Join the Irish Development Education Association (IDEA) for the second session of our 2025 webinar series: "Exploring Contemporary Crises and Issues through Global Citizenship Education "entitled "Palestine: educating about conflict-related violence, displacement, and justice".
Last year, we hosted one of our webinar sessions on educators’ responses to the ongoing crisis in Gaza. The event aimed to equip those working in Global Citizenship Education with ways foundational knowledge to bring Gaza into their work as educators. A recording of the session is available online.
This year we will explore the current war on Gaza but also the long-standing oppression and conflict in Palestine through the lens of peace and justice. What are our responsibilities as educators when we discuss conflict-related violence and displacement. What approaches can we use to do this? How do we ensure dignity and solidarity are central to our practice?
We will explore these concepts with a variety of speakers that can help contextualise those issues in the reality of the Palestinian struggle, and also hear from educator’s’ experiences to learn from their practice.
