Description
The public discourse on college campuses around the Israel-Palestine conflict has become even more polarized in the wake of the Gaza protests this spring, leaving little, if any, room for nuanced voices. To counter this trend, OneVoice on Campus, a program that is currently active at schools across the country, will organize a national educational tour where young adult Israeli and Palestinian activists travel together to colleges campuses to talk about life in the region and how they see their shared but complicated future. This speaking tour will engage students in a conversation that helps humanize the issue and the people behind the headlines, work that is especially important given that Diaspora communities are shown to be more extreme and hardened in their views than people living in the region.
