Abstract

Eastern Mediterranean International School (EMIS) was founded by Oded Rose in September 2014. The School was specialised in teaching values, nurturing peace and making world a better place in the conflict region - Israel. EMIS was providing an international context by bringing students from both side of conflict - Palestine and Israel together, with a wider group of students across the world. The founders claimed that education was surely the solution for peace in the conflict regions. Within second year of the operations EMIS had made profound positive impact on student's lives. The journey to foster peace through education was not without challenges for EMIS. Even before inception, at planning stage itself, EMIS was criticised as the school for elite and 'the presence of such school in Israel will spur the Israeli elite to abandon the public education system at taxpayer expense'. Managing funds to run operation smoothly was another challenge for the school in addition to political challenge to scale it further. Would EMIS be able to overcome the challenges and scale it further to foster peace in conflict driven regions?
