GNRC Israel is a network of three NGOs that conduct education for peace. Our goal is to create a space where young Jews, Muslim Palestinians and Christian Palestinians (all of Israeli citizenship) can meet. We will be responsible for facilitating these meetings in such a way that the young people can learn about their own identities and the identities of the other groups.

We believe that by empowering all aspects of their group identities (national, cultural, religious and spiritual), we will enable them to communicate better and take responsibility together for creating an egalitarian, just and more peaceful  multi-cultural and multi-religious society in Israel.

Background       Partners     Project: Interfaith Learning and Ethics Education in a Multi-Religious Group in Israel
