Treaties are negotiated by governments.Peace is made by people. Seeds of Peace is doing what no government can.

It is sowing the seeds of peace among the next generation of leaders.

It is educating them to develop empathy, respect and confidence.

It is equipping them with communication and negotiation skills.

It is enabling them to see the human face of their enemies.

By empowering them to emerge as tomorrow's leaders,

Seeds of Peace is working to forge the personal relations so critical

to peacemaking and reconciliation.

past summer, we maintained continuousprogramming in the region for recentSeeds of Peace graduates while hostingthree successful sessions at the Seeds ofPeace International Camp in Maine. InOctober, we brought more than 120Seeds graduates from four conflict areastogether for the Breaking News, MakingHeadlines International Youth Confer-ence in New York City. No other organi-zation can do such amazing work of thiskind.

As I reflect on my first year atSeeds of Peace, I realize howmuch we have achieved but also

how much remains to be done. I havebeen struck these many months by thecritical importance and the uniquenature of what we do in several respects.

First, after working for close to 25 yearsin the world of conventional diplomacy, I am convinced that the approachembodied by Seeds of Peace is critical topeace-making–whether it’s Arab-Israeli,Indian-Pakistani, Greek-Turkish, or rela-tions throughout the Balkans.

Negotiations, as governments pursuethem, are transactional in character –based on calculations rooted in nationaland political interests. This is as it shouldbe. But it is insufficient to achieve any-thing remotely resembling real peace.

What Seeds of Peace does is based ontransformational diplomacy: changingthe perceptions and attitudes of individ-uals through personal relationships.Transactional diplomacy can producepolitical agreements, but not peace orreconciliation. Transactional diplomacycombined with transformational diplo-macy can achieve both.

That is why the work of Seeds of Peaceis so critical. During 2003, the Seeds ofPeace Center for Coexistence inJerusalem ran weekly programs for hun-dreds of Israelis and Palestinians. This

SESAME WORKSHOP: SESAME SEEDS

Seeds of Peace and Sesame Workshop are now partnering to create “Sesame Seeds,” basedon Sesame Stories, a regional project involving three parallel television series and outreachinitiatives created by Sesame Workshop and their Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian local pro-duction partners.

Those graduates selected to be part of the Sesame Seeds program will serve as kindergartenclassroom facilitators – extending their commitment to the values taught at Seeds of Peace by promoting the SesameStories message of respect and tolerance. Working together with Sesame Workshop and the locally-based SesameStories outreach partners, Seeds of Peace will train a cadre of its Palestinian and Israeli graduates as informal edu-cators who, through activities and interactive projects, will work with young children in classrooms to reinforce thecore educational goals of the Israeli and Palestinian television series and outreach materials. A similar project isplanned in Jordan.

THE DANIEL PEARL FOUNDATION: MEDIA INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The Daniel Pearl Foundation Media Internship Program will provide three-month internships inprofessional media organizations in the Middle East for five Israeli and five Palestinian graduatesof Seeds of Peace interested in pursuing careers in journalism. This program is a part of the Seedsof Peace Media Initiative and is designed to foster the next generation of Middle Eastern jour-

nalists by giving them knowledge and practical experience through a meaningful internship in journalism; encour-age the media to help de-escalate the conflict and eliminate the negative stereotypes and inflammatory rhetoric;build on the media skills taught to Seeds of Peace graduates through media courses and seminars at the Center forCoexistence in Jerusalem and at the Breaking News, Making Headlines International Youth Conference that washeld in New York City in October 2003.

REFLECTIONS ON SEEDS OF PEACE, 2003

Second, Seeds is about empoweringthousands of young leaders in all facetsof society to lead and to prepare for thefuture. If one percent of almost 2,500young people who have been throughour program in the last decade emergeas real leaders–in education, in industry,in journalism, in law and of course, inthe political arena–the contours of theseconflicts could be permanently alteredfor the better.

This notion of leadership training is crit-ical. In the Middle East, public opinionhas rarely been able to create real con-

stituencies for change. Breakthroughshave always resulted from leaders get-ting out in front of their publics. Noother organization is training young peo-ple for this role.

Third, for Seeds to develop and increaseits impact, we need access to moreyoung people, more programming in theregion, and more focus on substantiveprograms. As our Seeds mature past thecamp years (ages 14 to 16) they hunger

for training that will help them attainprofessional skills. Seeds of Peace nowtracks its graduates from entry into campthrough their mid-twenties.

