Israeli-Palestinian Workshop on Education for Peace
August 8-9, 2008
Tantur, Jerusalem
Following the workshops of January and April 2008 we are holding the
Third Peace Education Workshop that will once again 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.
This workshop will be organized by thematic tracks. Participants will
be able to attend workshops and sessions in any of the tracks (except
for 1) but for those who would like to focus more on a specific area
will be able to do so. The following are the four tracks:
* Academic Track
* Experiential Track
* International Humanitarian Law Education Track
* Veteran IPCRI Teachers (only for former participants in IPCRI's
peace education program)
The organization of the workshop on these tracks is based on the
recommendations of the last two workshops. We hope that it will enable
people to go deeper into the subject areas of their interest.
Registration is open through July 31, 2008.
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.
The deadline for abstract submission is July 24, 2008.
With the letter you will find:
* A registration form
* An abstract form
* A form for Palestinians who need a permit to enter Israel
Explanation about costs and finances:
Costs, budgets and finances
We have no funding for this workshop. In the last workshop, almost
everyone asked for a full or partial scholarship. We will try to raise
funds to support scholarships. We cannot promise anything at this
point. But our policy is that everyone who has something to contribute
and to benefit from participating will participate. Lack of funds will
not stand in the way.
We are requesting that everyone pay as much as you can afford taking
into account the real costs of this workshop:
The price for the workshop for 2 days, full board, a bed, and the
program is 500 NIS (about $145).
The price for the workshop for 2 days, meals and program without a bed
is 380 NIS (about $110)
These costs do not include any salary money for IPCRI staff who will be
working hundreds of hours preparing and planning the workshop.
We cannot afford to give a full scholarship to everyone who asks for it.
Therefore, we are asking everyone to pay something - as much as you can
afford and believe is appropriate.
We would request that you pay at the time of registration by check or
online. That will help us to plan our finances.
Sleeping arrangements
We only have 90 beds in Tantur this time. We need extra places for
people to stay over in Jerusalem. Please indicate on the registration
form if you need a bed or if you have other arrangements.
Please also indicate if you have extra places at your home in Jerusalem
for people to stay over.
