"Conflicts of Interest" Certificate Program

Thank you for your interest in the Birthright Israel cohort of The iCenter's Conflicts of Interest Certificate Program. To be eligible to apply, you must be scheduled to staff a Birthright Israel trip during the Winter 2023-2024 (November-March) or Summer 2024 (April-September) travel seasons.

Conflicts of Interest engages educators in open dialogue, critical thinking, perspective-taking, and cooperative learning. We will use an inquiry and deliberation-based pedagogy to allow for representation of diverse ideas, viewpoints, and narratives on a range of issues. In this way, you will gain knowledge and skills necessary to reflect on and develop educational practices to discuss difficult issues arising in Israel and beyond.

Before beginning this application, please familiarize yourself with all of the details and commitments of participation by reviewing the program FAQs.

Otherwise, we look forward to considering your application.