Indeed, the best response to the often-asked question “Does Seeds of Peacework?” is to help these young profes-sionals make their mark, today and inthe future. Our new partnership withSesame Workshop will train our olderSeeds to perform coexistence work inkindergartens. Media internships, co-sponsored with the Daniel PearlFoundation, will nurture appreciation

for a free press. These initiatives notonly prepare Seeds of Peace graduatesfor future leadership positions, but putthese teenagers in immediate positionsto influence the attitudes of their peers,communities, and governments.

Fourth, we must continue to innovate.New initiatives will be critical in 2004.These initiatives include: creating a tar-geted program for our age-18-and-olderIsraeli and Palestinian Seeds out of the

Center for Coexistence in Jerusalem;and an exciting new Arab and Americandialogue for camp’s third session bring-ing young Arabs (Iraqi, Kuwaiti, Saudi,Yemeni, Egyptian and Jordanian)together with a cross-section of youngAmericans.

"By coming to Seeds of Peace, I have seen what is going on outside my world. By hearing people's stories and experience I have felt that my horizon has broadened. Now I have the strength and hope to think about my future." - Afghan Seed

Letters from SeedsGraduates

Upon returning home from the Seeds of Peace International Camp, I didn’t seemyself as an “Ambassador of Peace,” despite the certificate I had received.

My involvement in Seeds of Peace inspired my parents to invite all the parents ofSeeds living locally to our house for dinner. This meeting turned out to be the first ofmany, and thus the “Parents of Seeds” forum was created. Now it’s my mom whocomes home frustrated, yet exhilarated, after a difficult “coexistence” dinner. Herfeelings are not very different from any first-year camper’s feelings.

Through the years, my commitment and belief in Seeds of Peace grew, but I stillnever felt like an Ambassador.

On a recent visit to the United States, I arrived knowing it would be my last chanceto travel for the next three years, as I would soon be joining the army. With this inmind, I decided to make the best of my time and pursue what is important andmeaningful. I didn’t want to just shop or lie on the beach. I had a personal need tofulfill, a compelling force to spread the Seeds of Peace message and reach out to mysurroundings. This is when I found the Ambassador in me.

Imagine this: I, a fair-skinned, young blonde, with little terrorist potential, was pulledaside by airport security. My wristwatch might have been the culprit, but I wasuncomfortable just the same. To overcome my awkwardness in this situation, I struckup a conversation with the security agent. Her metal detector hung limply from herhand and her mouth fell open as she listened to my description of far-off worlds,where people die in bombings, girls must go to the army, occupation is a reality, andfor me, so is having Arab friends.

Speaking to a Stanford University professor gave me another perspective–one of ahardened and weathered man whose skepticism in Seeds of Peace was quite obvious.As I told him of our joint celebration of Christmas, Ramadan and Hanukah, I couldsee his tough exterior cracking.

These encounters left me reassessing my role as a Seed. Being able to reach thesevaried individuals and tell them about my experience at Seeds of Peace gave me afeeling of fulfillment like never before. I created these opportunities out of a personalneed, something deep inside calling me to speak up. I was taking charge of creatingmy own character.

As I turn 18, a new and challenging future awaits me. I am now in the Israeli AirForce Intelligence unit of the Israeli Defense Force. I am surrounded by people fromall sectors of the Jewish community, with varied opinions and points of view. But,Seeds of Peace has fully equipped me with the tools of communication, humaniza-tion and open-mindedness so that while I am here, I can make a difference.

The “Ambassador of Peace” certificate that I received at camp didn’t make me anAmbassador. Only I could do that. While only our leaders can sign peace treaties, inorder to make them work, people on both sides must join them. I know I can say onmy behalf and on the behalf of all the Seeds of Peace–count us in!

I’ve come to learn that Ambassadors don’t have to be diplomats working behindclosed doors. Ambassadors can also be you and me.

Sincerely,

Orly Bogler, Haifa

CELEBRATING THE MAGIC OF SEEDS OF PEACEINTERNATIONAL CAMP

Seeds of Peace International Camp cel-ebrated its 11th summer with three ses-sions that included more than 450 youthfrom the Middle East, Balkans, Cyprus,India and Pakistan, Afghanistan andfrom diverse communities in the UnitedStates. Like the 2,000-plus Seeds whoattended before them, these youngstersshared the magic of camp and the powerof the Maine woods.

Treasured for its natural beauty, individ-ual freedoms and sheer fun, camp waseven more invaluable due to what tran-spired on site every day. Each morning,youngsters from intense regions of con-flict woke up next to their putative ene-mies–teenagers just like them, but rep-resenting the other side of their conflict.Together these youth braved the coldMaine mornings and faced the day–eating together, laughing together andsharing activities together.

