The Palestinian Center for Research and Cultural Dialogue

The Palestinian Center for Research and Cultural Dialogue (PCRD) was founded in 2003 by a group of Palestinian academics in the Palestinian territories. It is perceived that the center will play an essential role in bridging the gap between different peoples and cultures towards a just and lasting peace in the region. PCRD also works on disseminating civilized and peaceful concepts of resolving conflicts within the Palestinian society. The PCRD thinks highly of the youth’s capacity in changing things on the ground. That is why we mainly work and focus on youth issues so that they participate in the development process.

PCRD mission

The center’s mission is to promote dialogue between social, political and cultural groups as a means of conflict resolution, accepting differences between peoples, citizenship, and respecting other’s convictions. The center with this belief, directs its projects and programs to young men and women from different social, economic and political affiliations, and exerts utmost efforts to employ modern technology in disseminating democracy in this globalized world. The philosophy of the PCRD is mainly based on the rights of people to civic education, intellectual education and expression of opinion.
