How to Talk About Palestine

This workshop helps participants hone their skills when talking about Palestine by offering communication tips on how to engage in such conversations, and by building participants’ confidence to know how to respond to various arguments. Through facilitating a safe discussion space, we go through a variety of recurring talking points regularly heard in the media and the wider public conversation, and we collectively analyse these arguments and how to respond to them.
