Enemies, Friends, and the Stories We Have Not Heard

5:30 Reception
6:15 Award Ceremony and Lecture

Elad Vazana is an educator, multi-narrative tour guide, artist, and experienced mediator and facilitator of successful face-to-face relationship building for social change. For the last 21 years, Elad has helped Palestinian and Israeli youth and adults — Muslims, Christians, Jews, and others — build trust while learning that “an enemy is one whose story we have not heard.”

While being a tutor guide, he emphasizes everyday human experiences including stories, music, the magic of nature, and visits to special places hidden from the crowds.
