Project Objective

To highlight the importance of Palestinian-Israeli cooperation through the endorsement of internationally-acclaimed athletes and celebrities, who serve as "Ambassadors for Peace" in their own communities, and in parallel, act as inspiring role models for the young participants of the Peres Center's projects.
Visits and endorsements from internationally acclaimed athletes and celebrities help to direct attention to the peacebuilding projects of the Peres Center, thereby spreading the message of peace and coexistence. Additionally, these visits are an exciting highlight for the "Twinned Peace Sport Schools" participants, who welcome the opportunity to meet these role models.
 
Recent visits have included:

All of these visits created much anticipation and excitement, and consequently attracted wide media coverage, with many articles appearing both in the local and international media.
