The Open House in Ramle - a peace education center in Ramle, Israel
 

Meeting with Local and international Groups, our message we hope is spreading..


Fifty Jewish and Arab High School  students from the Galilee visited Open House as part of an educational tour of the ‘mixed city’ of Ramle on the 22nd of February. Khader Alkalak, our administrative director receives them in the afternoon after the Nursery children are picked up by their working parents at 4 PM.

Our long standing Talks and Discussions with International groups ​have been taking place for many years. It is usually Dalia who meets with groups in Jerusalem where they wish to hear her perspective on the ‘situation’.
Throughout the years, we have met with groups of differing orientations and backgrounds both at home and abroad where we and our participants are invited to conferences, churches and universities.

Our basic purpose in the talks and discussions is to create an inner space where both parties to the conflict can be embraced. Often, this is easier said than done 😊 as empathy tends to be preferential.
