MEEI Peace Center

Founded by Archbishop Elias Chacour, Mar Elias Educational Institutions in Galilee play a pivotal role in promoting peace through cultural understanding, interfaith education, and community engagement. By bringing together students from diverse backgrounds, fostering dialogue, and emphasizing a common language of coexistence, these various schools at MEEI contribute to breaking down barriers and building mutual respect. The incorporation of peacebuilding curricula, cultural events, and leadership development programs equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary for constructive engagement in social and political challenges through research, advocacy, and partnerships with other educational institutions and organizations. The Peace Center at MEEI actively contributes to fostering a culture of peace in the region, reflecting a commitment to addressing local realities and building bridges between the various communities living in Galilee.
