Delegations


Our delegations are the basis for the work of interreligious peacekeeping forces. We started our delegation programme in 2000 because we believed that justice in Israel / Palestine should not be difficult. We started the program because Israelis and Palestinians invited us to their homes, offices and places of worship to learn from them about their lives. Today, our delegations continue to act as proof of the transformative power of learning directly from those who live in Israel / Palestine.


Ifpb delegations will introduce participants to perspectives not available in North America. In meetings with various representatives of Palestinian and Israeli society, special attention is paid to those who are working non-violently to resolve the conflict and end the occupation. The delegates will see the wall, the checkpoints and the destroyed houses and learn how this and much more affects the Palestinians. Similarly, delegates hear from Israelis about the consequences of the conflict for Israeli society. The delegation's learning experience is intended to motivate action to change when delegates return. Ifpb provides materials, support and mentoring to help returning delegates make the most of their experience.
