25 p & p for all orders by purchase order; 10% reduction for 5 or more. Only £10 plus £1.25 p&p for orders paid for by cheque or cash. |

| Leading Jerusalem Inter Faith Activist in London | |
 |
The main obstacle to inter faith dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians in the region is the physical impossibility of meeting together. One of the leading figures in inter faith work, Rabbi Dr Ron Kronish, Director of the Inter Religious Co-ordinating Council of Israel, addresses this through a range of programmes involving Muslims and Christians (mostly from East Jerusalem) and Jews. The work includes women’s groups and young people’s projects, and also provides briefings for a range of groups from abroad. |
