The Palestinian organisation AEI operates in the Bethlehem, Ramallah and Hebron areas, providing community education in a broad variety of subjects, including computer programs, business administration and languages, with a particular focus on Palestinian youth. They also demonstrate non-violent alternatives in the Palestinian struggle and develop networks across social and religious borders to fight the growing sense of suffocation and closure. Media attention focusing more and more on the AEI affords the opportunity to present these possibilities to the rest of the world. They have kindly contributed the following articles translated to English, you can read more at their website http://www.aeicenter.org
