Problem:
The present media landscape is contributing to heightened tensions between Palestinian and Jewish communities by lacking direct accounts from victims, resulting in the failure to humanize complex conflicts, nurture empathy, and globally raise awareness, ultimately hindering a more comprehensive understanding of the human impact behind the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Solution:
With the creation of a new feature within the Spotify app, Stories to Ceasefire aims to foster empathy and understanding among users with limited knowledge or exposure to the human stories behind the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, offering an immersive experience connecting them with victim narratives, a multimedia timeline, activist insights, cultural parallels, and music tracks from Palestinian and Jewish artists.
