As we head into the new year, we know it’s been a difficult time. Still, we’ve continued to come together around dialogue, creativity, and our shared commitment to peace.

This year included meaningful moments of learning and exchange—from Social Canvas art workshops with EMIS students to a June educational day with the Forum for Regional Thinking, and a hands-on negotiation course led by Dr. Sapir Handelman that sparked the idea for a student-led Negotiation Club.

These moments of curiosity, reflection, and exchange remind us why this work matters. Thank you for being part of this work. We wish you a new year filled with strength, insight, and hope.
