Sharaka is a nonprofit organization born from the Abraham Accords that strives to build the foundations of a peaceful Middle East through person-to-person diplomacy and cultural exchange. With a history of bringing Israelis to Bahrain, Morocco and the UAE, and taking delegations from those countries both to Israel and to Auschwitz, Sharaka has shined a powerful light on the ability for human-to-human exchange to dismantle harmful narratives and lay the groundwork for a shared future.

Sharaka is bringing its authentic storytelling and mission of peace-building through shared humanity to Pittsburgh. Sharaka believes that by valuing cultural differences and celebrating shared values we can collectively lay the groundwork for a long-term future of coexistence. With a delegation of Muslims, Christians and Jews from Bahrain, Israel and Morocco, Sharaka will model the power of interfaith and international friendships in bringing about a hopeful future for people of all religions throughout the Middle East. We welcome your curiosity and your questions while we grapple with a heartbreaking war in the Middle East. While it may be easier to entrench in our respective religious, cultural, political and national camps – please join us in forging an alternative path built on the radical coexistence of the diverse people most directly impacted by the conflict. This is a community education event.
