If anyone is interested in the following, I will put you in touch with Laura Conrad at the University of Leeds

----
Special Invitation to meet OneVoice Israeli and Palestinian Youth Leaders in Leeds

OneVoice

OneVoice is a grassroots movement of Israeli and Palestinian citizens and international supporters who are fed up with the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and who are ready and eager to support a serious peace process, leading to a comprehensive agreement that will fulfil the hopes and beliefs of both the Palestinian and the Israeli people to end the occupation and all forms of violence and establish a two state solution.

Hosted by Shalom Salaam

Shalom Salaam aims to oppose prejudice and bigotry; to improve relationships between people with all perspectives on the Israel/ Palestine conflict through social activities and to foster debate and dialogue between all sides and points of view on the issue, in the interests of uniting all those who seek a just resolution to the conflict.

Tuesday 11th November, 12 - 2 PM, Conference Hall, LUU
Refreshments will be provided

Dear Shalom Salaam members,

Please join us in a safe space, meeting people from different communities in Leeds, to hear first hand from OneVoice Israeli and Palestinian Youth Leaders, Ana Lipnik and Abeer Natsheh about the realities of living with the conflict in Israel and Palestine and how they are trying to change the desperate status quo.

We want you to feel welcome and to listen and engage in meaningful conversations together. We should learn the art of conversation, from which truth emerges by letting our world be enlarged by the presence of others who think, act and interpret reality in radically different to our own.

This will be an incredible opportunity to hear direct from those living in the region. Ana and Abeer are just two of 1,800 OneVoice Youth Leaders who have had enough of the occupation, conflict and violence and are standing up as leaders to push for a better future for themselves and their children.

We really hope you will be able to join us. Please RSVP to me as soon as possible (don't forget). Facebook RSVP will do. Thank you.

Best Wishes,

Laura Conrad
On behalf of Shalom Salaam
