Webinar: Education Under Genocide: Supporting Gaza’s Phoenix Elementary School

Location Details:

Since the onset of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, schooling has come to a tragic halt. Classrooms sit empty, and over 11,000 Palestinian students who once held dreams of a future have lost their lives. Amid the devastation, more than 80% of Gaza’s schools have been demolished, depriving countless children of the simple joy and opportunity of education.

In response to this heartbreaking reality, Eyewitness Palestine is uplifting the work of Playgrounds for Palestine, which has launched Phoenix Elementary School as a beacon of resilience and learning for Gaza’s youth. This unique school blends traditional and non-traditional learning for students in grades 1-5, with special emphasis on literature for older students.

We invite you to join us on November 4, 2024, to hear from Susan Abulhawa, founder of Playgrounds for Palestine, who has courageously traveled to Gaza twice during the current genocide to bring hope and healing through education. Susan will share her journey, the inspiration behind the Phoenix Elementary School, and the transformative power of writing for Gaza’s children.

Eyewitness Palestine will match all donations raised from this event to support the Phoenix Elementary School’s mission. Together, let’s empower Gaza’s young voices and help them reclaim the education and futures they deserve.
