Coping with conflict This project offers opportunities to explore conflict and its impact from the personal to the global and aims to use a Thinking Skills or Philosophy for Children approach. There will be the opportunity for teachers and pupils to develop their knowledge and understanding of the issues through interaction and discussion (by email) with peers in Northern Uganda, Hebron and an urban area of the UK. The secondary RE syllabus has a major section on conflict, so the project is working closely with Devon’s RE Adviser. The project has been designed by Devon Development Education and Bernie Ashmore, who runs Inspiring Learning, an education and training consultancy based at Dartington, Totnes. Bernie was previously Oxfam Development Education Adviser and Enfield LEA Adviser for Humanities. Contacts have been established with secondary schools in Gulu, Northern Uganda, and Hebron, Palestine, which is now linked with Exeter. Neither link is easy. In Gulu, lack of internet access is a problem. In Hebron, disruption has intensified following the election of the Hamas, when Israel decided to withhold Palestinian excise funds and the EU and UN decided to withhold aid money.
