SNS Youth session booking form
*If you have any questions before completing the booking form below, please email team@solutionsnotsides.co.uk // Tel: 020 7074 4357*

Solutions Not Sides offers personalised sessions for youth groups following discussions with an SNS staff member about the requirements of your group and what you would like them to get from an SNS session. Youth leaders must confirm they are able to facilitate all the sessions for their participants that they book, and that agreed preparation work will be completed. The sessions are suitable for ages 14+ and up to 30 participants. It is vital that a youth leader is present in all sessions for safeguarding and behaviour management.

As a registered charity, we aim to offer an educational service to community youth groups that is affordable - to the point of being free if necessary, in order to ensure that no institution or group is excluded from benefiting from this service due to a lack of funds. If you are booking a session in coordination with a local council, they may be covering costs for this.

There is a cost to the sessions, to cover the costs of staff, transport, and resources, this is £280. However, if your youth group demonstrates a significant need for the programme, in order to respond to issues within the group, we may be able to run the sessions for free.

The educational elements of a Solutions Not Sides session are:
Humanising encounters
Diverse narratives
Critical-thinking skills

PART 1: EXPLORATION
Learning about historical narratives (can be done as homework or as a teacher-led preparatory session); 1 hour
Session on the historical narratives using our film 'The Beginner's Guide to Israel-Palestine'. All materials and guidance provided by SNS.

PART 2: EMPATHY
Learning about conflict resolution (teacher-led preparatory session); 1 hour
Session run by school teacher introducing the conflict resolution principle of the iceberg using the new film developed in conjunction with The Parents Circle, materials on understanding the experiences of Palestinians and Israelis and their needs, and introduction to the concept of one and two-state solutions.

PART 3: EMPOWERMENT
Live classroom session with Israeli and Palestinian speakers and an SNS facilitator; 1.5-2 hours
Session run by an SNS facilitator and the Palestinian and Israeli speakers online or live focused on answering student questions and having a solutions-focused discussion around pros and cons of one and two state solution, plus other ideas for solutions. Facilitator to lead a 10-minute debrief time during the last section of the session

Each youth group session is 1-hour to 3-hours depending on how many preparation sessions you will do with the group beforehand. Preparation materials appropriate to the age and prior knowledge of your group will be provided. A break will be included in longer sessions.

Sessions are ideal for groups of 30 students, however we can work with more. We can use Zoom, MSTeams, or Googlemeet for virtual components. In these cases, we will require your room to be set up with projector, computer, camera, mic and sound in order to use video call. To enhance the quality of the dialogue between the students and the speakers, cameras and microphones need to be turned on.
