This document provides information about a video conference series called "The Middle East in Transition" hosted by three partner organizations: the Research Journalism Initiative (RJI), the Technology Innovation Group (TIG), and the Centre for Global Education (CGE). The series aims to give students a better understanding of the Middle East by directly connecting them with people experiencing events there. Students participate in moderated video conferences on topics like violence and art in response to oppression. Feedback from teachers and students suggests these conferences provide powerful learning by allowing interaction with people to humanize conflicts and consider different perspectives. The document provides details on organizing and participating in future conferences through the listed partner organizations.
