Key Outcomes
The retreat suggests that Brandeis initiatives and programs can nurture strong intercommunal relationships and make possible productive conversations and work together among people who might be radically separated in their home communities. Students felt a sense of hopefulness and empowerment to act together in the face of the serious challenges to coexistence efforts that arise from current actions on the ground in their home region. The challenge for the future is to provide further opportunities for students to work intensively together on a variety of issues, in order to help nourish the qualities of candor and articulateness that will enable them to become leaders in their communities in the future.
