This programme aims at the formation of a regional network of experienced European, Israeli and Palestinian facilitators equipped with a social methodology called KUMI for the facilitation of processes of social transformation in inter-cultural conflicts.

It aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of this new methodology in engaging stakeholder groups hitherto excluded from peace-making efforts in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in order to realise their needs and reconcile their goals and identities with the imperatives for a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

The project will involve holding 2 multi-national workshops for representatives of these groups, 2 training workshops, the translation of the manual into Arabic, Hebrew, German and French and the establishment of an ICT infrastructure to support this network of facilitators.
