This lesson sequence, ‘Palestinian Childhoods’, is designed to align with the KS3 English creative writing curriculum while fostering empathy and understanding among students. The lessons aim to explore themes of childhood, family, loss, and resilience through the lens of Palestinian experiences, using age-appropriate materials and engaging creative writing tasks. This teaching resource pack was created by Priyanka Soni, an English teacher with a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) and currently a postgraduate student at the University of Oxford.

Letters for Palestinian childhoods
is an online and in-person travelling exhibition of letters, poems, and artwork dedicated to the children of Palestine.
It aims to counter dehumanising narratives about Palestinians, showing solidarity by attending to the names, stories, experiences, dreams, and struggles of Palestinian children and the actions of the Western-backed Israeli state which are so violently shaping their lives.
