The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its spillover into Germany: Exploring Jewish-Muslim relations in a time of War and Crisis

28 July 2025 Israel and Middle Eastern Studies Workshop Discussion

Join us in Heidelberg (28 July - 4 August 2025) for a groundbreaking, week-long workshop that brings together 40 students from Israel, Palestine, and Germany to explore the recent escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how it reverberates through Jewish-Muslim relations in Germany today. This unique seminar blends academic discussion with facilitated dialogue to foster critical reflection, personal connection, and shared understanding.

The workshop is free of charge for selected participants. Meals will be provided during the main program days, and accommodation will be arranged for Israeli and Palestinian participants. Travel costs from Israel/Palestine will be reimbursed up to a set limit.

Whether you're a student or simply passionate about peacebuilding and intercultural exchange, this is a rare opportunity to connect, reflect, and imagine new pathways toward mutual understanding and long-term collaboration.
