A Touch of Peace is an initiative blending psychosocial support with peace education. This project, envisioned and run by Gazans, will address the psychological trauma among children in Gaza after two years of immense violence, loss, and displacement.

 

The initial phase aims to support 75-100 youth (ages 6-12) directly impacted by armed conflict by providing psychological support, art supplies, coloring books and toys, and fruit and drinks for a healthy snack during sessions.

 

The support and art sessions will be structured to support ideas of peace and hope, as part of a holistic vision to rehabilitate the youth of Gaza and support their path to a future of peace, prosperity, and coexistence.

The Valley of Dialogue initiative, supported by the Coalition for Peace and Coexistence (CPC), is a new program dedicated to fostering healing, dialogue, and mutual understanding between Palestinian youth and Israeli settler youth. The initiative will operate across shared and contested areas where these communities intersect, with each setting managed as a distinct component of the project.

​

Valley of Dialogue is designed to address the deep cultural, psychological, and social wounds that perpetuate cycles of mistrust and hostility. By creating structured spaces for dialogue, joint learning, and cooperative activity, the project seeks to “deprogram” entrenched patterns of animosity and replace them with values of empathy, respect, and cooperation.

The Coalition for Peace and Coexistence (CPC) is launching a coordinated initiative to strengthen humanitarian aid delivery and advance peacebuilding efforts within Gaza. This project responds to urgent human needs while laying the groundwork for long-term stability, dignity, and coexistence.
 

This project represents a nearly unprecedented effort in the peacebuilding sector and comes at a time when reconstruction and humanitarian support in Gaza are of critical importance. For further details, the official project briefing is attached below in both Arabic and English.

The Coalition for Peace and Coexistence (CPC) is launching a new project called Voices, designed to amplify the perspectives of Israelis, Palestinians, and other residents of the Israel/Palestine region. The program will operate across three areas: Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, with each region managed as a distinct component of the project.

​

Voices seeks to highlight the views of the so-called “silent majority” — moderate Israelis and Palestinians who constitute a substantial portion of the population yet are often underrepresented in public discourse. By providing a platform for these voices, the project aims to foster mutual understanding and strengthen the culture of coexistence.
