Abraham’s Vision is a conflict transformation organization that explores group and individual identities through experiential and political education. Examining social relations within and between the Jewish, Muslim, Israeli, and Palestinian communities, we empower participants to practice just alternatives to the status quo.

Vision Program
The 2009-10 Vision Program Fellows completed the summer component of the Vision Program - a four-week summer educational trip in the Balkans.
Now that the Vision Program fellows have returned to their campuses and home communities they will engage in two weekend conferences, aimed to process their return to their lives and campuses after the summer, and organize and participate in campus and community presentations, which help articulate their own voices as they relate to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict using a social justice lens.

In response to a growing interest, we have decided to launch our newest series of programs; Beyond Bridges. Our first Beyond Bridges Program will take American students from all backgrounds to Israel-Palestine.
Beyond Bridges: Israel-Palestine (BB:IP) is a summer program that takes university students to the Middle East on a journey of comparative conflict analysis and transformation, combining rigorous academics with practical hands-on training. This allows students to explore questions at the core of all international conflicts. Like all CTE programs, BB:IP aims to create spaces for both personal and collective growth, helping students gain new understandings of the roles they play in international conflicts, and exploring how this relates to their political identities. Moving beyond the stage of practical peace agreements, or “beyond bridges,” BB:IP challenges participants to look at long-term solutions to end inter-communal conflict.
Abraham's Vision is now accepting applications for the 2010-11 Vision Program Fellowship, a ten-month fellowship for Jews and Palestinians (from the Middle East and the US) wherein fellows explore the Israeli-Palestinian conflict academically utilizing the lens of comparative conflict and social justice analysis, and personally through individual and group processes.
