Atidna is a dialogue and collective action group to increase mutual understanding and unity on campuses in the US between those invested in Israel-Palestine.

As living memory of the Holocaust is coming to an end, we’re offering a unique fellowship spanning the breadth of generations, history & struggle.

We encourage creativity and provide sensitivity training, funding, and coaching.
