2017: Public Lectures

Peace, Trauma, and Religion in the Palestine-Israel Conflict

What is the role of religion in this conflict?

It is this question that motivated the VU-students of the Master specialisation on Peace, Trauma, and Religion to visit the context itself (March 2017), hosted by the Tantur Ecumenical Institute – on a hill in the outskirts of Jerusalem near Bethlehem.
