A space for Dialog between Israelis, Palestinians and Germans

FAB has been bringing Palestinians, Israelis and Germans together in dialog seminars for 20 years. For many, this is their first encounter with “the other” and it often ends in a meaningful experience that influences the rest of their lives. In the encounter between these three national groups, vulnerability, historical imprint and humanity can be experienced and conflict patterns can be looked at and released together. 
Especially now, when war and violence are causing deep rifts and peaceful coexistence seems impossible, FAB wants to enable those who have already had this experience to meet again. FAB offers them a space in which they are less alone with their desire for peace, in which they can strengthen each other and remind themselves that authentic and respectful encounters are possible. 

Voices from participants of our recent seminar:
“Unlike most dialogue programs, FAB takes a unique emotional- trauma based approach which creates a fragile and sensitive environment where Israelis, Germans and Palestinians can achieve true empathy for each other and work on their deepest differences *together*. For me it brought up things I didn’t know where inside me, and exposed me to a significantly deeper understanding of the Palestinian reality. Whoever is willing to go through such a process will not come out the same way he came in.”

“This seminar taught me what life is really about. In all its bottoms, its highs, and especially its depths. I understood the power of deep listening and of finding resemblance in times of division. Since then I feel like I can live more sincerely, not take anything for granted, and keep standing up for more justice and connection. Thank you for this glimpse of humanity.”

“FAB was a unique experience that allowed me to share my story and listen to others in a respectful, meaningful way. It gave me hope for deeper understanding across borders.”
