R-MET®
Reitman Middle East Trainings

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict -- and the conflicts in the Middle East more generally -- seem intractable and confusing.  Thoughtful people ask themselves two fundamental questions: How did we get here? What can we do now? 

R-MET®is a training consortium that answers these questions by offering a series of informational workshops, presentations and facilitated dialogues on topics related to the Middle East.

R-MET® Training Modules

Best Practices in Palestinian-Israeli Mediation
After examining the US role, this workshop explores ways in which third parties can work with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, both domestically and in the region itself.

Ten Principles for the Middle East
How can we think beyond today's grim headlines to envision a Middle East at peace?  In this interactive workshop, we explore a multi-track approach to issues in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict which goes beyond negotiating political agreements.

The Issues of the Settlers
However halting, the settlement relocation process is underway.  Based on his consultations with the Israeli Ministry of Justice, the presenter asks:  What would a successful settlement relocation process look like?  Could it be one of the keys to a lasting Middle East peace?
