Responding to Questions on Israel-Palestine
This document has been created to help schools and other educational bodies respond to student questions on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and topic as a wider whole.
Solutions not Sides is a British educational charity that brings Israeli and Palestinian peacebuilders into the classroom. Since 2010, we have been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through an exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.
As educators, we will uphold the right of young people to learn about political issues in an impartial space. We will keep that space free from hate, inequality and violence. We will teach skills of critical thinking, communication, active listening and conflict resolution so they can learn to navigate these issues for themselves.
