Muna Boulos and Eden Zohar in Germany

In early March, Muna Boulos and Eden Zohar set out on a tour in Germany organized by the German Friends Association. On the itinerary were visits to colleges, schools and interested groups. During the two months before the tour, the Communications and Development staff helped to train and prepare these two young people, spending time with them, exposing them to programs for visiting groups and to meetings with journalists. In addition, Muna has completed a course of the School for Peace at university.

Muna and Eden returned from Germany with new experiences. They had become acquainted with many young Germans, confronted difficult questions and made new discoveries. The learning was mutual: "I wouldn’t have believed it possible for something like [WAS-NS] to exist!" was a sentence that Eden and Muna heard many time on their tour. After all, they were presenting a different kind of news from that which normally emerges from our troubled region. By sharing their own life experience, they were able to show that mutual respect and cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians is possible.
