A Recent Groundbreaking Study in the Middle East
We are thrilled to announce the results of a groundbreaking, 8-year study which finds that PeacePlayers’ Middle East program is transforming Arab and Jewish young people into agents for peace.
The study, which involved 800 Arab and Jewish participants ages 8 to 16 years from more than 20 communities throughout Israel, found what we have long recognized: PeacePlayers’ young leaders become active ambassadors for peace in their communities. As a result of sustained participation, they acquire the positive attitudes, personal resources and strong motivation needed to influence their peers.
