Musalaha Youth Group

Due to the remarkable rise of radical religious groups, and tensions among local communities in the Middle East region, there is a great need for the next generation to take an active role in positively impacting their society towards peace and tolerance. Therefore, Musalaha and IU took the initiative years ago and are continuing to build religious bridges between Muslim and Christian youth in the Palestinian society. In this project it will be accomplished through an educational program that will create a youth group and empowering at least 30 Muslim and Christian youth leaders from Palestine and equip them to become advocates of peace and conflict resolution in their local communities. The youth group will be meeting together, learning, sharing and finally conducting a serie of outreaches targeting at least 300 school children in the Bethlehem area to spread what they have learnt during this two years project; The group will be supported by a Palestinian core committee and a Danish steering committee.
