"Thank you again so much for your excellent work.  I thought you did an outstandingly good job.  I have sat in on quite a few workshops now, and this one really stands out. You managed to engage people right from the start, and by the end I think you had had responses from almost everyone. That was quite an achievement.  Your workshop session was extremely positively received by the pupils and the teachers.  It would be wonderful to see you again next year.  Might you be able to join us again, please?" Comberton Village College

"[The students] are still talking about the talk and have mentioned many things I thought they did not hear. They especially keep bringing up the point that racism against Arabs is just as wrong as any other form of racism." Clough Hall Technology School

"I really do appreciate your extremely knowledgeable and interesting approach to the subject and your words certainly provided plenty of food for thought. The staff were very complimentary and appreciated the wide variety of issues covered. I'm always amazed how little students know about the origins of the Conflict and in the present climate your words have even more significance. I hope that we may be able to tempt you back here again in the future."  Canford School

"My colleagues and I were very impressed at the skilful way you engaged the students from the outset, encouraging them to think, voice their opinions and ask searching questions."  Bedales School

"The feedback I've had from the boys has been excellent – they really found your talk engaging and interesting, and simply by the amount of questions at the end I could tell how well it went! [...]  I will be in contact next year again, as I feel that you deliver a very important message that I would like future years at the school to hear." Royal Grammar School

"They enjoyed the talk very much – they were impressed that a ‘woman’ was giving a talk on Islamophobia (they didn’t expect this!)"  The Skinners’ School

"Thorough, measured and stimulating... " Maiden Erlegh School

"I am writing to thank you for your fascinating lecture, and for your patience when bombarded with questions. The presentation has provoked a great deal of discussion and positive response from the pupils, who have undoubtedly been confronted with some uncomfortable truths. I hope that it may not be too long before we are able to call upon your services again. It's so good to make young people think!"  Bristol Grammar School

"The pupils that I have spoken to found the talk really stimulating. I got the impression that some had not been asked to confront their own prejudices quite so directly before. Obviously a very valuable  experience. "  Dauntsey’s School

Also some comments from students:

“Why aren’t we taught about this in our other lessons?”

 “It made me think more about the world as at the moment very focused on my future”

“‘It was very useful to hear the background, as this is often taken as assumed knowledge by the media. Thank you.”

“No comment. It was cool.”

“Thank you.”

“The talk provided a compelling insight into the history behind the conflict and allowed us to reflect on the main principals of justice, security and peace that need to be addressed in order to solve the conflict….We know that fellow students who attended this discussion felt that your knowledge on the issue provided them with a deeper understanding of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.”
