dc.description.abstractThis study examines the experience of Palestinian and Israeli youth involved in a coexistence organization Kids4Peace Jerusalem. This qualitative research investigates the questions: 1) What is the interaction between collective identity and experience in K4P? 2) In what ways do young people benefit or fail to benefit from Kids4Peace? 3) How do the larger power structures and power asymmetries impact youth perceptions of their experience in Kids4Peace? The research explores the way in which collective identities of participants of Kids4Peace interact with individuals’ experiences to produce group-specific results in regards to individual and group goals for contact, emotional themes, and responses to dialogue and programming, perceptions of power and peace. The findings detect a difference in perceptions of the conflict, power, and the meaning of peace.en_US
