During this webinar, participants will consider the following questions: When children’s lives and well-being are at serious risk, how can religious institutions and faith communities help to uphold commitments to children’s rights and protection and strengthen child-centered moral conscience? How do the impacts of war on children affect their mental health, moral compass, and capacity to empathize with others? Do these impacts on young minds risk aggravating and prolonging the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, jeopardizing possibilities of conflict transformation, peace, and security in the future?
