HOUSE OF HOPE FOLLOWS A PALESTINIAN SCHOOL WHERE TRAUMA‑INFORMED, PEACE‑ORIENTED EDUCATION IS QUIETLY REWRITING WHAT A CLASSROOM CAN DO IN THE MIDDLE OF A DECADES‑LONG CONFLICT. THE FILM SHOWS HOW TEACHERS AND STUDENTS BUILD DAILY PRACTICES OF CARE, RESISTANCE AND COEXISTENCE. IT PREMIERED AT IDFA AND LATER TOOK BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE DOCUMENTARY AT HOT DOCS.

I WAS BROUGHT IN AS IMPACT PRODUCER TO POSITION THE FILM AS EVIDENCE FOR WHY PEACE EDUCATION AND CHILDREN'S VOICES SHOULD BE PRIORITISED IN PALESTINE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

The STRATEGY FOCUSED ON CREATING AN “EDUCATION TRACK” WITHIN PEACE NEGOTIATIONS, WITH A HIGH‑LEVEL SCREENING EVENT AT UNESCO IN PARIS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PALESTINIAN, DUTCH AND SPANISH MISSIONS. I BUILT RELATIONSHIPS AND ORGANISED FUNDRAISING WITH ORGANISATIONS LIKE THE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE ON PEACE EDUCATION, THE GLOBAL CAMPAIGN FOR PEACE EDUCATION, AND THE EDUCATION ABOVE ALL FOUNDATION.
