The European Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Perceptions and
Future Possibilities 
- A conference for European, Israeli and Palestinian students -
4 - 10 August 2003 in Copenhagen, Denmark

organized by the PIE Project Team of AEGEE in cooperation with
Palestinian Vision and the Young Israeli Forum for Cooperation as well
as AEGEE-Copenhagen

Corresponding to the conferences in August 2002 in Hamburg and February
2003 in Hofgeismar, the general objective of this conference was to
enable students from both parties of the conflict and European students
to exchange their views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to
become aware of the different perceptions of the 'other'. Although
discussions were often very heated, the 30 participants - including 13
students and young activists from Israel/Palestinian Territories -
reached consensus on the three workshop issues ('Engines of the
Conflict: Security and Fear', 'Refugees and Settlements', and 'Mass
Media and Education') and came up with a common statement (soon
available at our website). Moreover, the participants elaborated several
joint Palestinian-Israeli-European projects that aim to raise awareness
of the 'other' in the respective societies and promote mutual
understanding and trust.

A three-day Post Event for the Israeli and Palestinian participants was
organized by AEGEE-Copenhagen. Articles written by participants about
the conference and soon also the documentation (including the statement
of the participants) are available at www.aegee.org/pie

The next conference will take place in Amsterdam from 1-7 March 2004.
