Join us at Landis House to decorate your own quilt square (14x14 inches) with a message of peace and hope.
The finished squares will be sent to the organization "Women Wage Peace" to be incorporated into larger peace quilts, which will be displayed at WWP events promoting peace between Israelis and Palestinians. All materials will be provided for this activity, as will snacks!
Women Wage Peace, founded in 2014, is a movement that aims to change the narrative surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is non-partisan and does not support any one specific solution. Instead, it empowers women from diverse communities to build trust across divides, leading in turn to a unified demand for diplomatic negotiation, with full representation of women, to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Piece for Peace" at Dickinson is sponsored by the Middle East Studies Program, in collaboration with Judaic Studies, the Asbell Center for Jewish Life, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Women's and Gender Resource Center, Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies, Theatre & Dance, and the Popel Shaw Center for Race & Ethnicity.
