"How can three weeks of  creating art projects possibly help calm a dispute that has confounded diplomats, politicians, and religious leaders for decades? Swampscott resident Debbie Nathan, founder and executive director of Artsbridge, has entertained versions of that question since 2008, when her nonprofit ran its first summer training session to promote understanding between Israeli and Palestinian teenagers, on 'neutral territory' at Beverly’s Endicott College."

CBS

"ArtsBridge brings Isreali & Palestinian teens together for 3 weeks of intensive dialog, arts & media making in hopes of the teens bringing their newfound insights back to their respective communities to inspire peaceful ways to work out issues.
