NEW YORK | Twenty-five Seeds in the US attended the Winter Seeds Reunion in New York for a weekend of re-connection, dialogue, and panel discussions.
The group heard from a older American, Israeli, and Palestinian Seeds about ways to bring their Seeds of Peace experiences to college, and also how these experiences impacted their career trajectories.
The Seeds attended a powerful, eye-opening NYC Youth Poet Laureate Competition at the 92nd Street Y focused on race, violence, social justice, and socio-economic issues.
They also toured the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and held a dialogue session afterwards about terrorism and the US security state, foreign policy, and the post-9/11 world.
