Questions for Mariam Said

    In regards to the Knowledge is the Beginning project, what was your favorite memory of the project? In what ways were the interactions amongst its participants different from an orchestra of young people in other parts of the world? Have any of the program's participants crossed over into the political realm since its inception (when they were older, of course)? Watching this movie was really inspiring and I do agree with what the project is trying to accomplish. In a conflict as complicated as this, any positive dialogue is beneficial, before major leaps are taken to solve this issue baby steps have to be made first, this is a great start. I feel by reaching younger generations we are able to plant the seeds of future success in ending this issue.
    Another question for Mariam: Do you foresee transitioning this project into other realms? For example, not all kids have access to music, so perhaps a similar project involving sports, art, singing, etc. could prove beneficial in including more young people and bringing more youth into this dialogue. I feel using more mediums for spreading this message could bring more people in and have more of an affect on future political discussion.
