This program will take place on the grounds of Tantur Ecumenical Institute* in Jerusalem from July 28th to August 13th. The Middle East course, which focuses on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, will be held from Sunday, August 2nd until Thursday, August 13th. A study tour organized by Global Majority and the People’s Peace Fund, will commence on July 28th and end on the 31st; participants will have the opportunity to meet with local Israeli and Palestinian NGOs at this time.
