The Solutions Not Sides programme is broken down into three parts, with parts 2 and 3 delivered in the same session. Teachers must confirm they are able to run the first part for their students before their booking, and attend a briefing to go over the materials for the first session. If teachers are able to, we strongly recommend they opt for all parts, either with students over one year or multiple years in order to get the full benefit of all educational elements that we are offering.
The educational elements which Solutions Not Sides workshops provide are:
•
Humanising encounters
•
Diverse narratives
•
Critical-thinking skills
PART 1 EXPLORATION:
The students engage with our short video, with Palestinians and Israelis talking about what the history of this region means to them (1 hour)
PART 2 EMPATHY:
They learn that pushing for a win-lose outcome will likely lead to lose-lose, and what that really means for the people affected through personal stories and Q&A (1 hour)
PART 3 EMPOWERMENT:
They undertake a solutions-focused exercise with the Israeli and Palestinian speakers, learning about the needs of both sides, and the importance of a win-win outcome (1 hour)
These sessions will ideally be run over two to three consecutive weeks, we can help you to schedule these and are flexible for booking sessions. It is vital that a teacher is present in all of the sessions for safeguarding and behaviour management. Work are ideal for groups of 30 students, however we can work with more.
There is a cost to the sessions, to cover the costs of staff, transport, and resources. However, if your school demonstrates a significant need for the programme, in order to respond to issues within the school, we may be able to run the sessions for free. More information is below.
Please note that in the event of a late cancellation, we reserve the right to invoice for the full cost of the session
The OLIVE BRANCH AWARD:
Now that you're about to book a session with SNS, why not join the
Olive Branch Award? The Olive Branch Award supports schools to become safe and empowered spaces to talk and learn about tough issues through focusing on four key skills; active listening, empathy, critical thinking, and social and emotional learning. Schools can join and collect leaves for their Olive Branch by participating in SNS sessions and exclusive new programmes for teachers and students. It is a holistic approach for the school to embed a culture of learning, listening, and reflection on Israel - Palestine over a three year period, achieving full SNS accreditation at the end.
