Yaser was born and raised in Gaza, Palestine and experienced the violent conflict in the region since he was a child and lost family members during the conflict. He studied at Al-Azhar University of Gaza and in 2005 came to Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation in Ireland to work in developing the Middle East Programme. He has an MA in Peace and Conflict Resolution Studies and continues to facilitate peace and youth projects and education programs in Ireland North and South.

This Tuesday, he will speak to UCD LawSoc about his life and experiences growing up in conflict.
