6 actions you can take for Palestine and Israel

Teach Peace Secondary: a timely education resource
There's growing concern among teachers about peace. This was evident at this year's National Education Union (NEU) conference. "Children should not pay the price of war", said Daniel Kebede, NEU General Secretary, after delegates passed a motion on Palestine and Israel. "More children have been killed in Gaza in four months than in four years of worldwide wars."
