COMBATANTS FOR PEACE

Encounters host a programme of events, workshops and conflict resolution processes in the UK for representatives of Combatants for Peace (CfP), a grassroots movement of Israeli and Palestinian ex-combatants engaged in a non-violent struggle to end the Israeli occupation.

In 2010 and 2011, Encounters hosted a visit from a group of Israeli and Palestinian members of CfP for a UK tour of public events to share their personal stories and non-violent creative methods for resolving conflict. CfP uses theatre as a tool for dialogue, action and transformation.
