Making the Most of Your Experience

Resources for Beginning Education and Advocacy in Your Community

Many of the resources below are part of an Interfaith Peace-Builders packet provided to each delegate upon return from Israel/Palestine. The focus of IFPB's post-delegation efforts is to encourage and support the civic engagement and grassroots activism of delegation participants.

While these resources are geared towards the opportunities for activism after returning from Israel/Palestine, the information and strategies outlined here are broadly applicable and will benefit anyone interested in promoting constructive change in policy and discourse towards the Israel-Palestine conflict.
