والحوار والقيادة
The Peace & Dialogue Leadership Initiative (PDLI) engages top undergraduate students at Yale University and the United States Military Academy at West Point through a unique yearlong fellowship focused on understanding the historical, political, and fundamentally human narratives that define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The fellowship fosters civil-military relations and inspires students to deeply reflect on the United States' relationship with Israel, its role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and, more broadly, its role in the region. The centerpiece of the fellowship is an annual 10-day trip to the region for fellows to engage with stakeholders who have lived through and shaped the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Our Mission:
• To state the obvious, the peace process in Israel and Palestine has failed. PDLI’s mission — studying the art of peacebuilding by testing strategic knowledge against realities on the ground — is more urgent than ever.
•Develop a community on campus and beyond interested in historical, political, and human narrative immersion, and in conflict mediation and peacebuilding.
• Prompt students to reflect on what good leadership looks like on both an institutional and a personal level, and to empower them to practice such leadership in their own lives.
• Foster civil-military relationships, understanding, and dialogue.
• Provide an incisive look into Israeli and Palestinian society, culture, and politics.
• Inspire students to deeply reflect on the United States' relationship with Israel, its role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and, more broadly, its role in the region.
