Twelve teachers from a number of different schools in the Ramallah area took part in an introductory meeting on the alternative resources available to them in the teaching of science in the classroom, in particular, the use of interactive experiments, mimesis and films. In Gaza, eight further meetings covered a wide range of subjects including the use of photography in teaching, linking everyday problems with mathematics and the challenges of teaching freedom and its different meanings. More than 84 teachers took part in these meetings. A further 221 also participated in the Gaza Summer courses, which again covered a wide range of subjects of immediate interest to the teaching profession.
