The Toward Right Relationship with Native Peoples program supports Indigenous Water Protectors who are literally standing in the way of oil & gas pipelines, dams & destructive mining.

• FPT Europe: The peace work of the new FPT Europe Team is primarily focused in the post-Soviet Union areas of Ukraine and the North Caucasus. FPT Europe was delighted to welcome AVP-Palestine and AVP-Sulaimaniya (northern Iraq) and change our name to FPT Europe and Middle East. We will share our work Ukraine, North Caucasus, Palestine, Israel ad Kurdistan. Identities in these regions can be a mix of nationalities, ethnicities, languages, genders and classes. Any of these factors can become the basis for identifying others as enemies or developing stereotyped negative self-images. Programs like Alternative to Violence Project, Creating Cultures of Justice and Peace, and Power of Goodness are bridges for these divides and help participants relate to others as human beings with shared hopes and concerns. The insistent bravery of Palestinians and Israelis sustains our faith for justice and peace in the Middle East. Kurdish youth from northern Iraq rise above daily pressures to rebuild their communities. Unable to depend on the government or economy, we have turned to creating our own youth support network founded on AVP principles.
