Accessible and Free Dialogue Education

The Listening from the Heart dialogue curriculum, modelled on the work of the Parents Circle, is now free for every educator, clergy member and facilitator.

Two years ago, we launched Listening from the Heart, a transformational dialogue education program modeled after the work of the Parents Circle.

Since then, we have worked with hundreds of college campuses, high schools, and communities of faith to navigate the deeply personal and urgently needed conversations about Israel and Palestine.

We are proud to announce that the Listening from the Heart curriculum is now free for everyone. Our goal is simple: put dialogue tools into the hands of as many educators, clergy, community leaders, and facilitators as possible.

What teachers told us

Earlier this year, we ran a training session for a large group of high school teachers. Here is some of their feedback:

95%
Would recommend this training to other teachers.
98%
Felt the program introduced classroom-ready tools for fostering empathy and understanding.
99%
Said it helped them personally generate empathy and understanding for the opposing viewpoint.
Watch: Israeli and Palestinian Parents Circle members on Listening from the Heart

We know this program works for Palestinians and Israelis living in the heart of the conflict, and that it works for people living thousands of miles away.

At the heart of peacebuilding is learning how to listen. Will you join us by bringing these principles of peace into your classroom, workspace, or community?

These members won’t give up on peace.

We hope you’ll join them. Your gift supports their work across the U.S.
