Working in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) since 2004, MEET's goal is to educate and empower the next generation of Israeli and Palestinian leaders to take action towards positive social and political change in the Middle East.
[1] MEET teaches computer science, entrepreneurship, and leadership to excelling high school students (ages 15-17) over three years.
Run entirely in English, the program provides MEET's 200 high school students with the skills, values, and network to become "agents of change" in the region.
Students are evenly distributed across gender and nationality and gain a deeper understanding of each other and the conflict through working on pragmatic projects with real-world impact.
By connecting students through joint interests and opportunities to learn about each other, the program tries to empower young people.
