We hold face-to-face lecturers in which we discuss the various methods the IDF employs to exert control over the Palestinian population in the territories, as well as the story behind the founding of the organization and its goals.

During the lecturers – male and female soldiers who served in the territories – talk about their personal experiences and share other soldiers’ testimonies.

These face-to-face meetings facilitate more open and direct dialogues, closer listening and the ability to provide responses to various questions and concerns.
