In 2009, Milad and Manar created the Vision Association for Culture and Arts (VACA) in their West Bank community of Al-Eizariya, near Jerusalem. VACA teaches art, music, dance, and theater to Palestinian children, to give them a vision of a more hopeful future. Milad and Manar also study and teach the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
They will speak about VACA and their vision for creating peace in the region. Their presentation will be followed by a Q & A and a discussion with the audience. This event is free and open to everyone.
