Notes for Peace Goals

Notes for Peace has four main project goals: 


  1) A summer camp in Israel, where Jewish-Israeli, Arab-Israeli, and Palestinian youth would come together and be taught by well-known artists from around the world in the interest of building tolerance, coexistence, and peace. 



  2) To serve as an intermediary between institutions of higher learning in the United States and public schools in Israel and public schools in the Palestinian territories in order to provide donated arts technologies (i.e. computers, musical instruments) to these schools for use in arts-education initiatives.


3) To provide scholarships to youth from Israel and the Palestinian territories to come and study arts majors at US institutions of higher learning.



4) To raise awareness about the importance of tolerance and arts education by encouraging interfaith and interethnic dialogue programs on college campuses and at community centers in the United States, Israel, and around the world.
