By School For Peace director | Director
School for Peace (SFP) is redoubling efforts to resource communities throughout the
region and the globe. This spring, SFP will lead courses at Ben-Gurion University,
Hadassah Academic College, Tel Aviv
University, and Ruppin Academic College for students seeking to bring conflict resolution
skills into their academic training. For many years, SFP has taught doctors, nurses,
psychologists, human rights lawyers, and other
professional cohorts to practice empathetic dialogue with each other and with clients.
The SFP is also providing special training for the staffs of health organizations in the
region, including facilities in Beersheva, Haifa, and Rehovot. And, the school continues to lead dialogues on Zoom for Israelis and Palestinians living abroad and grappling with the grief, sadness, and anger of this moment. These virtual sessions have taken place in Germany,
Norway, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Turkey, Spain, and Switzerland. The school’s director, Dr. Roi Silberberg, says that he has never felt the need for the SFP more than now: “We will not succumb to the darkness of quietude, and the chilling distance of alienation. We will maintain the hard-won trust between the Palestinian and Jewish graduates of our many SFP programs, harness their collective power, and disseminate it outwardly into the world.”
