Crossing Divides: Solutions for Peace
Could attempts to bring ordinary Israelis and Palestinians together be more successful in solving an apparently endless conflict than talks between politicians?
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Hacks travels to Israel and the Palestinian Territories for a special programme for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Crossing Divides season. Could attempts to bring ordinary Israelis and Palestinians together be more successful in solving an apparently endless conflict than talks between politicians? We’ll visit the women behind an unusual fashion brand, the school designed to bring two communities together, the ordinary people trying to negotiate their own peace agreement, and explore how the ancient game of backgammon might help bridge divides. Can grassroots initiatives like these really have a meaningful influence?
