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.
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
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?
