Winnipeggers teach anger management course to Palestinians (Winnipeg Free Press)
For people living in the Palestinian territories, anger and frustration are daily experiences. That's why two Winnipeggers went there in late July to teach a course on conflict-resolution skills.
Karen Ridd, who teaches conflict resolution studies at Canadian Mennonite University, and Izzy Hawamda, a teacher at Maples Collegiate and an instructor at CMU visited An-Najah University in Nablus in the West Bank.
The goal was to teach the 22 students who signed up for the course about ways to deal with their anger, both internally and inter-personally, and to help others manage their frustrations with daily living under occupation.
