Following the murder of Emil Greenzweig in a peaceful demonstration against the war in Lebanon, the founders of the Adam Institute, educators and public figures from across the Israeli political spectrum, were determined to prevent the recurrence of such incidents and in 1986 they founded the Adam Institute for Democracy and Peace in memory Emil Greenzweig. Established as an independent, non-profit organization to promote education for democracy and peace, the Adam Institute teaches the principles of democracy, focusing on breaking down stereotypes and teaching non-violent methods of conflict resolution. The Adam Institute reaches over 16,000 participants including teachers and students, Arabs and Jews and international participants, immigrants and native-born, religious and secular, from all walks of life and all economic groups throughout the country. Trainers from varied backgrounds teach members of their respective communities the innovative curriculum of games and exercises using the Adam Institute's unique methodology. Programs range in duration from one day to a full year.
Today's Situation"The army that will defeat terrorism doesn't wear uniforms, or drive Humvees, or calls in air-strikes. It doesn't have a high command, or high security, or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism does battle quietly, clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It undermines military dictatorships and military lobbyists. It subverts sweatshops and special interests.Where people feel powerless, it helps them organize for change, and where people are powerful, it reminds them of their responsibility." ~~~~ Author Unknown ~~~~
