Monday, October 22, 2007
Dear Friends
On January 4-5, 2008 IPCRI (the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information) will be convening a two-say workshop on peace education. The Workshop will bring together peace educators, curricula writers, encounter facilitators, peace studies practitioners, conflict resolution practitioners, mediators, and activists from academia, research sector, governmental and community organizations and others from Israel, Palestine and beyond.
The Workshop will be a tremendous opportunity for dialogue, debate and visioning with collaboration and cooperation between the body of theory and practice. The Workshop will be meeting grounds for dialogue and mutual learning from the field of peace education from the viewpoint of academia and from the field of practioners. The Workshop will raise critical issues and acquire new insights into the profound peace education developments in Israel, Palestine and around the world. Furthermore, the Workshop will provide an excellent opportunity to build connections across multi-disciplinary sectors.
Like our Conference last year in Turkey, this workshop will be facilitated by the participants themselves. The subjects on which we will concentrate can relate to any of the following:
Main Themes for the Workshop
- Moving from a Culture of hate to a culture of peace
- Resources for peace educators
- Peace education curricula – research and development
- Coping with existing curricula in Israel and Palestine
- Using media in peace education
- Using the arts in peace education
- Virtual Peace education – using the internet in peace education
- Peace education in the informal educational arena – youth centers, youth movements, clubs, etc.
- Institutionalizing peace education – confronting the formal education systems
Participation – Call for Abstracts
IPCRI is calling on potential participants to submit an abstract for making a presentation at the workshop. This is not a formal academic conference therefore; abstracts will be evaluated on a wider basis than the normal academic criteria. We are looking for creative, exciting and innovative approaches to peace education.
