Do you know how to listen from the heart?

[Shiri Ourian, Executive Director, American Friends of the Parents Circle - Families Forum]

Join us for the virtual launch of Listening from the Heart, fostering dialogue on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Dear John, Amidst the grim reality in Israel and Palestine, we invite you to join us for a glimmer of hope. Join us on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 2:00 PM Eastern for the virtual launch of Listening from the Heart . Over the last year, scores of North American universities, communities, and workplaces have reached out to us with one common plea for help. These communities have become divided and polarized around the Israeli and Palestinian conflict.  Friends and families have stopped talking to each other and schools can’t have real dialogue. In response, we developed a new peace education program, Listening from the Heart, in partnership with Georgetown University. The program is designed to foster empathy and dialogue between divided communities, using recorded testimonies of bereaved Israelis and Palestinians, along with a comprehensive facilitation guide, discussion questions and further resources. We are proud to say it’s been endorsed by the American Federation of Teachers. Join us for the virtual launch of Listening from the Heart on Wednesday, October 30th. The virtual event will explore what is included in the program and answer questions. You will get to hear from Jewish and Palestinian college students about how Listening from the Heart impacted their campus. Attendees will receive free access to Part I of the Facilitation Guide.

The Parents Circle – Families Forum is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization made up of more than 600 bereaved families. Their common bond is that they have lost a close family member to the conflict. But instead of choosing revenge, they have chosen a path of reconciliation.
