hello,
My name is Ghadeer, it means a small river in Arabic. I like my name and my city Nazareth, in which we have lived Muslims and Christians peacefully for ages. I think it inspires us to respect other religions, nations and origins. I believe in accepting the "other" and understanding the differences, although stereotypes or social frames, set by the media or political systems, could be misleading. I believe we should all work together, as individuals, to look for what unities us as human being and look forward a brighter future. Conflicts may stay forever, but It's our responsibility to make our lives through easier.
I have been a high school teacher for most of my adult life, started at 21 after a short career in journalism. I teach English as a foreign language, and communication (media studies) as a major subject. Honestly, I enjoy teaching both, feeling equally creative and enthusiastic year after year.
I wish all the participants a lovely stay and a prosperous peacecamp.
