European-Palestinian-Israeli Trilateral Dialogue

The European-Palestinian-Israeli Trilateral Dialogue Initiative (EPICON) seeks to facilitate encounters between Israeli and Palestinian peace camp supporters and European opinion leaders with the aim of reassessing the political realities in Israel and Palestine, exploring what a meaningful, joint engagement towards a just political solution should look like, as well as developing actionable steps for European states to support such a process.

Throughout the year 2025, various formats of engagement – both publicly and behind closed doors – will be implemented in all 27 EU member states, engaging representatives of the political, media and civil society sphere on a national level. EPICON feeds into the European context by cooperating with leading local and regional think-tanks, consultants and experts with the aim of creating a broader engagement and renewed momentum for supporting a peaceful solution in Israel and Palestine. This way, EPICON will establish a comprehensive network of like-minded stakeholders across Israel, Palestine and Europe that can share insights and collaborate on shared objectives.

During the course of the initiative, EPICON will furthermore create exposure and visibility for Palestinian and Israeli voices and their ongoing efforts towards peace by facilitating meetings with media representatives in the respective EU-countries as well as through the production of an EPICON documentary movie and podcast series.

EPICON is implemented by the Candid Foundation with the financial support of the European Union.
