“If I am not for myself, who
will be for me?
But if I am only for myself,
who am I?
And if not now, when?”
Hillel,
a Jewish sage
“‘This is myself and this is
another.’
Be free of this bond which
encompasses you about,
And your own self is thereby
realised.”
Saraha,
a Buddhist sage
TJYE, the Tibetan/Jewish Youth Exchange introduces
a new kind of peace process for leaders of tomorrow. The process of Peer
Education And Cultural Exchange.
Through sharing
peer-led informal education techniques, Tibetan and Jewish youth have been
supporting each other to find new ways to engage with their identity, foster
understanding and consider their role in the world.
Our pilot project
cost £30,000. Run by young people, for young people, TJYE organised two youth
camps in India, sent eight young people on international exchange trips as guest
youth leaders, and organised interfaith dialogues and inter-cultural events for
their wider communities. Now we wish to take our work forward.
Now is the time to work for PEACE
Live your heritage, share
our vision, invest in a common purpose
