The Peres Center for Peace has launched the "600 Goals, One Peace" Campaign that brings Palestinian and Israeli children together in a safe, healthy, and fun environment. This is your chance to ensure the continuation of the longest running coexistence youth sport project in the Middle East.
Launched in 2002, the Twinned Peace Sport Schools program annually engages 1,500-2,000
children aged 6-14 from twinned communities in Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
In each locality, the Peres Center and Al Quds Association for Democracy and Dialogue establishes
a football or basketball school, provides the children with weekly sports training, peace education activities and inter-language learning. The children meet with their twinned school for monthly joint Palestinian-Israeli activities and other special events.
600 Palestinian & Israeli children urgently need YOUR help in order to participate in the program this coming school year. Click here to view the campaign and make a difference to the future generation of leaders in the Middle East.
