Congratulations to our graduating classes of Change Agents! The end of 2018 and beginning of 2019 have seen many cohorts graduate from Change Agents programs in their fields— engineers, environmentalists, politicians, and city planners.
Meanwhile, Palestinian and Israeli mental health professionals are now meeting as part of Building Peace and Resilience, a training course designed to improve trauma response skills and aid in reconciliation between groups. USAID was directed by President Trump to withdraw all funding from all at the end of January, that work with Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and their continued studies have been a matter of uncertainty for the SFP. Despite this, the teachers and students of Building Peace and Resilience are hard at work creating a better and more humane future.
Their dedication is an inspiring example of what SFP trainees and graduates bring to the world— persistence, understanding, and a sincere drive to improve the chances of building bridges, reducing conflict and making a future for Israel and Palestine’s children.

Events and curricula developed by the School for Peace continue to touch lives! This August, Palestinian and Israeli mental health professionals met, worked together, and learned from each other during a conference on facilitating to groups in conflict. The conference was filled with workshops, practice sessions, and presentations designed to strengthen participants’ strategies and skill-sets.
This is just one of the many events that the School for Peace develops to target emerging professionals. Whatever their field, the SFP seeks to strengthen participants’ skills and foster a generation of peace-seeking practitioners sensitive to the issues in their world and and better equipped to work with individuals and groups. Meet-ups like this allow these change agents to develop their professional and personal networks, build skills, and increase their capacity to change their world.

Social Media Skills for Women
By Dr. Nava Sonnenshein | Director

the SFP has initiated a new course for women dealing with social media. The voices of Palestinian and Jewish Israeli women are not sufficiently heard in the field of Arab-Jewish relations and the conflict.
In Israel / Palestine, where public opinion is heavily influenced by both social media and conventional media, the arena is dominated by militant men who dictate a violent and aggressive discourse.
Participants will acquire practical skills for creating social media materials such as videos and posters in order to promote these in the media. Top women journalists have already supported the course and will participate as lecturers.
