This week marked one year since Middle Meets’ first trip to Rome.
During that visit, David Ullendorff and Felix Chamberlain created In the Middle - a film documenting the difficult and honest conversations shared by program participants.
“In the Middle” has been screened at events across the United States.

Hoy, estudiantes israelíes, palestinos y estadounidenses — pertenecientes a @georgetownuniversity y @telavivuni — pudieron presenciar la audiencia del Papa León XIV y dialogar sobre la importancia de construir la paz en Medio Oriente.
El Papa les dejó un mensaje que inspira y atraviesa fronteras: 🗣️“Todos tenemos que construir puentes para lograr la paz.”
Una frase que invita a seguir construyendo juntos la cultura del encuentro, entendiendo que de la diversidad nacen los puentes que unen y sanan las diferencias.
Porque la diversidad no divide: enriquece.

Meaning Meets Us youth encounter with Pope Leo XIV: a call to build peace. 🕊️
Today, Israeli, Palestinian, and American students — from @georgetownuniversity and @telavivuni — attended the audience with Pope Leo XIV and reflected together on the importance of building peace in the Middle East.
The Pope left them with an inspiring message that transcends borders 🗣️ “We all need to build bridges for peace.”
A phrase that invites us to keep building together the culture of encounter, recognizing that from diversity emerge the bridges that unite and heal our differences. Because diversity doesn’t divide: it enriches.
This was the closing of Meaning Meets Us📢
Today, young Palestinians, Israelis, and Americans brought their voices to Pope Francis and shared their conclusions on meaning and peace💬
After days of dialogue, art, and reflection, they reaffirmed that the first step to building hope in times of division is to meet each other.

Middle Meets Q&A 🎙️
This time, we asked our alumni, Yehonatan and Ameer: How do you consume news about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
Navigating information about the conflict during these times can be overwhelming. Yehonatan and Ameer share how they choose their sources, filter narratives, fact-check, and deal with bias.
The Middle Meets Board held a special meeting with Hady Amr, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Israeli and Palestinian affairs in the U.S. Department of State 👇🏻
This week, students from TAU, HUJI, and Notre Dame met online to discuss the term genocide, sharing diverse perspectives while engaging in a sensitive conversation.
