General Information
We are an association with only volunteer members. The budget is managed through funding. Our Canaan Project 2018 was funded by the German Foreign Office. In this project we invited 16 israelien and palestinian women for a three day workshop to the Foreign Office in Berlin, Germany. The safe and secure place of the Foreign Office allowed the participants to gain confidence in the bilateral  communication on topics of democracy, the UN Charter 1325 and active peace building in the Israelien - Palestinian Conflict. The workshop also included a conference evening with panel discussion for an invited audience related to the topic, such as politicians, diplomats, non govermental organisations, charites etc. Main partner for seminars and workshops in Israel/Palestine is: The Adam Institute for Democracy and Peace Dr. Uki Maroshek-Klarman
