Conflict Transformation in the Palestinian Areas (2013-2015)
The Palestinian areas have many challenges due to different factors like political hardships through generations, economical difficulties, instability, cultural challenges in view of women, different taboos, shame and honor and others. Among Palestinian children and youth, there is much violence and behavioural issues. Many times parents are themselves traumatized and don't know how to deal with their children except by using violence. The governmental Palestinian school is the school for those who can not afford a private school, and they face many challenges, for example violence and hyperactivity, low motivation, sexual malpractices, superiority issues, limited involvement of parents among other issues. The Conflict Transformation in the Palestinian Areas (CTPA) has been working along side the Ministry of Education (MOE) to contribute towards a goal that is part of the Palestinian national strategy, but that the Palestinian government have not set aside any resources to achieve themselves. Each school has a counsellor, shared with another school. The project has the goal to implant more acceptance and support towards the idea of valuing differences, empowering Palestinians personally to build a healthy holistic life; mentally, socially, psychologically, physically and spiritually. Futher, it aims to equip and motivate to reconcile with those different than themselves – in and beyond their own community.
