*What:* Israel and Palestine Week: A Look at Conflict Through Culture

The point of the week is to highlight the people who are the casualties of
the violence in the region. Therefore, we want to use our efforts to give
a homage to their rich cultures. Poetry is HUGE in Middle Eastern
tradition and we couldn't think of any other appropriate way to culminate
the week.
***Attendees are encouraged to bring poems relating to culture and conflict
they have written or read to share.***
*When:* Today, 6:00 PM
*Where: *Casque and Gauntlet
*~~Dinner Provided~~*
