Peace in Our Schools is a project that enhances interfaith dialogue on the youth level through education. This unique program, led by Jewish and Muslim peacebuilders, introduces the ideas of peace and tolerance through lectures and workshops on emotions, peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and interfaith dialogue.