Daily, these youngsters sat side-by-sideand discussed what divides them backhome. In 90 minute sessions, Seeds tack-led the toughest, most sensitive issuesand sought common ground to createelements of understanding. It is a pow-erful process–getting to know yourenemy – and one that can only happen inthe neutral and supportive environmentthat the Seeds of Peace InternationalCamp provides. Last summer, with worldconflicts so intense, the coexistence pro-gram was difficult, yet important.“Opening our hearts to one another waslike pulling teeth,” said Yosi, a second-year Israeli camper, “but we did it.”

“There's no place like camp,” said Tala, afirst-year camper from the Palestiniandelegation which, for the first time inthree years, included teenagers fromtowns throughout the West Bank. “It’s aplace where all people are equal, despitetheir surface attributes.” Tala tells of thewonderful friendships she developed,but does not forget how tough the initialdecision was to attend. “Before going tocamp, many people discouraged me andthought it was nonsense to go to a campand discuss peace and coexistence withthe other side, but I followed my heart,and went there. I'm glad I did. I hope togo to camp once again, because itchanged my life, and, of course, thatchange was a good and beneficial one.”

Participants developed personalstrengths to parallel their coexistence

BEYOND BORDERS: ARABS AND AMERICANS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

In the wake of September 11th and the recent war in Iraq, the divide betweenthe United States and the Arab/Muslim world has grown wider; the need forgreater dialogue, understanding and communication has never been more critical.

In 2004, Seeds of Peace will launch a groundbreaking exchange program tocreate an environment for honest and constructive dialogue between Arabs andAmericans. Sixty teenagers and twenty adults from across the United States andthe Arab world, including Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen, Egypt, andJordan, will meet for the first time for a two-week session at the Seeds of PeaceInternational Camp in Maine. In Spring 2005, they will reconvene in Jordan fora week of intensive dialogue sessions, leadership training, and continuedactivism. Seeds of Peace is uniquely positioned to foster the understanding,cooperation, and collaboration required to realize shared goals of stability andprosperity.

experiences. Sports, water activities,meals and trips to the Seadogs baseballgame allowed campers to pursue indi-vidual challenges while experiencingnew things together. “Seeds of Peacetaught me that in order to achieve thegreatest things you need to take thebiggest risks,” said Israeli Seed, Mirit.“And I'm not afraid to take those risksnow.”

As always, each session concluded withthree days of Color Games. Campersdivided into two teams – blue and green –and competed in everything from soccerto cooking, waterskiing to art. Throughsuch activities, the idea of humanizingthe enemy crystallized. Teamwork,cooperation and communication over-rode national, political or religious iden-tity. Blue and green were the only iden-tities that mattered.

Going home is never easy, but theachievements of camp are not forgotten.Shanoor, an Indian delegate, summed itup best: “Often I'd walk away from coex-istence, my mind swimming in frustra-tion as I tried to balance patriotism witha desire for peace. Ultimately I realizedthat peace and compromise go hand-in-hand, and if we want a better future, thefirst step has to be ours. When camp wasover, I prepared to return to the realworld, a place filled with war, agony andhatred. But a new hope glowed insideme. I hated the fact that this was theend, but now I realize that this is not theend. It is not even the beginning of theend–but it is perhaps the end of thebeginning.”

Younger Israeli and Palestinian Seedsmade joint presentations in theirschools, offering hundreds of their peersthe chance to meet someone from theother side. “For me, Seeds of Peace isabout persuading other people, whohaven’t been to camp, that there is a dif-ferent way than the present way of relat-ing to the other. I decided to try by invit-ing Arab Seeds to join me and give apresentation to the ninth grade at myschool. After the presentation, dozens ofstudents rushed up on the stage to talkto the Arab Seeds face-to-face, and toask how they could be selected to cometo camp. We felt the excitement in theair. I had hoped that this presentationwould change something in their minds,and it did,” said Adir, an Israeli Seed.

More than 500 Seeds, friends and fami-ly members from Israel, the West Bankand Gaza met at the largest Center pro-gram of last summer. From communityservice projects, to exploring Jerusalem,to a huge end of season celebration,“Summer @ the Center” was remarkablein every way. Israelis and Palestiniansgained a rare opportunity to see the citytogether, through the eyes of Jews,Muslims and Christians. Seeds andfriends from Tulkarem, Afula, Nablus,Haifa, Jerusalem, Jericho, Ashdod,Ramallah, Tel Aviv, and Beit Jala experi-enced something they never knew waspossible–a day of friendship, fun andmeaningful dialogue with those they hadonly known as “the enemy.”

