Connecting teens to build peace
(The Christian Science Monitor) Seeds of Peace, which has become one of the Middle East’s most recognized peace-building initiatives, is seeking to expand its reach.
The organization sees the maturing graduates of its camp program—more than 5,000 individuals—as an important resource to be tapped as it refines its goals. More than half of these graduates are moving into leadership roles in their respective fields.
The organization now hopes to empower them to transform a wide variety of sectors in conflict areas—from women’s rights to technological innovation. Such progress, say Seeds of Peace officials, is a crucial prerequisite to any comprehensive, sustainable peace.
