                        Webinar: Walking a Path to a World Beyond War: July 
27, 2021





                        World BEYOND War is pleased to cosponsor this event 
with Abraham Path Initiative .


                        How can walking lay a path for a world beyond war? 
The Abraham Path Initiative (API) has been developing walking trails in 
Southwest Asia (aka “the Middle East”) since 2007. This U.S.-based NGO 
promotes walking as a tool for economic development, intercultural 
experiences, and fostering friendships across the challenging divides of our 
times. When basic needs are met and people are seen in the fullness of their 
humanity, a foundation for fruitful engagement becomes possible. When people 
walk together toward a shared destination, their visions for what may be 
possible also align.

                        In this webinar, we explore the work, successes, and 
challenges of creating walking trails in a region known for conflict. We 
meet API’s executive director and it’s consultants in Palestine and Iraq. 
The conversation will be moderated by Salma Yusuf, Advisory Board Member of 
World BEYOND War, and Q&A facilitated by David Swanson, Executive Director 
of World BEYOND War.

                        World BEYOND War and the Abraham Path Initiative 
co-host this lively discussion on how stable, community-based tourism may be 
a pathway to peace, and how to get involved in future peace walks.
