Reducing Stereotypes Between two Conflicting Groups: The Case of a Palestinian-Israeli Youth Group Project Evaluation Report

Abstract: This study aimed to assess the direct influence of the project in such areas as values, life goals, stereotypes and general attitudes. The assumption was that bringing students together to work and address neutral issues, through an intensive and ongoing process over a week, may promote the development of friendships and recognition of the other from different ethnic groups, thus changing previously-held perceptions and opinions. The study showed that in most of the areas examined by the study, no significant influences or effects were identified. In other words, participation in the project does not seem to have led to a reduction of the level of stereotypes held by the participant groups or to change attitudes towards the other.
