The Volunteering for Peace CC, was established to participate in establishing a bridge between the different faith and culture in Palestine and across the world. The idea came to create a youth working group to discuss in a regular basis regarding the different aspects of the daily life and to encourage cooperation between the different cultures. The name came from a Euromed program that took place in Greece in 2005 and in which participants from different countries in both Europe and Mediterranean met in Greece to learn about every community and every faith prospective to peace. Volunteering for Peace participated in different local and international intercultural exchanges activities in different countries around the world. Volunteering for Peace is active in the fields of intercultural exchange, capacity building, human rights, environment, non-violence and peace building. We organize different workshops, training programs and exchanges in topics of interest of Palestinian youth.
