Muslim-Jewish Relations Guidebook to Mutual Discovery

The Discovery Program is an intensive four-month online seminar that is designed to act as an educational gateway in bringing together Muslim and Jewish youth to examine their current, as well as prospective relations.

Youth from all over the world are encouraged to engage in thought-provoking discussions that tackle themes related to religion, political debates, and the Arab-Israeli conflict and its effect on Muslim-Jewish relations. The program also provides an open forum to critically analyze the different forms of media and their impact on these two communities.

We are searching for 18 exceptional young people
(nine Muslims & nine Jews) from eighteen different countries
between the ages of 16-18 to participate in an historic project.
Together, they will create an unprecedented Muslim-Jewish Relations Guidebook to Mutual Discovery.

It will be distributed to Jewish and Muslim communities all over the world at the end of 2006.

Applications are due no later than January 20th.

Applicants must be:
- highly motivated
- prepared to engage with the project via the Internet on a daily
basis for four months
- feel comfortable communicating in basic written English with
other mostly non-native speakers
- have access to a camera and a willingness to explore thei religious community through photography
- knowledgable about their own religious tradition and comfortable serving as a peer educator to those from the other community
-willing to serve as an ambassador for Muslim-Jewish relations both in their own community and abroad

Please be in touch with us directly if you have any questions and thank you for forwarding this email to the right people.
