Abstract
This paper raises some reservations on peace education via drama. It re-examines the value of drama projects aimed at peace education in light of the renewed outburst of war between Israelis and Palestinians. This work examines the “contact model” of solving problems - meaning, Jews and Arabs co-working on theatre performances. The author criticises this model and points to its dangers and pitfalls. A new direction towards peace and what could be tried to work on in drama/theatre workshops is explored. [Author abstract, ed]
