School Violence
A joint project
between
CCRR and the
NCJW Research Institute for
Innovation in Education. Hebrew University
Funded by Yad
Hanadiv
The CCRR and The Institute propose to conduct a three year program that
begins with joint workshops for 20 Palestinian and Israeli school
principals. In parallel, we will carry out joint research on the topic
of school violence. A large field of literature exists that identifies
the connection between violence within schools and the social and
political contexts within which schools must work (Paulo Freire, Dr.
Thomas Gumpel, Dr. Hagit Gur Zeev, Rela Mazali). On the basis of this
research, this will help in monitoring and evaluation of this program,
Both organization will create and conduct a three year program of
intervention for ten Palestinian and Ten Israeli Schools. 20 Palestinian
and Israeli principals will take part in a series of workshops - 40
hours in the first year, divided into two workshops - that will enable
them to broaden their perspectives on questions of violence, and that
will provide them with tools to confront issues of violence within their
schools.
The whole program is conceived as a 3-year project, consisting of the
workshops and research. At the end of the three years, a handbook will
be produced and a joint conference held on the outcomes of the project
and the research.
Aims and goals of the project:
The primary aim of the project is to diminish the level of violence in
Palestinian and Israeli schools. The CCRR and The Institute will set out
to create and conduct a model of educational work with the following
objectives:
●
To provide teachers with tools to analyze the social and
political environment in which they and their students live, and to
teach them concepts of critical pedagogy that make the connection
between the students' social reality and their patterns of behaviour in
the classroom.....
