Members of the Palestinian Rights Committee spoke to Tech Valley High School® sophomores recently as the students explored a pathway to peace in the Middle East.

The May 16 visit by the Albany-based group was one of three from stakeholders in the Middle East peace process - a Jewish entertainer and educator will be at TVHS on Tuesday and representatives of a Christian peace group visited the class on May 17.

TVHS students are undertaking the Middle East Peace Conference Project, in which they divide into project teams and represent different countries in the region to negotiate peace.

During the visits by the guests, students learn about the various perspectives on the problems in the Middle East - from terrorism to economic inequity - and how each guest believes the problems can be solved.
