Peace Project (english version)
Among the objectives proposed by the CIF Association and therefore also the Italian section, th

That is to directly experience the possibility of mutual understanding between people belonging to populations in conflict with each other.

In fact, after the various delegations (starting with the Israeli one) agreed, the participation of Palestinian and Israeli representatives in subsequent conferences and exchange programs was practically promoted.

This Association also carries out numerous other activities in support of respect for legality and for social development.
