Peace Partners: A Cooperative Problem-Solving Partnership Among Educators In Israel, Palestine, And Fairfax County, Virginia

Using exchange visits, Fairfax County Public Schools worked with educators in Israel and in Palestine to develop programs in conflict resolution and mediation. Fairfax County Public Schools has had mediation programs in the majority of their schools for more than ten years. Starting in the fall of 2003, Fairfax County educators sought to share their programs with educators in the Middle East and also to learn from them about other ways to provide conflict resolution education and peacemaking skills.