Community activism drew 55 Palestin-ian Seeds, from the West Bank andGaza, to the Jericho Resort Village for aweekend workshop. Along with a groupof speakers, including Sa'eb Erekat,Palestinian Authority Minister of LocalGovernment and Chief Negotiator,

At the Center for Coexistence inJerusalem, the leadership training andpeace-building processes that began atcamp continue and take root at home. In2003, 500 Palestinian and Israeli Seeds,friends, and families participated in pro-grams at the Center designed toenhance their leadership potential andspread the message of Seeds of Peace inthe region. Their participation was evenmore poignant due to challenges fromtheir own communities and from therisks of travel.

Israeli and Palestinian Seeds who werecampers between 1993 and 1999 partic-ipated for the first time in a course innegotiation and mediation. Professionalmediation training was conducted byJerusalem’s Mediation and ConflictResolution Institute. The twenty adultSeeds are now using their skills for vol-unteer work in schools, with youngerSeeds in their dialogue sessions, and intheir own work-related organizations.“The position people take or argue aboutis sometimes different from their trueinterests. Arguments can sometimes besolved if they are made aware of that.The course taught me how to try to helppeople solve their problems by them-selves,” said Kherellah, a PalestinianSeed.

GRADUATE PROGRAM TAILORED TOWARDS OLDER SEEDS

In 2004, Seeds of Peace will launch the Graduate Program to encourageSeeds 18-and-over to reconnect to the community of adult Seeds by givingthem the opportunity to help shape the program and vision of the organiza-tion. The Graduate Program empowers Seeds alumni to use their particularprofession, talents and resources to continue to work together on joint proj-ects based at the Center for Coexistence. The goal is to equip the Seeds towork inside their own societies to build a better community; develop newand concrete skills needed for leadership in this region; and be a leader inthe Seeds of Peace organization itself, serving as an example of growth dur-ing the life-time journey of a Seed, and as a role model to younger Seeds.

L O O K I N G A H E A D

The Olive Branch, a magazine writtenand produced by Seeds of Peace gradu-ates, has been praised by students andteachers from around the world. Said oneteacher, “In this magazine, teenagersexpress themselves freely, without limitsand discuss sensitive issues.” Anothercommented, “I'm fascinated by whatyou present in this magazine. The OliveBranch is an informative resource thatteachers can use successfully.”

“I retrieved my Seeds spirit.Each night we stayed up late;Arabs and Jews, singingsongs, telling jokes, tellingstories.”

Seeds participated in a seminar entitled"Making a Difference" in order toexplore practical ways to help their com-munities. Following the discussions, theIsraeli Seeds traveled to the economical-ly depressed town of Dimona wherethey helped paint and fix the homes ofstruggling residents while thePalestinian Seeds traveled to Jericho tovolunteer in a refugee camp school andlead activities for the students.

Seeds from all over Israel, the WestBank and Gaza addressed importantissues about the press in a MediaSeminar held at Wahat al Salaam/NeveShalom. Through panel discussions, lec-tures and small group workshops withleading Arab and Israeli journalists, sixtySeeds were exposed to a variety of pointsof view, asked challenging questions, anddiscussed issues intensely.

Cultural celebrations provided informalopportunities for contact, communica-

tion, and understanding among theSeeds’ parents and families. Parents ofSeeds began holding their own “coexis-tence sessions” last May. Two groups ofPalestinian and Israeli Seed parents nowmeet monthly to engage in intensive dia-logue and discover the common bondsthey share as parents and individuals.Said one mother, “I feel that the more Ihear and argue about the conflictingsubjects that brought our people, Arabsand Jews, to sad and difficult times, themore anxious I am to meet my newfriends again and continue our talk.”

The year 2003 ended with 160 Israeliand Palestinian Seeds gathering for amarathon coexistence seminar. Their reg-ular “advanced groups” met intensivelyover a 36-hour period, holding dialoguesessions, planning and preparing com-munity projects and teaching each otherArabic and Hebrew. “This Marathon wasthe living proof of how Seeds of Peace’sregional program has expanded,” saidIsraeli Seed, Yaniv. “The Marathonraised a number of difficult issues thatwe need to struggle with to make Seedsof Peace as great as it can be.”

Political uncertainty in Cyprus limitedCypriot, (Greek and Turkish) participa-tion to 12 campers who returned foradvanced leadership training.

These youngsters arrived in Mainebuoyed by partial-border openings onCyprus that generated a heightenedgrasp of coexistence training and its role.They were effective leaders to all newcampers and creative in developing coex-istence opportunities among themselves.

“Propaganda and prejudice are thethings we need to fight so that we getmore allies, not for a war, but for a move-ment that will play a vital role on the suc-cession in achieving internationalpeace,” said one Greek Cypriot Seed.

