Sowohl in der akademischen als auch in der praktischen Literatur wird der Begriff Impact sehr weit gefasst. In Verbindung mit (uni-)direktionalen Beziehungen zwischen Variablen und methodologischen Rahmen, die auf einen positivistischen Ansatz ausgerichtet sind, wird der Begriff jedoch sehr viel enger ausgelegt. Eine solche verengte Konzeptualisierung ist problematisch insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit Initiativen, die interne, individuelle Veränderungen abzielen. Ich schlage daher vor, Impact neu zu konzeptualisieren, um menschliches Handeln anzuerkennen und Wandel ganzheitlicher erforschen zu können. Im Rahmen post-positivistischer qualitativer Forschung sollte der Begriff zurückerobert werden, da qualitative Methoden das Potenzial haben, ein dialogisches Verständnis von Impact und des intersubjektiven Kontextes, durch den Wandel entsteht zu erhellen.

In this article I explore the tensions that arise in the context of educational initiatives implemented by organizations that have both pedagogical and political aspirations. I draw on the work of Sadaka Reut, a veteran Jewish-Palestinian peace education organization, to highlight how the ideological commitments held by an organization working for structural equality can limit possibilities for openness to multiple perspectives and can thus serve as a barrier towards successfully achieving pedagogical aspirations, in particular Sadaka Reut's goal of educating towards a binational community of Jewish and Palestinian activists working in partnership. I also highlight the tension inherent in working simultaneously to help Jewish and Palestinian participants develop a strong sense of ethno-national identity; and to facilitate the development of a transcendent identity as activists in solidarity.

Studies of youth‐focused encounter initiatives have long focused on the potential of such endeavors to shift the attitudes of participants. In recent years, scholarship has begun t'o address whether encounters can shift behaviors, as well—particularly in terms of motivating continued engagement in peacebuilding and social change initiatives. Yet studies have not addressed the question of how this shift occurs, that is, what mechanisms lead from encounter participation to continued social change engagement. This article draws on long‐standing research with a veteran Israeli encounter organization, Sadaka Reut, to explore what is significant in making the participation–continued engagement link. Its analysis points to personalized learning and Sadaka Reut's binational framework as particularly salient, but also addresses the inherent tensions in an approach aiming to foster critical awareness among youth who are members of both the dominant and oppressed ethnonational groups in a long‐standing conflict context.
