Quest for Peace: Searching for Answers to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
This week, you'll be working in groups and experiencing the public peace process. Here is a summary of what the public peace process is:

//"The public peace process is based on the assumption that there are things governments can do that people cannot; and there are things people can do that governments cannot. The public dialogue process and resulting action demonstrate that citizens have the freedom to be innovative and to create new, deeper relationships. While governments are the official bodies that make peace agreements, newer ideas and sustainable implementation depend on public consent and involvement. Thus **citizens have a critical role in peacemaking**, sometimes called "citizen"- or "track two"-diplomacy.[]//
