2 peacecamp-reunion of the Jewish and the Arab delegations of peacecamp 2007, in Israel
October and November 2007
Betweeen October 25th and 27th, my husband Ronny and myself visited the Jewish and the Arab delegations of peacecamp 2007. We were hosted by the principal of Zvulun High school in Kibbutz Yagour, met her assistant Hila, Osnat Oknin and Dr. Silvio Gutkowski, who had come from Jerusalem in order to participate in this reunion.

On the next day, we traveled to nearby Nazareth: we were greeted by Arab delegation to peacecamp 2007 , youth and adults: all the young Jewish and Arab peacecamp-participants had come, but also Nazira Taha and her husband, and Mr. Faisal Taha, the principal of the Galil High School of Nazareth. We were guided through Nazareth, visited the Museum of Antiquities and were shown very interesting and beautiful items that illustrate the history of Nazarath and its inhabitants.

This was a great opportunity for the Jewish and Arab participants to meet again after the peacecamp-experience of the summer, and to spend a most interesting and inspiring day together.

Another reunion of the two delegations will take place very soon in Jerusalem: Dr. Silvio Gutkowski invited the youngsters to participate in a conference on psychic trauma which is about to take place in Jerusalem in November: arrangements were made between Dr. Gutkowski and the group leaders of both groups for a joined trip to Jerusalem and the presentation of the peacecamp-project at the conference.
