Minds of Peace Begins the New Year in Jerusalem



Minds of Peace Experiment
A Palestinian-Israeli Public Negotiating Assembly
January 8-9, 2010
Everest Hotel -
BeitJala, Bethlehem BeitJala-AlrassStreet, Bethlehem,
Tel. 972-2-2742604

5 Israelis meet 5 Palestinians to discuss, debate, and negotiate different solutions to one of the most entrenched conflicts in the world. They have 5 sessions to reach a peace agreement. The negotiations are conducted in front of an audience, which is invited to participate in the peacemaking process.

The M.O.P.E. is a unique exercise in peacemaking and conflict resolution. It is a simulation of a potential Public Negotiating Congress. The exercise has multiple functions: illustrating the feasibility of developing a Public Negotiating Congress, helping to evaluate its potential outcomes, and building crucial public support for a potential accord. Our goal is to create a major Palestinian-Israeli Public Negotiating Congress in summer 2010.
