Peace Child Israel was founded, and continues its
activity, in order to promote, and contribute to, a life of peace and equality between Arab and Jewish citizens in
Israel. The contribution of the organization to this objective is by activity amongst the future generation, the youth
from the two peoples. It uses the theatre as the vehicle for reaching its objectives.
Within the constraints of the capacities of
teenagers, the time and the means at the organization’s disposal, it is guided by the following objectives:
Creating acquaintances, friendly relations and mutual respect with the youth
of the other people;
Education towards democracy, as a way of life for all citizens of the
country, encouragement and strengthening of the willingness to accept the views of the other, and to respect them, even
in disagreement. Development of tolerance and empathy towards the other;
Education towards equal rights for both peoples, while maintaining the
unique identity of both;
Education towards changing reality through peaceful means;
Involvement, as much as possible, of the parents and community at-large in the process and in adoption of the
organization’s objectives.
