Via Guardian Blog: Two students - one Israeli and one Palestinian - are writing diaries for EducationGuardian.co.uk. They're part of the Olive Tree peace project, which has funded 14 students from Israel and the occupied territories to live and study together in London.

Education reporter Polly Curtis more about the project here: Yael Litmanovitz and Firas Khalil react to the death of Yasser Arafat in their diary entries here. If you want to find out more about the Olive Tree scheme, its website is here.
