Karmiel-Majd el-Krum Interfaith Encounter on 20th November 2008:

Artistic Encounter

The artistic encounter took place on November 20th 2008 with some 60 students, of the two schools, who like to draw or write for good neighborhood relations.

The students did not get any instructions – they were only given the materials and they began to design the drawings that portray good neighborhood and mutual respect.

Another group took verses from the Quran, which talk about peace and tolerance, and translated them into Hebrew.

It is planned to present these works in a special exhibition on February 24th, in the presence of parents, religious leaders and public figures.
