This week we are ending our Grassroots Scaling up program. It has been a really great course, although I feel like I could still spend another month analyzing this material. It's interesting that I haven't come across any specialized courses in conflict prevention and peace building and university, but strategic studies is sometimes offered as a class...
Anyways, it's been a fun filled few weeks of work and learning.
This Friday I am again heading out with the SFP to do some workshops in the West Bank. The professor from the UMASS course will also be coming with us on this trip. One of the change agents groups that the SFP works with are journalists and we're headed out to meet a workshop group to talk about reporting and media perceptions of the conflict. The staff of the SFP are having me take the lead this weekend, wanting much of the conversations to be in English. It would be an understatement to say that I am feeling nervous. Stay tuned.
I have been to Bethlehem ounce before, but only on quick trip, so I am looking forward to going back!
