VIRTU-PEACE is a research project of the Diaspora Studies Research Network (FNDS) of the Research Center for Religion and Education (RCRE) and is funded by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange program. The project is situated in the field of peace education and investigates the possibilities of empowering Palestinian youth (West Bank, Gaza, and in the diaspora) through virtual dialogues, fostering understanding and critical thinking. The project is a cooperation between the RCRE, the University of Hebron in Palestine, the Sharing Perspectives Foundation in the Netherlands, and Soliya in Tunisia.
VIRTU-PEACE generates valuable research to inform future peacebuilding efforts, and is a pilot project to explore the potential for expanding the research in other conflict regions.
