David, Haneen and Jackie's session:
Tell a Child in Gaza’s Tale: Sharing our Humanity
Everyone is invited to discover, respond to, learn and retell stories chosen, developed and told by children from Gaza. Appreciating such precious treasures freely given by young people whose hearts shine on brightly in the deepest darkness offers a chance for learners everywhere to deepen our compassion and thrive as members of our global human family, knowing that we all have meaningful stories to share.
