Our cooperation with Ms Samira Allison Srour and her team at the New Abraham Center in Gaza began in 1998. We organized together professional meetings of Israeli teachers and Palestinian teachers in Gaza, and visits of Palestinian pupils to an Israeli High School. In the midst of the violent events in the region, we have never stopped oureducational cooperation. We initiated together an online program fostering multiculturalism and empathy-building dialogue among youth belonging to communities in conflict. Our program was presented at the UNESCO International Conference on Intercultural Education in Finland, June 2003. With the support of the Belgian government, we are implementing, together with the New Abraham Center, our SNOWBlog project (Self Narratives On the Web- in Words and Pictures).Youth from Rafah and Gaza are participating in the project.
