One day the girls argued over something silly, but the rupture grew and grew out of all proportion, resulting in the building of a wall that separated Eden East from Eden West. Over the years, it became common for people on one side of the wall to think of the people on the other side as monsters and immoral. One day, a poster was hung, notifying everyone about a regional talent contest, inviting every village to send a representative. At the competition, the representatives of Eden East and Eden West meet. The result…. |

Who
Peace Child Israel is the pioneer and veteran of coexistence programs through the medium of theatre for Arab and Jewish teenagers. In 1988, the late Habima Theatre actress Yael Drouyanoff formed an NGO with members of the Arab and Jewish community, with the help of David Gordon, co-founder of Peace Child International. Teenagers from neighboring communities meet weekly and conclude their first year of activity by writing and performing original plays in Arabic and Hebrew. They continue as young leaders by performing their plays for school audiences. Groups are co-facilitated by Arab and Jewish professionals from the field of theatre and social work. The PCI Board of Directors is comprised of Arab and Jewish individuals from the field of social work, education, communication and finances. Peace Child Israel is a registered “amuta” and receives “correct management” status annually. Since inception, Peace Child has grown from one workshop in Jaffa to a nation-wide organization, reaching a record 11 workshops in the 2005-2006 cycle. In 2001, parents of participants were added to the circle of activity.
