About Us  Since 2004, Children of Abraham has been facilitating dialogue and connecting Muslim and Jewish young people from all over the world using a range of emerging online technologies. The program features guided thematic exploration of each other’s communities using Wiki, photography and discussion boards aimed at building mutual respect through understanding. Many of the graduates of the program have been motivated by the experience to write newspaper articles, do radio interviews, form local interfaith groups, put on photography exhibitions and recruit peers for future programs in the USA, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Iran and Egypt. The grassroots efforts of all the participants, enabled and nurtured by the online community, have served to broaden our reach. We are currently based out of Paris building the foundation for two ambitious projects in partnership with the Government of France. See the audio-visual demo for the first, Generation Dialogue, in French or English. |
