The Catalyst
(Redefining schools during war with Gaza as the case)
Imagine living with the threat of bombing at any second, having lived through 4 wars and been blocked for 15 years by air, sea, and land. Imagine living in a city that is labeled as the ‘world’s largest open-air prison’.
This is the life of over 1 million children who make up 47% of Gaza. 91% of these children suffer from Trauma.
This causes many consequences that affect the children’s future and education.
Due to the Living conditions in Gaza there are no spaces for the children to heal and express, with the school as the most likely space to gather. This makes the school building a very good place to heal the children and as a result improve their education and future.
I am proposing a strategy to convert Schools in Gaza into community healing hubs.