“I learned to listen and understand theother side’s pains, expectations, wish-es…after learning to listen I found theproblems aren’t as big as they werebefore,” said a Turkish Cypriot Seed.

For the third consecutive year, Seeds ofPeace, with support from the U.S.Department of State, brought 12 Indianand 12 Pakistani Seeds, and twoDelegation Leaders to Maine.

While the 2003 Indian and PakistaniSeeds were in Maine, Seeds from 2001and 2002 were preparing for the trip of alifetime back home. After years ofincreased tension on the subcontinent,the Indian and Pakistani Seeds tookadvantage of a new détente in the regionto see their camp friends. On August 12,

The 13-hour bus ride was filledwith Seeds of Peace stories and songs.The closer the bus got to the Wagah bor-der, the more the excitement mounted.The group brought cameras to docu-ment the journey, a momentous occa-sion that all wanted to capture on film.

In Lahore, the Indian Seeds stayed withfamilies of Pakistani Seeds. For threedays, Pakistani hosts escorted theirIndian guests to local schools, museums,and historical sites and, of course, playedthe unavoidable cricket match. As thegroup gathered to catch the bus back toIndia, their sadness was tangible. TiredSeeds said goodbye to each other,already planning for the next trip thatwould take the Pakistani Seeds to India.There were some tears, but as one of theSeeds wrote to SeedsNet, the Seeds ofPeace private listserv that afternoon:“Words can’t describe how empty every-thing around seems. Someone once saidthat it’s only when people leave that yourealize how much you love them–Iknow I loved all of them the moment Isaw them again, and many for the firsttime, but now I also realize how trulyimportant they are to me.”

The trauma of growing up in an environ-ment of oppression and violence was afocus for the nine Afghan youth whoattended camp in 2003. The four maleand five female Seeds discussed selfempowerment, gender equality andways to bridge the sharp ethnic divisionsthat threaten their country.

Following camp, the Afghan graduatesare now meeting in their home commu-nity to explore ways to spread the mes-sage of hope and non-violent conflict

resolution they acquired in Maine.

In December, six Afghan Seeds werepart of a broadcast on “America Abroad”heard on National Public Radio. SaidMujib, “If we want to make our countrybetter we need to work very hard, weneed to be prepared; these are thethings Seeds of Peace gave us.”

Support for the Afghan program is madepossible through a grant from the U.S.Department of State.

Where I come from, the enemy had a face, the enemy had a dream, and theenemy had a name. All my life, this enemy was rude, stubborn, and aggressivetowards me. My enemy drove in cars with yellow license plates, was always nervouswhen my friends and I were nearby speaking in Arabic, and for those of you whohave driven in the West Bank, my enemy never flashed his lights after havingpassed the police on the highway.

Growing up in Nablus, I was hardly in contact with Israeli civilians. During theFirst Intifada, I was beaten up on several occasions and lived in fear. During theSecond Intifada, I lost two of my friends, one of them a Seed. At checkpoints, oras we refer to them, makhsooms, the only thing that went through my mind was:“Why are they doing this to us?”

Eight years ago, I went to the Seeds of Peace International Camp. I was surprisedto realize I knew more about my enemy than I had expected. I understood a con-versation of two Israelis in Hebrew better than I understood two Moroccans speak-ing in Arabic. I began to put a different face and name to my enemy. Now, thisenemy was Moran from Afula, Yacob from Tel Aviv, and Malvina from Ashdod. Ifinally spoke to Israelis who dressed in civilian clothes, and boy, they looked good!

Throughout our history, we have only known each other in the battlefield. Ourfathers and grandfathers may have encountered each other in the war zone holdingguns, setting off explosives, and firing live ammunition. So far, we have successful-ly dismissed each other from our lives and have labeled them as the Jews or Arabs.With all the blood that we have spilled, very few of us have managed to recognizethat this is not a way of living.

Just a few weeks ago, my mother told me that she prayed every night that mychildren may live in peace. Has she given up on those living right now? Has shestopped praying for me? No, she hasn’t, but she has found a more realistic prayerto recite for me: May God keep me alive.

For the past eight years, I have had the dilemma of finding a connection betweenthe ideals of Seeds of Peace and the actual situation on the ground. I have wrestled with the pursuit of peace in the face of feelings of betrayal and injuredpride. How can I go to camp with Israelis, eat with them at the same table, sleepunder the same roof and still consider myself a genuine, faithful Palestinian? I ama proud Palestinian.

