2. Empathy: they learn that pushing for a win-lose outcome will likely lead to lose-lose, and what that really means for the people affected through personal stories (1 hour)
3. Empowerment: they undertake a solutions-focused exercise with the Israeli and Palestinian speakers, learning about the needs of both sides, and the importance of a win-win outcome (1 hour)
