Current Exhibit

The Center has partnered with the Canadian Friends of Oasis for Peace, a not for profit organization, based in Calgary dedicated to dialogue, cooperation, and a genuine and durable peace between Arabs and Jews, Palestinians and Israelis by encouraging, supporting, and publicizing the projects of Wahat al-Salam-Neve Shalom (WASNS), the “Oasis of Peace.”

Oasis of Peace is a village in Israel of Jews and Palestinian Arabs of Israeli citizenship.  Situated between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv-Jaffa, WASNS was founded in the early 1970s to demonstrate the possibility of peaceful coexistence between Jews and Palestinians by developing a community based on mutual acceptance, respect and cooperation.

Democratically governed and owned by its members, the community is not affiliated with any political party or movement. WASNS gives practical expression to its vision through various activities and programs.  Some of what this village includes are a bilingual/bi-national school system, a Pluralistic Spiritual Centre, a Humanitarian Aid Program and a School for Peace that offers encounter programs.

To bring the exhibit to your school, community center, place of worship or other space contact us.
