Enabling all peoples to communicate with each otherTo pave the way for justice and peace and to work for the rights of the oppressed, the poor and the marginalized in society. Study DaysWe believe that "Study Days" are a good occasion for scholars, religious leader, youth, educators, and students, to meet and discuss together in a democratic atmosphere some of the current and important cultural and religious issues, such as dialogue, the peace process, democracy, identity, contextual theology, and cultural and social problems. The idea is to have one specific subject for each study day and to ask two or three people to write their reflections on it. We will then distribute the reflections to the participants one week before, in order to for them to be well prepared. Their contribution will enrich the discussed subject. These study days will create friendship between the participants and develop better relations and understanding. These study days have been an important experience over the last ten years .They are essential because we are living in an area that is witnessing endeavors to establish a long and comprehensive peace. In 2006 we are going to organize four study days: two in Galilee/Israel and two in Palestine.
