Luxembourg Symposium

Quel futur pour les Palestiniens et les Israéliens ? Regards croisés des sociétés civiles palestinienne et israélienne. (English below)

Samedi 5 octobre 2019 de 14:00 à 21:00 / Neimënster, 28 Rue Münster, Salle Dune, L-2160 Luxembourg

Après des décennies d’un prétendu processus de paix entre Palestiniens et Israël, il n’y a plus guère à espérer des politiciens. Depuis longtemps, les sociétés civiles palestinienne et israélienne ont décidé de prendre leur destin en main. Que font-ils? A quoi font-ils face? Comment s’organisent-ils? Qu’est-ce qui fonctionne, qu’est-ce qui ne fonctionne pas? Comment imaginent-ils le lendemain du conflit? Comment pouvons-nous les aider, ici en Europe? Sur ces sujets, nous écouterons neuf Palestiniens et Israéliens engagés qui partagent la conviction que les êtres humains sont égaux et que chacun jouit des mêmes droits. Nous discuterons avec eux, ils discuteront ensemble. La musique et la poésie feront partie du dialogue.

What future for Palestinians and Israelis? Views from the Palestinian and Israeli civil societies

After decades of a so-called peace process between Palestinians and Israel, not much can be expected from the politicians. Since a long time, the Palestinian and Israeli civil societies have decided to take their fate into their own hands. What are they doing? What are they facing? How do they organise? What is working, what is not? How do they imagine the day after the conflict? How can we help them, here in Europe? On those topics, we will listen to nine highly dedicated Palestinians and Israelis who all share the belief that humans are equal, and every human being is entitled to the same human rights. We will discuss with them, they will discuss together. Music and poetry will be part of the dialogue.
