This has involved photojournalist Angela Catlin, and journalist Billy Briggs making a 10-day visit to Israel/Palestine, in December 2008, to photograph and interview the peacemaker groups, resulting in an exhibition and Feature Articles.

The Exhibition was shown at the Scottish Parliament, Tuesday 10 - Thursday 12 February 2009 - see the Photo Gallery - Middle East Festival Reception and Exhibition Viewing of the Peacemakers of Israel/Palestine Exhibition, Wednesday 11 February 2009, and was then shown at Out of the Blue, Edinburgh, from 23 February – Monday 2 March 2009.
