Israel Center for Negotiation and Conflict Management
The Israel Center for Negotiation and Conflict Management (ICN) "was established in June 1996, by Yona Shamir at the Neaman Institute, Technion.
"On January 2000, the center became an independent, a registered not for profit organization and changed its name to “The Israel Center for Negotiation and Mediation (ICN)”." [1]
"In May 2004, the ICfC partnered with the Israel Center for Negotiation and Mediation in bringing together Israeli Jews, Palestinians, Druze, and Bedouins for advanced training in helping resolve the problems that contribute to the current conflict devastating the Middle East and to prevent their recurrence. The main sequence of training sessions took place under the leadership of the ICfC chair Hillel Levine; Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy professor Eileen Babbitt, Esquire; Resolve Advisors trainer Shirli Kirschner, a clinician and facilitator from Cambridge, Massachusetts; Dr. Pam Steiner; and from the Israel Center for Negotiation and Mediation, Director Yona Shamir. The twenty-two trainees were experienced members of agencies and foundations from the region, drawn from various cultural backgrounds. The training focused on gaining skills in mediating historic narratives to be prepared to serve as facilitators in resolving and reconciling the Jewish –Palestinian conflict in the years to come. Trainees have organized a management team chaired by Sarah Kreimer, which oversees cooperation of the group." [2]
