West Bank Trauma-Informed Waldorf Teacher Training!

Thanks to a generous grant from the British Shalom Salam Trust, reGeneration, and our partner school, House of Hope Vision School, were privileged to host a multi-day teacher trauma-informed Waldorf and NonViolent Communication training course.

Access to trauma-informed teacher training is very limited in the West Bank. House of Hope is a training hub for teachers seeking new professional skills for nurturing Palestinian students exposed to many Adverse Childhood Experiences.

Palestinian teacher Haya Salah receives a certificate in trauma-informed Waldorf education and Non-Violent Communication at the end of the training.
The training was attended not only by House of Hope teachers but also by students and faculty from Abu Dis University.

House of Hope teachers also learned new methods for teaching their students Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a healing approach to trauma through holistic communication based on the principles of nonviolence.

NVC gives its students the skills to understand and articulate their own needs while listening with empathy to others. NVC deepens students’ connection with themselves and others- nourishing the healthy development of pro-social bonds that are threatened by persistent toxic stress.

Thank you to British Shalom-Salaam Trust for supporting our work!
