May/June 2009 Delegation to Israel/Palestine

Voices of the Peace-Builders

May 22 - June 4, 2009

This delegation will explore Palestinian and Israeli efforts to achieve peace and a resolution to their conflict based on justice. The delegation will feature meetings with Palestinian and Israeli peacemakers – leaders of civil society groups, grassroots organizers, religious leaders and more. May also marks the annual recognition of Israel’s independence and the Palestinian Nakba (Catastrophe) and the birth of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A special emphasis will include meetings and tours addressing this history.

Delegation cost is $2050 which includes 13 days, hotel and home stay accommodations, breakfasts and dinners, guides, local transportation, speaker and event fees, basic tips and gratuities, and sustained support upon your return.

The cost does not include domestic and international airfares. Apply early to lock in low fares!
