- Press Release from the Jewish-Arab Centre for
Peace.
-
- Since
the beginning of the school year the Children Teaching Children – CTC
program has been in operation at (among others) the Reali School in Haifa and the Nuns of Nazareth School. In the framework of the workshop
process, the students meet once a week with professional facilitators from the Jewish-Arab Center for Peace at Givat Haviva, to deal with
subjects of personal identity, collective identity, the character of the State, and the complexity of the relations between Jews and Arabs
in Israel. The program is taught by teachers who have been specially trained in the program, and the work with CTC
facilitators for these groups began last September.
-
- The
program is adapted to each uni-national group specifically, and is intended to develop consciousness, belonging and involvement amongst the
students.
-
- On
Tuesday, May 7th, 200 pupils from these two schools will meet together for a special day at Givat Haviva – in spite of the
security and political situation in the country. We at Givat Haviva wish through this activity to send a message regarding the importance of
dialogue especially at this time. The pupils will meet in getting-acquainted workshops followed by workshops in the arts, including
sculpting in earth, sculpting in plaster, fine arts, drama, photography, sculpting in metal fibres. The children will work in bi-national
groups facilitated by the CTC
staff at Givat Haviva.
-
- The
day will conclude in small bi-national discussion groups, followed by an exhibit of the children’s artworks. This encounter is the first
meeting between the two groups this year; an additional meeting is scheduled in Haifa on May 27th. Meetings between the teaching
staffs as well as the uni-national activity in each of the two schools, will continue as scheduled through the end of the school year, as
well as next year.
