A wonderful mini-documentary made about the Peres Center for Peace by A World of Football. This is how they described the film;

In a very sensitive political context, the Peres Center for Peace Football School encourages reconciliation between Palestinian and Israeli children from disadvantaged communities through a program of sport training, peace education and social activities. This program imparts the values of peace and understanding, encourages acceptance of cultural differences and breaks down stereotypes!

I couldn’t agree more. That is what we are going all out for. That is why we are doing this. Inspiring stuff.

Through bringing together Israelis and Palestinians and focusing on common Arab and Israeli social, economic, developmental, cultural and educational interests, the Peres Center enables real people-to-people relationships to be formed, paving the way to a real and lasting peace between peoples
