WRAP Supports AU Students at International Peace Conference

A team of students from American University’s 2013 Water, Cooperation, and Peace practicum recently returned from presenting at the August 11-15, 2014 International Peace Research Association (IPRA) Conference in Istanbul, Turkey.  The conference hosted 550 peace researchers from 94 countries and
explored a wide array of peacebuilding interests focused around the theme, “Uniting for Peace: Building Sustainable Peace Through Universal Values.”

WRAP was among the supporters of the Water, Cooperation, and Peace practicum from its outset, as the group set out to research, collect data, and conduct field studies at project sites within Israel and the Palestinian West Bank.  The students presented the results of this research, also captured in the group’s 2013 report, during the Water and Conflicts panel at the IPRA conference.
