Live-in Conference
28th – 30th June 2009
Presented by the Centre for Dialogue, La Trobe University Bundoora, Melbourne

The Prospects for Peace in the Middle East Live-in Conference presents a unique opportunity for people aged 20 to 30 to explore the challenges and opportunities for conflict resolution in the Middle East with diplomats, eminent scholars and leading public figures. Participants will be drawn from the three Abrahamic traditions.

The conference will explore in depth several conflicts in the Middle East including those involving Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. Through lectures and powerpoint presentations by leading experts, question and answer sessions, small group discussions and simulation exercises the conference will provide an historical overview and an examination of the key issues in each conflict. Key questions that will be explored include: What are the prospects for peace in the Middle East? What role do the US, Russia and Europe take in this process? What is the role of civil society in the resolution of these conflicts? Can Australia play a constructive role in the Middle East peace process?
