Two upcoming Perspectives Israel study tours are scheduled for the coming academic year, the first one December 29-30, 2011 and the second on March 22-23, 2012.
Perspectives Israel is a new platform for enabling emerging leaders and activists dealing with the Arab-Israeli conflict to engage with the Jewish-Israeli spectrum of the conflict.
Dealing effectively and constructively with the conflict requires a deep and nuanced understand of the intricate human mosaic surrounding the conflict. Perspectives gives its participants the opportunity to better understand and appreciate the multiple narratives and viewpoints that exist within the Jewish–Israeli spectrum.
Containing a kaleidoscope of viewpoints, Perspectives does not advocate any particular solution to the conflict, but it does promote the values of dialogue, understanding, and empathy along with critical thinking. Participants leave the program with a more nuanced conception of the complex challenges facing Israel and its people and an appreciation of diverse proactive ways in constructively confronting the conflict in their own lives. Perspectives ran its first study tour in March 2010 with 14 students from eight post college Israel study programs.

When does one have the opportunity to cross boundaries and visit a retired IDF officer working for Peace Now, former Gush Katif residents living in caravans, religious and secular settlers, and peace activists living in Sderot – all in the span of 36 hours?
Perspectives Israel offers this opportunity to post college students studying in Israel, in the form of an interactive two day program focusing on the stories and narratives of the people one meets. Read more about Perspectives here.

“I found the speakers to be very powerful and to represent a myriad of different views. Each and every one of the speakers said something that challenged me and something that I sympathized with” Lilach, Dorot Fellow
