Our vision is to build a culture of creative leaders inspiring and educating others to work toward peace. It is unreasonable to expect youth to come to a peaceful resolution to a regional conflict if they are growing up in an environment of fear, anger, and alienation. Our programs are designed specifically to overcome these hurdles, while at the same time giving youth educational tools to disseminate to wider audiences, and facilitating their transition to community leaders.
We are currently focusing on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. As our organization grows we will expand our work to address the needs of other domestic and international clashes and tensions.

Empowering youth to promote peace through dialogue, filmmaking, and multimedia.
Peace it Together is a year-long curriculum for Palestinian, Israeli, and Canadian youth that begins with an intensive residential program on Canada's West Coast. Our vision is to build a culture of creative leaders inspiring and educating others to work toward peace. We do this by teaching creative and practical conflict resolution skills to youth as they work in teams to create short films related to the conflict.
One of the strengths of our Peace it Together program is that it produces youth-made films that are both entertaining and educational. We are developing an educational DVD targeted at high schools and post-secondary institutions around the world.
