In February 2000, in partnership with the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information (IPCRI), WP began an initiative to adapt and pilot the Workable Peace curriculum in Israel and Palestine. During the 2000 - 2001 school year, 2 Palestinian, 1 Israeli Arab and 4 Israeli Jewish schools are implementing the adapted curriculum with their 10th and 11th grade classes. We also work with the American Community School in Beirut, Lebanon.

Organizations

Workable Peace is a member of the Post-September 11th Education Consortium (PSEC), a collection of education, conflict resolution, and dialogue organizations committed to meeting the needs of schools in the post 9/11 environment.

In July 2002 and 2003, Workable Peace worked with teachers and students at the World Leaders Conference, a week-long forum for international youth leaders. WLC is the first step of a multi-year project by Youth Leaders International, a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching leadership and civic responsibility to students around the world.

We also facilitated the development of conflict resolution and negotiation skills at the first annual Student-Faculty Conference on the Arab-Israeli Conflict, at Belmont Hill School, in June 2002.

During the winter of 1999, WP collaborated with Our Place Theater Project (Roxbury, Jamaica Plains, MA), a youth theater group in an inner city Boston neighborhood to dramatize positive ways of dealing with local conflicts.

In May 1999 Workable Peace collaborated with the State of the World Forum Emerging Leaders Program and Youth At Risk Program in Belfast, Northern Ireland. WP staff orchestrated a day-long workshop for the young participants of "The Challenge of Reconciliation: Diversity and Community in a Global Age," centering on our Northern Ireland Role Play.
