Hear all about Tech2Peace’s unique initiative that brings young Palestinians and Israelis – from the right and the left of the political spectrum, both religious and secular – to study the latest technological trends and to engage in serious dialogue.
Uri, and Adnan introduces us to Tech2Peace and their 12-day residential seminars. Maysan walks us round the campus to show us where the seminar is taking place simultaneously with our zoom call. Jake interviews three participants from the live seminar about their feelings at working and talking with someone from the ‘other side’.
