Watch and Listen: Hand in Hand on BBC!
In April 2018, BBC journalists visited our Wadi Ara School and interviewed teachers and students.
The Israeli school for both Jews and Arabs

There was also a special BBC podcast episode about Hand in Hand, where they interviewed Ned Lazarus, an expert in conflict resolution and a Professor of International Affairs who has been researching Hand in Hand since 2012.
He said: “In the communities where Hand in Hand exists, it’s already making a tremendous difference. Each one of those schools is more than just a school, but it is really an integrated community center which is bringing a new kind of potential for relationships across the communities. It’s a remarkable example of what is possible to do and achieve as a peacebuilding intervention in a place where the conflict is not at all resolved.”
