Program Background
“Shalom Lecha Salaam” - Arab and Jewish youngsters talking Peace. Forming a free
stage for the young generation in our region; thus trying to change the reality
into a better one. The idea of a youth show has started to be that free stage
and to try to change this reality of the current situation into a better one.
The Program rational
This program will provide a chance for youth from different cultures, religious
and backgrounds to meet and get to know each other.
The basic problem, the youth in Palestine/Israel faces is the lack of
confidence, because of the common principle known in these societies that the
young people are still young and they can't make decisions. The adult world
tries to take over the youth world, Thus to cancel there role in the society,
and this is a fact that we all should be aware of, and shouldn't be adopted in
our societies.
Also, another main problem of both young generation of the Israeli and the
Palestinian communities, is the lack of opportunities for the youth to meet, to
talk, to listen to each other and to discuss relevant matters, politics, culture
and every interesting common subject.
One of the main goals of so many people living in this country, or even out of
it, is to be the stage for these people to express themselves, to teach about
their lives and to learn about the others'. To talk about their needs and
interests is a way to get to know each others way of life and traditions.
The educational process of creating something important together is a very
strong method of getting people together, creating good and significant
relationship.
All For Peace (AFP) radio station is one of the main projects that provided the
area for both nations where you can talk out loudly, express your opinion, and
represent your ideas without any fear or confusion.
