Thanks to the generosity of the Atkin Foundation, ICSR is offering young leaders from Israel and the Arab world the opportunity to come to London for a period of four months, producing a research paper as the result of their work. The purpose of the fellowship is to provide young leaders from Israel and the Arab world with an opportunity to develop their ideas on how to further peace and understanding in the Middle East through research, debate and constructive dialogue in a neutral political environment.
In her paper ‘Palestinian Civil Society: A time for action’ Amal Abusrour of Palestine conceives of a new role for civil society in the Palestinian state, directly challenging government structures to provide good governance, peace-building, and strong independent statehood.
