Tawasul is a non-profit, non governmental organisation which was founded in 2002 by a group of grass-root Palestinian peace and development activists. The aim of Tawasul is to create and develop non-violent communication between all levels of society, based on our conception of society and through a process starting at the individual level and then reaching all layers of the complex network in which every individual lives and thrives.

Our conception of society:

Is a democratic and pluralistic society in which everybody is attempting to meet their own needs. It is a society which builds on people’s strengths, deals with confusions, confronts hatred, promotes tolerance and fosters cooperation and communication. In this vision, people are encouraged to use non-violent communication to create better understanding, acknowledge people’s strengths and limitations and to participate in the different disciplines of economics, education, justice and health.

Mission :

Is to translate our vision into real changes and opportunities in order to make a difference through fostering non-violent communication, not as merely a passing interest but as a way of life. We aim to inspire a new generation of peacemakers who will transform themselves and their local communities by adopting a positive outlook and interpreting the concept of “peace” so that the prosperity and well-being of individuals and families are promoted at both the social and political level. Tawasul focuses mainly on youth and women.
