3-4 June 2005

Sabanci University Istanbul, Turkey

Oslo and Its Aftermath: Lessons Learned from Track Two Diplomacy workshop funded by the United States Institute of Peace, Sabanci University, and the Moynihan Institute at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University will be held on 3-4 June in Istanbul. The workshop will bring together the Israeli, Palestinian, and international organizers of track two initiatives. Participation is by invitation only. The goals of the workshop are: 

1. To better understand the ‘theories of conflict transformation’ that underlie the work of organizers of Track II initiatives between Israelis and Palestinians
2. To better understand the strategies used by organizers to transfer the outputs of Track Two work beyond the participants of the initiative
3. To consider the conditions and contexts that facilitate transfer
4. To explore how participants assess the impact of their own work and what they have found to be useful to date.