Still, I have come to realize that only non-violent means will achieve the peace weall desire. Communication is our tool. We have to keep bridging the gap betweenus through social gatherings, dialogue workshops, and joint projects. As we worktogether, friendships grow and violence becomes an unacceptable option. It is onlythrough our communication and struggle together, that we will establish trust andrespect for each other. For starters, let’s all aim to at least humanize the otherside. At Seeds of Peace, we have started this long and painful process.We understand how it feels to be in the other side’s shoes. We are working for a brighter future, not only for our children and grandchildren, but also for our parents and ourselves.

Seeds of Peace is not just an organization. It is an education for life.

Sincerely,

Ibrahim Khader, Nablus

Education ProgramInternational Youth ConferenceDelegation Leaders

Dozens of distinguished journalists, editors, academics, and corporate execu-tives gathered in New York in Octoberfor a six-day Seeds of Peace Youth conference. They addressed an interna-tional delegation of 120 Seeds, helpingthem learn how to use the media in conflict areas to voice their own messageof understanding and coexistence.

The remarkable conference, BreakingNews, Making Headlines: The Role of theMedia in Conflict Regions enabled Seedsgraduates to devise their own productsto be published in media outlets world-wide. Each Seed was assigned to one often workshops with the task of creating aspecific media product, such as produc-ing an edited television or radio seg-ment; a feature magazine or newspaperstory; an opinion or editorial piece; ayouth public service announcement, aphotojournalism project; political car-toons for the internet; or a public rela-tions package. One group wrote a“Declaration to the Media” which servedas an official conference product and waspresented to Her Majesty Queen Noorof Jordan.

The Education Program makes it possi-ble for Seeds of Peace graduates to con-tinue their leadership training by receiv-ing a quality education, and by partici-pating in seminars and workshopsdesigned to encourage their leadershippotential. There are currently 120 Seedsof Peace graduates studying at presti-gious colleges, universities and prepara-tory schools across the country. Seeds ofPeace is maximizing efforts to providedeserving Seeds alumni substantialfinancial aid directly from schools byassisting the students in the applicationprocess, defraying travel and associatedcosts, and introducing Seeds of Peace toschools around the country. The numberof participating schools increased from 33last year to 47 in 2003, and more schoolshave expressed interest in joining.

In 2003, the Education Program’sGlobal Leadership Initiative hosted thesecond annual Thanksgiving Retreat inLakeville, CT. Seeds Scholars from acrossthe country gathered to discuss ways tobe active in their school communities,and how to support each other as inter-national students. Many of the olderSeeds began to plan for a reunion ofSeeds graduates to be held later this year.

Our Seeds Scholars have made a strongimpact on their campus communities.Mohamad, a Palestinian Seed fromGaza, currently a freshman at LehighUniversity, organized a dialogue eventco-hosted by the Muslim StudentAssociation and the Jewish StudentHillel. He and an Israeli student spokeabout the Arab-Israeli conflict and howit affects their lives. There was an enthu-siastic turnout and both are now collab-orating on the creation of a campus clubfocusing on conflict resolution and coex-istence that will meet regularly.

Karen and Malvina, two Israeli Seedsstudying at Princeton University, invited

Palestinian and Jordanian Seeds alsostudying in the U.S. to a presentationsponsored by the Woodrow WilsonSchool of Public Policy. The Seeds spoketo students, faculty and administratorsabout their experience at Seeds of Peaceand their goals as future leaders.

ADULT LEADERS RECEIVE TRAINING,OBSERVE U.S. INSTITUTIONS

In 1995, Seeds of Peace launched aneducational program for the adults wholead the youth delegations to camp.These adult Delegation Leaders partici-pate in their own coexistence program,which includes three weeks at camp, fol-lowed by workshops and conferences intheir region. To date, over 200 MiddleEast educators and 300 adults overallhave been Delegation Leaders.

At the facility in Maine, the adults, ages30 to 60, become part of a cross-culturalcommunity of professionals who devotetheir camp experience to sharing threehours each day in organized facilitationaimed at sharing personal narratives andpolitical perspectives on their regionalconflicts. Additionally, they participatein advanced communication and media-tion training. One Delegation Leaderreflected on the sessions: “I can now bet-ter understand the impact of violence onboth sides of the conflict. I am not quickto jump to conclusions and less willing toassume that anyone deserves what theygot.”

In the afternoons the adults learn aboutAmerican culture. Their programincludes visits to rural communities andAmerican cities such as Portland,

ME, Boston, MA and Washington, DC.They observe American educational,religious, and political institutions aswell as American home life. Genderequality, cultural diversity, participatorygovernment, separation of church andstate, and educational practices areaddressed in their introduction toAmerican society. Said anotherDelegation Leader, “I got to see a part ofAmerica that is not seen in Americanmovies. I was very impressed with thekindness of all our hosts.” AdultDelegates return to their own schoolsand institutions with an enhancedunderstanding and appreciation of theUnited States and its diversity.

