Shireen Najjar was born and raised in the cooperative village of Wahat al-Salam/ Neve Shalom, the only community where  Palestinian citizens of Israel and Jews have for thirty years chosen to challenge reality and to live, work and educate their children together based on equality. It has a bilingual (Arabic-Hebrew), bicultural School and the internationally-renowned School for Peace, where Shireen works as a facilitator for groups in conflict and young leaders. She invites participants to try to face themselves, their reality, their actions and their influence/responsibility.  The village has been nominated five times for the Nobel Peace Prize.
