Roots & Resistance: Palestinian Narratives in Focus

This session highlights the importance of centering Palestinian stories, often erased or untold, in our everyday spaces—at the dinner table, in the office, and in education spaces—to foster empathy, understanding, and global awareness. Through the lens of narrative and lived experience, we will examine how Palestinian voices can challenge dominant narratives, offering alternative perspectives on resistance, identity, and belonging. In addition to hearing an alternative perspective, attendees will gain tools to meaningfully consider the need to elevate and incorporate these stories in educational spaces, promoting critical thinking and cultural consciousness. By amplifying Palestinian voices, we hope attendees will engage with global struggles for justice, fostering dialogue and action that transcends borders and cultivates a more inclusive, empathetic world. This is not THE whole conversation; it is only the beginning of a conversation.
