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
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.

We only have 90 beds in Tantur this time.
We need extra places for people to stay over in Jerusalem. Please indicate
