[Participant Comments] (Excerpts)
- Hearing directly about what is happening on the ground made this issue feel much closer. (3rd Year Junior High)
- It was good to be able to deepen our opinions with everyone in the group. I thought about the future of Palestine and decided to pay more attention to the news. (1st Year Junior High)
- This was my first time participating in a workshop related to such international issues. Being able to talk deeply with peers was an experience I don't usually have. (3rd Year High School)
- It was good to be able to output after inputting, not just listen to the lecture. (2nd Year Junior High)
- I learned real things that I couldn't know just by researching. I realized that children my age or younger than me have various feelings and I want to know more about the current situation. (3rd Year High School)
