JCRC Community Education: Tech2Peace Virtual Program
Sunday, January 23, 2022 at 10:00 AM on Zoom.
Tech2Peace brings together young Palestinians and Israelis through intensive seminars and an ongoing alumni community blending high-tech and entrepreneurship training and dialogue.
Tech2Peace leverages Israel's impressive high-tech ecosystem to build a cross-border network of Palestinians and Israelis that support peace, and work together towards a more peaceful future by building joint startups and other initiatives.
This interactive webinar will include discussions with Israeli and Palestinian staff and alumni of T2P, giving community members a chance to better understand multiple perspectives on the situation on the ground, discuss their thoughts and feelings with those at the center of the conflict, contribute their expertise and knowledge to our work, and receive a message of hope and peace during these difficult times.
