For a Glimpse at the Future of Peacebuilding, Look to an Experiment Begun a Decade Ago
When we were both 14, our Israeli and Palestinian parents and teachers enrolled us in a massive, life-altering experiment, the effects of which are still playing out, over a decade later. The experiment, conducted in two dozen countries by an organization called Seeds of Peace, began with a question: what type of impact could you have on young people from opposite sides of intractable conflict if you gave them the time and space to get to know each other? Most importantly, would we be inspired by this transformational experience as teenagers to work for change as adults -- to influence our societies and help create the conditions essential to peace? For the first time, we're offering an ad-free experience to qualifying contributors who support our fearless newsroom. Seeds of Peace, having successfully invested in thousands of teenagers, is now investing in their ideas and projects as adult changemakers, and last week launched two new fellowship programs at the Clinton Global Initiative in Marrakech to accelerate our ability to create the conditions necessary for peace.
