Basically as a part of the PIE website. - The choice of publishing it as hard copies
depends on the availability of funds.When?
Once a month for the online newsletter; once every three months for the paper version.
Who writes?
Mainly young people from Europe, Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Exceptions might be accepted taking into consideration the topic addressed and the nature of the contribution.
Who to address?
Mainly young European, Israeli and Palestinian people.
What to write?
It might be significant to let writings go in two simultaneous dimensions:
1. The first deals with issues directly related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (e.g. the relationship with the ‘other’, self reflection, personal experiences as well as visions about the future).
2. The second deals with universal themes/concerns (e.g. globalization, environment, children abuse, women issues, the effect of technological transition on human relations). This would indeed open the
space for seeing the better future when we (Israelis and Palestinians) are able to share these universal concerns rather than sharing the conflict.
It might also be good to choose a main theme for each issue. Parts of the newsletter’s writings go under the theme, and the space is kept open for free writings.
WHY to write?
- To empower – inside ourselves and spread to others – the faith in the better future.
- To have the courage to look deep into what’s happening, to spread the capability of doing something,
instead of being just desperate.
- To throw light on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from our experienced perspective, and to stimulate people to take a role.
