Children of Abraham

Between 2004 and 2008, Children of Abraham (CoA) facilitated dialogue and connected Muslim and Jewish young people from all over the world using a range of emerging online technologies. 245 alumni from 47 countries graduated from CoA’s Global Discovery Program.  The program featured guided thematic exploration of each other’s communities using Wiki, photography, and discussion boards aimed at building mutual respect through understanding. As a result of their experiences, many graduates of the program have been inspired to write newspaper articles, conduct radio interviews, form local interfaith groups, stage photography exhibitions, and recruit peers for future programs in the United States, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Iran, and Egypt.  The grassroots efforts of all the participants, enabled and nurtured by the online community, served to broaden CoA’s reach.  CoA was based out of New York and then Paris.

"

This book makes an all too rare and important point:  One of the distinguishing characteristics of social entrepreneurs is the way their actions and their example pave the way for peace.  Kaufman gives us multiple examples here to demonstrate that the kind of empathetic leadership exhibited by these social entrepreneurs builds an alternative to conflict and contributes to the stability and security of societies.”
