Palestinians Teach Life

As educators, we have the unique opportunity to engage students in humanizing, life-affirming pedagogies that nurture critical thinking, empathy, and global awareness. Teaching Palestine is about more than just history; it is about sharing intergenerational stories of resilience, dignity, and connection to land. It invites students to reflect on topics at the intersections of home, immigration, borders, environmental justice, U.S. policies in the Middle East, and more. Teach Palestine empowers and supports educators in integrating these powerful narratives into their classrooms, fostering an inclusive learning environment where all students can engage critically with the history and contemporary realities of the South West Asia/North Africa (SWANA) region. By doing so, we broaden students’ perspectives, deepen their understanding, and inspire them to engage with the world around them.
