In October 2003 the termination of the PIE Project Team of AEGEE was agreed within the team and with the Comité Directeur of AEGEE-Europe. The next activity within AEGEE with respect to this issue (Israeli-Palestinian conflict) will be organised by AEGEE-Amsterdam in cooperation with other organisations that have been partly cooperating with the PIE Project Team for the organisation of former conferences. For more information regarding the next conference please visit http://www.aegee-amsterdam.nl.

MISSION STATEMENT:
The “PIE Project Team” within the European student organization AEGEE aims to alleviate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by supporting and encouraging intercultural dialogue between Palestinians, Israelis and Europeans (hence “PIE”). The team is a result of an IPWG conference concerning the conflict in August 2002 in Hamburg, Germany, which concluded that student projects can alleviate the conflict primarily by supporting a direct dialogue between the parties of the conflict with a European presence. The project team thus includes students from all three parties. In order to achieve the above-mentioned aims, the main tasks of the project team are to organize future conferences and to co-ordinate other projects involving Palestinian, Israeli and European students resulting from such conferences or ongoing discussion between them.
