As a single child to the matrimony of a Jewish mother and a Palestinian father, who met after the 1973 Yom Kipur War, I spent my first eighteen years growing up at village of Qalansuwa, with my father’s family. Upon my father’s death, I moved back with my mother to Tel-Aviv. After graduation from my bachelor studies, I joined the Peres Center as a project manager in the Civil Leadership Department. There, I managed various projects focusing on peace education and dialogue by using different tools, such as group therapy, community work and frontal lecturers. Among many projects, in the Jericho Convention 2011, we managed to bring together hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian, Arab and Jewish, youth professionals and agents of change.?Two years ago, I came back to the Peres Center to work on a project called “Impact through Technology”, which supports the exchange of knowledge between Israelis and Palestinians through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The projects seek to develop the ICT capacity of Palestinian professionals and youth in cooperation with leading Israeli ICT companies and institutions, and to promote cooperative economic partnerships between the two private sectors. In addition, I?initiated few projects for cooperation between the Peres Center, the Arab-Israeli and the greater Israeli communities. My own personal life experience and language skills contributed greatly to understanding of various behaviors between and within those two societies, thereby bridging over communicational gaps between the two.Sabina GendlerSabina Gendler is a graduate student in the department of Politics and Government and the Centre for the Study of European Politics and Society, at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