This past year, two workshops were heldfor the adult Delegation Leaders follow-ing their camp experience. DuringWinter 2003, 50 Seeds of Peace educa-tors from the Middle East traveled toSarajevo where they met with theircounterparts from Bosnia and Croatiawho were working to bridge ethnicdivides in the Balkans. One leader fromthe Middle East commented, “If I ever

L E A D E R S H I P | D E L E G AT I O N L E A D E R S

doubted the devastating effects of war,this visit through Bosnia taught me towork even harder now.” Another commended the Balkan educators say-ing, “Educators must be examples ofcourage and tolerance for their commu-nities.”

During Winter 2003, 50 Seeds of Peaceregional educators met in Aqaba, Jordanwhere Arabs and Jews actively partici-pated in advanced communication train-ing under the tutelage of Arab andIsraeli professors. Participants departedsaying, “I enter difficult conversationswith more patience now” and, “I havebecome a much more respectful listener.”Some also reflected on how this trainingwould relate to their work at home. Saidone, “These meetings showed me thatboth sides have stories, and knowing thatmakes compromises more acceptable.”Another said, “When I get back into myclassroom, I need to help my studentsunderstand that the story is not one ofblack and white. I need to teach aboutthe grey and work towards solutionsrather than judgments.”

Seeds met with many notable worldleaders in 2003. During the summer,Seeds were received at the White Houseby President George W. Bush, at theState Department by Secretary of StateColin Powell, and on Capitol Hill byDemocratic and Republican representa-tives. Said Powell to the Seeds, “Thisprogram is essential…It is essential thatyoung people see each other as equals,as just another young person, anotherkid who wants nothing more than togrow up safely, and to serve one’s people,one’s nation.”

In addition, during his U.S. trip, thenPalestinian Prime Minister MahmoudAbbas and others in his cabinet (includ-ing current Prime Minister AhmedQorei) held a meeting with Seeds ofPeace graduates. A similar meeting isexpected with Israeli Prime MinisterAriel Sharon.

In November 2003, the U.S. House ofRepresentatives unanimously passed abipartisan resolution honoring Seeds ofPeace for its promotion of understand-ing, reconciliation, acceptance, coexis-tence, and peace among youth from theMiddle East and other conflict regions.

House Concurrent Resolution 288,introduced by Representative Tom Allen(D-ME), stated, “It is especially impor-tant to reaffirm that youth must beinvolved in long-term, visionary solu-tions to conflicts perpetuated by cyclesof violence.” It also stated that Seeds ofPeace is a “model of hope that livingtogether in peace and security is possi-ble.” The resolution was co-sponsoredby Representatives Steve Chabot (R-OH), Joe Knollenberg (R-MI), MikeMichaud (D-ME) and 46 other biparti-san co-sponsors.

108th CONGRESS1st SessionH. CON. RES. 288

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas Seeds of Peace, founded by John Wallach in 1993, is a program that brings togeth-er young people from regions of conflict to study and learn about coexistence and conflictresolution;

Whereas although the original focus of Seeds of Peace was to bring Israeli, Palestinian,Jordanian, and Egyptian youth together, the program has expanded over the past decade toinvolve youths from other regions of conflict, including from Greece, Turkey and dividedCyprus, the Balkans, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan;

Whereas these young people study and learn primarily at a summer camp operated by Seedsof Peace in Otisfield, Maine, and also through its regional programs such as the JerusalemCenter for Coexistence;

Whereas Seeds of Peace works to dispel fear, mistrust, and prejudice, which are root causesof violence and conflict, and to build a new generation of leaders who are committed toachieving peace;

Whereas Seeds of Peace reveals the human face of those whom youth have been taught tohate, by engaging campers in both guided coexistence sessions and ordinary summer campactivities such as living together in cabins, sharing meals, canoeing, swimming, playingsports, and creative exploration through the arts and computers;

Whereas the Arab-Israeli conflict is currently at a critical juncture, and sustained progresstowards peace depends on the emergence of a new generation of leaders who will choosedialogue, friendship, and openness over violence and hatred;

Whereas Seeds of Peace provides year-round opportunities for former participants to buildon the relationships they have forged at camp, so that the learning processes begun at campcan continue back in the participants' home countries, where they are most needed;

Whereas Seeds of Peace is strongly supported by participating governments and many worldleaders;

Whereas previous Federal funding for Seeds of Peace demonstrates its recognized impor-tance in promoting United States foreign policy goals; and

Whereas it is especially important to reaffirm that youth must be involved in long-term,visionary solutions to conflicts perpetuated by cycles of violence: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress--(1) honors the accomplishments of Seeds of Peace for promoting understanding, reconcilia-tion, acceptance, coexistence, and peace among youth from the Middle East and otherregions of conflict around the world; and(2) offers Seeds of Peace as a model of hope that living together in peace and security is pos-sible.

