Middle East: Building Hope in Times of War
Violence in the Middle East has increased dramatically in the last year with the attacks of 7 October 2023 and the ongoing war in Gaza, Lebanon and Israel. The civilian population is suffering. The work of our partner organisations has also been extremely difficult over the past year. What can peace work look like in times like these? We would like to discuss this in an online event series with four of our partner organisations from Israel and Palestine. We will also hear from activists in Lebanon sharing personal and professional reflections on how the war in Lebanon has impacted the lives of people. We warmly invite you to join us!
