The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its spillover into Germany

Join us in a 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.
Meals will be provided during the main program days.

We are excited to invite applications for a unique, week-long workshop that will explore how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict shapes Jewish-Muslim relations — not just in the Middle East, but in Germany as well. In the wake of the tragic events since October 7, 2023, we believe it is more important than ever to create spaces for thoughtful dialogue, academic inquiry, and intercultural exchange.
This workshop is a joint initiative of the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg (HfJS), Tech2Peace (T2P), an Israeli-Palestinian NGO focused on dialogue and technology, Jerusalem Multidisciplinary College (JMC), and the Harry S. Truman
Generously supported by Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace (Hebrew University). Together, we aim to combine academic discussion with facilitated dialogue and meaningful connections.
Over the course of an intensive week, 20 participants from Israel and Palestine and 20 students from Germany (of all backgrounds, with a special invitation for students with Israeli, Palestinian, Middle Eastern, Jewish or Muslim backgrounds) will come together in Heidelberg. Through lectures, workshops, and dialogue sessions, we will examine and reflect on the current crisis, its impact on Jewish-Muslim relations, and broader questions of migration, co-existence, and identity in Germany, in Israel/Palestine, and in-between Germany and the Middle East.
Participants will not only exchange academic ideas, but also share their lived experiences, historical narratives, and personal challenges. We will learn from each other’s perspectives and work together to think of new ways of fostering understanding between communities.
This workshop is more than a conference: it is an opportunity to build lasting academic and intercultural partnerships, and to help shape a new model for open, thoughtful engagement with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Europe.
If you are passionate about research, dialogue, and building bridges between communities, we warmly encourage you to apply!
Workshop Goals
1. To explore how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict resonates within Jewish-Muslim relations in Germany, especially after the recent escalation.
2. To offer an interdisciplinary platform for young scholars to study connections between the Middle East and Europe.
3. To build strong, lasting academic and intercultural networks among Israeli, Palestinian, and German participants, laying the foundation for future collaborations between people and institutions.

Hinweise zur Teilnahme:
Participation in the workshop, for those selected, is free of charge. Lunch and dinner will largely be covered during the main workshop days (meals will not be provided on the arrival day, departure day, or free day).
