The Interfaith Peacebuilding Initiative brings together Palestinians and Israelis from diverse political and religious communities. Interfaith encounters promote peace and advance inter-communal equality-based relations by presenting opportunities for Muslims, Jews, and Christians to regularly meet and discuss religious and cultural topics. By identifying shared values and experiences, participants build a foundation of trust and understanding.

In the YOUTH INC. project, 6 partners from Hungary, Romania, Germany, Kosovo, Albania and Israel work together to increase the quality, perception and capacity of youth workers, and young people.
Partners develop a training module for youth workers and a Project Based Learning module involving young people.
In the project, 18 groups of young people – 3 in each country, discussed inspiring figures in their communities – “invisible heroes” whose contributions deserve recognition, and created virtual monument for them. The three monuments we created locally, in 3 languages, can be found it THIS LINK
Project’s Handbook: Hebrew, Arabic, English

For many years the Interfaith Encounter Association organizes the project of collecting Chametz (=leavened food) before Pesach from Jewish families, for needy families in East Jerusalem (Christians and Muslims).

During both collection and distribution we are fully transparent: while collecting we make it clear that the Chametz will be delivered to needy families in East Jerusalem and upon delivery we stress that the food comes from Jewish families in West Jerusalem.

Debate for Peace brings together Arab and Jewish students from all over Israel to participate in Model United Nations conferences, where they debate, negotiate and try to resolve the most difficult and pressing challenges in international relations. Read more at their website

This is an independent study project under the auspices of the IEA. Based on the IEA’s fundamental premises – that religion not only can, but must play a positive role in resolving conflict and that setting aside politics, we can with respect and integrity breach any subject – God’s Holy Mountain has taken on what has become the symbol of conflict:  the issue of the Temple Mount / Al-Haram Al-Sharif.  The project aims to transform the Temple Mount, from a place of contention and strife to one that is truly God’s Holy Mountain, a house of prayer for all people (Isaiah 56:7), fulfilling God’s original mandate to the Jewish people to manifest the One God to the world:  “On that day, God will be One and His Name One” (Zechariah 14:9).
