Teachers' meeting in Palestine

On Saturday, the teachers participating in the Teachers in Action project met in Abu Dis. That meant people travelling from all over the West Bank - and remember that in the current situation in Palestine, travel is not easy and checkpoints in particular can be dangerous.So it was great that people got there from  Bil'in and Hebron and other parts of the West Bank, though teachers from Jenin couldn't manage it unfortunately and their colleagues will be in touch with them.

As well as practical issues about travel etc, the teachers discussed the programme and what they are bringing with them to show the teachers from the UK - pictures, presentations about their experience as teachers and their schools and students. The teachers discussed the Palestinian day at the residential, what they want to get from school visits and public events and what they want to bring to them.

Meanwhile in the UK, teachers are on holiday for Christmas and the New Year (and hope they have a good holiday after a long, hard term) - and then, soon, the visit...
