Ever wonder what young Israelis and Palestinians
growing up in conflict zones hope for, dream about,
and are working to change?
Ever wonder what both groups are doing to end the conflict between their two peoples?
Ever wonder what our role as citizens of the world should and can be?
If you've ever wondered and would like to know more, watch the discussion sponsored by Empower Peace and OneVoice that took place on Monday, May 19. The Global Town Hall Meeting webcast from East Jerusalem lnked Israeli and Palestinian youth leaders with students and young people from around the world.

Israelis and Palestinians come to the OneVoice Movement for very different reasons, but they are united in their commitment work on parallel tracks with their own communities to end conflict and occupation and to engage people from around the world in amplifying these calls for conflict resolution.
