Call for Applications: Summer Experiential Learning
Program for Palestinian, Jewish, and Israeli Students
Program Dates: June 27 ? July 23, 2007
Application Deadline: January 15th, 2007
The Vision Program is currently considering
applications from Jewish, Palestinian, and Israeli
college students (irrespective of citizenship) for a
4-week experiential learning trip to the former
Yugoslavia . The program is partially funded but
opportunities for full funding are available.
Traveling together in Serbia , Kosovo, and
Bosnia-Herzegovina, students will engage in an
intensive comparative conflict analysis program that
educates them about the Balkan wars of the 1990s,
explores analytical connections with the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and allows students to
reflect on their own relationship to both conflicts as
well as to one another.
This program is unique in several ways:
(1) It represents a commitment to equal
participation of Jewish and Palestinian staff and
students.
(2) It combines both academic and personal
engagement with conflict-related issues such as
nationalism, violence/nonviolence, and power dynamics.
(3) If admitted, no student will be denied
participation based on financial limitations..
We are accepting applications from all undergraduate
students who identify as Palestinian and/or Jewish and
are attending schools in the United States .
For questions or more information, please contact one
of the Vision Program Co-Directors Ziad Abu-Rish (
ziad@abrahamsvision.org) and Orli Fridman
(orli@abrahamsvision.org).
