Description: 

​

The Dual Narrative Education Center (DNEC) is a multilingual (English, Hebrew, Arabic) and interactive hub that offers comprehensive information on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from various perspectives. Through storytelling, opinion pieces, academic articles, books, and films, DNEC aims to foster mutual understanding and empathy among Israelis, Palestinians, and the global community. By presenting diverse narratives and encouraging critical thinking, the center seeks to challenge entrenched attitudes and replace conflict with security, equality, and peace.

Achievements in 2024:

​

In the past year, the Dual Narrative Education Center held three video-making sessions in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Bethlehem. During these sessions, 15 speakers participated in creating content that included personal stories of Palestinian and Israeli women and discussions by tour guides on specific topics. In total, DNEC produced 140 videos that have been transcribed and translated into three languages: English, Arabic, and Hebrew. These efforts have significantly contributed to the center's mission of fostering mutual understanding and empathy, reaching a broader audience and enhancing the impact of the shared narratives.
