SESSION THREE: The Nuances of Language with AVI Director of Education Gabriela Rosenblum. Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 8pm ET.
​
When engaging in discourse, it is important to establish operational definitions so all parties can discuss the topic on an equal playing field. The language you choose to use has many implications in conversations about the Arab-Israeli conflict. This presentation integrates psychological concepts to explore these implications, equipping participants to engage in varied environments.
