How many people will be on the Walk?
(Top)
We want the Walk to be a good social and educational experience, as well
as great exercise. We have therefore decided to limit the group to 40
Walkers plus appropriate staff. So sign up now before it is too late!!
I’m thinking of going but am hesitant to go alone? Who else is going or thinking of going?
(Top)
We expect many people to come on their own and others to come in pairs
and or groups. Check out our list of
Walkers
section (coming soon). See other people who are walking. Maybe
you will find a long lost friend or classmate.
If I go alone will I have a hard time meeting other people?
(Top)
No !! Many Walkers come on their own and look forward to meeting new
people. We can almost guarantee you will have some new friends before
you leave, whether you come alone or with a group.
Do I have to be an expert walker?
(Top)
No. You don’t have to be an expert Walker. Any average person in
good health can do the Walk.
Tell me more about the political message behind the Walk.
(Top)
The State of Israel was created in 1948 but the Palestinian state has yet to be
created. The Green Line border set in the armistice agreements of
1949 marks the line that designates the basis of the future border
between Israel and Palestine. Since the beginning of the
occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem following the June 1967
war, the green line border has been gradually disappearing.
Walk the green line is a political
statement aimed at marking the line where the future border should be so
that Israeli-Palestinian peace can emerge and develop.
What is the
route of the Walk? How much will be walk each day?
Where
will we sleep? (Top)
Who’s leading the Walk? (Top)
The Walk will be led by a Licensed Tour Guide, and by staff from
IPCRI.
Are we just going to Walk, all day, every day?
(Top)
No. This is more than just a Walk. Each day will have
educational-political programs as well. We will stop at various points
during the day to learn about the areas where we are walking. In
addition to our tour guide, we will visit various interesting Israeli
and Palestinian personalities along the way. We will also meet
with Israelis and Palestinians who are working for peace. We will see
first hand the Israeli security barrier in both of its forms - fences
and wall. We will spend time with a special focus on the
separation wall in Jerusalem.
What kind of support will be provided? (Top)
We will provide lots of support in addition to our Licensed Tour Guide
and our experienced tour leaders. The Walk will be accompanied by
multiple vehicles at all times, a lead vehicle, and other roving support
cars. The Walk staff will assist you in any way they can; food and water
stops, first aid, waiting while you rest and moral support and
encouragement. This is not an endurance test, so if you need a break
from walking, you can jump into the sag wagon and get help catching up to
the rest of the group.
