Kids Creating Peace (KCP) is an SFK initiative aimed at helping children who are caught in war-torn areas of the world. With successful Hebrew and Arabic pilot programs in the Middle East, KCP recognizes that a crucial first step toward achieving sustainable peace in the region is changing the common attitude of hatred on both sides towards one another. After learning the principles of unity and tolerance in the SFK curriculum, Arab and Jewish children are brought together for special programs, events, and summer camp experiences, where they bond in fun and friendship. Through KCP, the SFK principles are applied to real-world conflict in order to create change both in the individual and in the world.
KCP TEEN DIALOGUE PROGRAM:
KCP’s newest development is a dialogue program for Jewish and Arab teenagers in the Middle East. One of the main goals is to provide and empower children with a true dialogue experience where they discover that the child sitting opposite them has similar feelings, desires, and hopes as they do. Once this discovery is made, real change becomes possible. Dialogue programs created for the Middle East will serve as a model that can and should be used in any conflict torn area of the world.
