Sowing Seeds, Reaping Peace. The World of "Seeds of Peace
Description
Seeds of Peace is an innovative summer camp founded in the 1990s to teach reconciliation skills to groups of teens from regions in conflict. The camp allows the young people to confront their animosity towards each other through frank discussions about the difficult personal experiences that fuel their prejudice. In this classic program, Israeli and Palestinian teens at a Seeds of Peace camp in Maine find it's harder than they thought it would be to see another's point of view, yet ultimately, friendships are forged. The Seeds of Peace program celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2012 and has expanded to locations in 27 different countries since this video was filmed.
