The iCenter's Conflicts of Interest Certificate Program

COI reimagines how to effectively engage with one of the most contentious topics today: the Arab-Israeli / Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The challenges of the global Jewish community in how to teach and grapple with conflicts in general and the conflict in particular are greater than ever. The reverberations of October 7 continue to be felt not only throughout Israel, but also across governments, businesses, media, and college campuses, as well as Jewish organizations all over the world.

Participants in COI will gain confidence, core competencies, and content knowledge to bring meaningful conflict education to their settings and communities.

This cohort will meet on the below dates. Both virtual sessions will take place from 12-1:30pm CT.

• Opening Session: October 30 (on Zoom)
• In-Person Seminar: November 11-13 (in Chicago)*
• Closing Session: November 20 (on Zoom) 

*Participants will arrive in Chicago on Sunday afternoon, with the program beginning on Sunday evening with dinner.
