In this book, Elizaveta Firsova-Eckert examines the effects of German-Israeli youth exchange programs on political education processes related to the Middle East conflict. To answer the research question, a mixed-method approach was used to develop a suitable measurement instrument, which was then applied to former participants and interested individuals in the exchange program. The data from this nationwide sample were analyzed using statistical group comparisons to identify potential impacts of the exchange.The results of the study show positive effects of the youth exchange on many of the examined political education processes. In particular, positive impacts were found regarding the expansion of participants’ conceptual understanding of the Middle East conflict. The study also demonstrates that current events in the Middle East conflict have a significant influence on the political education processes measured.