Passed the House of Representatives November 19, 2003.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CITES SEEDSAS “MODEL OF HOPE”

“...Congress honors theaccomplishments of Seedsof Peace for promotingunderstanding, reconcilia-tion, acceptance, coexis-tence, and peace amongyouth from the Middle Eastand other regions of conflictaround the world; andoffers Seeds of Peace as amodel of hope that livingtogether in peace andsecurity is possible.”Passed the House of RepresentativesNovember 19, 2003Unanimous vote: 415 to 0

“[Seeds of Peace] can't erase the factors that fuel the conflict inthe Mideast, or the Balkans or South Asia. But it allows these kidsto envision a life for themselves and their people beyond the conflict. In today's reality, that's only a dream. But as these young people grow into careers and influence it is likely to be a dreamthey will work toward in ways large and small.”

FIRST IMPACT ASSESSMENT:POSITIVE OUTCOME

In 2003, Seeds of Peace launched the first of a series of independent, outside evalua-tions assigned to measure the effectiveness of its programs by its impact on participantsfrom the Middle East. Zogby International* was chosen to conduct this study in threephases: at the beginning of Session II, 2003, with a pre-camp survey; at the end of thissession with a post-camp survey; six months later with a final survey in the Middle Eastregion, complemented by in-depth interviews.

Although the impact assessment is not yet complete, below are some of the results thatwere compiled after stage two (post-camp experience):

• In addition, “participants expressedoptimistic views regarding coexistencefollowing their Seeds of Peace experi-ence. Significant majorities of Israelis(90%) and Palestinians (78%) viewedcoexistence as possible after camp.”

• And though this is not an explicit goalof the Seeds of Peace program “nearlyall respondents (94%) said they forgedfriendships with campers from othercountries during their Seeds of Peaceexperience, and 73% expect to maintainthese friendships beyond their campexperience.”

• The Seeds of Peace summer camp cre-ates a safe environment within whichparticipants are able to interact withtheir “enemies.” Indeed, “Respondentsoverwhelmingly said they felt safe andunafraid with peers from other countriesduring camp activities (96%).”

• As a result, participants’ views of the‘other side’ of the conflict had improvedover the course of their camp experi-ence. “Notably four in five Israelis (79%)and nearly two in three Palestinians(63%) said their views of the ‘otherside’…had improved.”

Seeds of Peace soon plans to launch a long-term assessment of its program based on graduates from 1993 through the present.

FundingDonors

In a fiscal year characterized by a slumping economy, a warwith Iraq, continued violence between Israelis andPalestinians, and a Seeds of Peace leadership transition,Seeds of Peace not only matched its fundraising successes ofthe previous years, but actually raised 35% more revenue inFY2003 ($6.15 million dollars) than in FY2002.

With funding from the public sector holding constant, thisextraordinary revenue growth was largely a result of a boost inindividual and corporate contributions. As in FY2002, over85% of the 2003 operating budget was generated by the pri-vate sector from individuals, corporations, and private foun-dations. Public sector support came in the form of competi-tive grants made by various bureaus of the State Departmentand the United States Agency for International Development.

Seeds of Peace continues to widen its fundraising base as itreaches new communities across the United States. TheDetroit Friends Chapter produced another successful event,while the Florida Friends Chapter kicked-off with a majorfundraiser in Orlando. Looking ahead to 2004, Seeds of Peaceplans to target the West Coast for support including LosAngeles and San Francisco.

The growth in corporate donations continues a trend of thepast few years. Seeds of Peace managed a series of successfulcorporate partnerships in 2003, resulting in direct financialsupport as well as in-kind contributions.

With three summer sessions in Maine, the Center forCoexistence in Jerusalem, follow-up activities for delegationleaders and youth spanning the globe, and a growing educa-tion program that targets older Seeds of Peace graduates, theSeeds of Peace annual operating budget now approaches sixmillion dollars. Fiscal controls ensure that over 76 cents ofevery dollar supports programming; moreover, Seeds ofPeace has directed resources to build its organizational capac-ity–such as the addition of new development personnel, astronger presence in Washington, DC, and investments intechnology–that have produced immediate benefits and posi-tion the organization for continued programming growth.
