The International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life of Brandeis University, brought its Coexistence Initiative to CCTV. In cooperation with Crossing Borders (Jordan), Givat Haviva (Israel), and the Palestinian House of Friendship (PNA) the intiative is implementing the Middle East Youth Leaders Exhange Program to build capacity with youth leaders for cross-border community projects.

Ten participants from Jordan and Israel created a series of personal narratives, learned about each other, and gained insight into the conflict in the Middle East. Their digital stories were produced with the guidance of Storytelling Producer Natasha Freidus and CCTV Production Coordinator Sean Effel. Sadly, the Palestinian group was not able to attend due to the curfews but did participate by telephone and internet, but in August 2004 one Palestine delegate visited separately and produced a story as well. The following eleven videos are their stories.
