I’m participating in a panel discussion today about working in other cultures. I’m a Russian-Canadian working a quarter of the year in the West Bank. What challenges do I face? How do I overcome those challenges? These are some of the questions I’ll be addressing today at Beit Zatoun in Toronto’s Annex.
Yep- that's me in Ramallah, as shot by Naama, one of the kids I work with at Kalandia. You can see me today, discussing my experiences in the West Bank.
At 7 pm, I’ll be sitting on a panel with Lea Tremblay and Irvin Chow, two dancers who volunteered in the West Bank this summer. I’m sure we’ll have lots to talk about- since we sometimes butted heads regarding cross-cultural approaches.
Palestinian food- zatar, olive oil, etc- will be free at the event. But you’re obviously coming for the enlightening discussion- not the delicious free food, right?
