Clearwater Partners with Friends of the Arava Institute
Global Virtual Event to Promote Cooperation in the Middle East
Across the Middle East, despite great cultural, religious, and political divides, individuals and organizations are coming together to find common ground and friendship on platforms ranging from the environment to music to soccer and so much more.
With Earth and Each Other: A Virtual Rally for a Better Middle East is an internet-based event that will be broadcast on Sunday, November 14, 2010 at 1 pm eastern. Organizers expect thousands of people around the world to watch and participate through locally-organized rallies.
The rally is being presented by Friends of the Arava Institute (FAI), the U.S.-based organization which supports the ground-breaking Arava Institute. Created in 1996, the Arava Institute is an Israeli-based academic institution bringing together university-level students including Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians to study environmental issues in order to advance regional sustainability and build trans-boundary cooperation.
Join with friends in your community and like-minded people around the world for a once-in-a-lifetime gathering to support and celebrate the many cooperative and cross-border efforts between individuals at the grassroots level with the hopes of building a new, sustainable, and better Middle East. Clearwater is proud to be a partner for an innovative global event to promote person-to-person cooperation in the Middle East.
Emmy winner Mandy Patinkin and legendary folk singer Pete Seeger are among those slated to participate in an unprecedented global celebration of individuals and organizations advancing the cause of peace in the Middle East through cross-border cooperation.
