Children of Abraham

Between 2004 and 2008, Children of Abraham (CoA) facilitated dialogue and connected Muslim and Jewish young people from all over the world using a range of emerging online technologies. 245 alumni from 47 countries graduated from CoA’s Global Discovery Program.  The program featured guided thematic exploration of each other’s communities using Wiki, photography, and discussion boards aimed at building mutual respect through understanding. As a result of their experiences, many graduates of the program have been inspired to write newspaper articles, conduct radio interviews, form local interfaith groups, stage photography exhibitions, and recruit peers for future programs in the United States, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Iran, and Egypt.  The grassroots efforts of all the participants, enabled and nurtured by the online community, served to broaden CoA’s reach.  CoA was based out of New York and then Paris.
