Dear Friends,
WELCOME

This blog is dedicated to finding different ways to use the Internet to improve intergroup relationships. It is my belief that the Internet can play a pivotal role in helping to bring an end to intergroup conflict and bring new vitality into intergroup relations. This is a relatively new and very exciting field and we hope that this blog will serve as a meeting point for everyone who is interested in this venture. So please feel free to contribute, papers, information on articles, research, creative ideas, and opinions.
We welcome your contribution and look forward to reading it!

Many thanks

Yair
