MARCH 26-APRIL 2, 2011: The Israel Symposium

The Israel Symposium is an extraordinary one-week journey to Israel that allows participants to meet, learn from and build bridges with key Israeli and Palestinian policy and opinion-makers, Arab and Jewish social activists, journalists, academics, authors, and artists. 

It is a perfect experience for someone who cares not only about the security of Israel's people, but about the moral character of its society as well.

Israel faces complex challenges. The Israel Symposium won't dictate the solutions. But it will provide you with new perspectives - ones that you normally don't get in the mainstream media - and encourage you to pose the tough questions that need to be asked. 

Participants on The Israel Symposium are guaranteed to come away with a dramatically deeper understanding of the critical dilemmas facing Israeli society today - which is why we refer to The Israel Symposium as more of a "master class" than a mission.

With the Symposium taking place during this period of uncertainty for peace and democracy in Israel, it will be an important time to be in the region.
