Press release in Arabic (English is below)
CADFA Press release 10/10/2016
One of CADFA's most exciting projects to date, building on school and youth links created since 2006, Teachers in Action 2016 began with a visit of 14 Palestinian teachers to the UK in January this year where they joined training workshops with UK teachers, visited their linked schools in England and Wales and presented their work at a conference on school twinning with Palestine held at the NUT headquarters in Euston.
The October visit to Palestine will be the mirror image of the January exchange and will include a residential, school visits and a final conference, but the context of the two countries is very different. UK teachers will learn about the pressures on schools and on children living under Israeli military occupation, while they concentrate on planning positive projects that help young people to learn about the young people in the other country and encourage hope.
Promoting such links is central to the work of the human rights charity CADFA which has been organising creative projects shared by young people, women and men in Britain and Palestine for over twelve years.

Meeting in London
Nice to meet some of the teachers travelling on the #CADFA #teachersinaction visit to Palestine. Here are some of the reasons they want to join the exchange:
I want to see what it's really like on the ground in Palestine.
I want to see how young people make sense of the situation. .. why do they go to school?!
I want to see how the situation is explained to them in school. What sort of political education do they get?
I want to set up the lol between my school and a Palestinian Ian school (it's got a bit weak!)
I'm interested in making our students aware of wider issues and to show them you CAN have a positive impact on the world
I want to come back with stories, issues, personal contacts
I'm interested in return visits (Palestinians coming to Britain)
I'M INTERESTED IN Palestine and its history
And how students see their future....

School year starts in Palestine and the UK... and the teachers' visit to Palestine is soon!
In CADFA (we've had 4 visits to Palestine and one to the UK in that space of time! See twinninginaction.blogspot.co.uk). T
Now we're looking forward to the return visit of the Teachers in Action project, at the end of October when the UK teachers have a holiday. Some of the UK teachers involved in the January visit will be among the group travelling to Palestine - hoping to see all of our old friends!!
Here is a picture from the January conference showing Adnan, headteacher from Assawiya, Kevin who is now the General Secretary of the NUT and Una, a Camden teacher, Chair of Camden NUT and a CADFA trustee.
