Teaching in Jerusalem

entrepreneurship instructor for Middle Eastern Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow (MEET)

Cambridge, MA

Jerusalem

April-Aug. 2019

July-Aug. 2020

I volunteered to be an instructor for MEET to teach entrepreneurship to Israeli and Palestinian high-schoolers in the same classroom. I re-designed the curriculum through skills I had learned at MIT and applied the latest practices in negotiation from the Harvard Law School.

Through teaching 111 students in Jerusalem, hearing their stories, playing games, sharing ideas, laughing, and crying, I learned about the region and conflict on a person-to-person level. The relationships we built tore down barriers.

I ran a workshop on video production and screened the films students made

I stay in touch with my students and most recently helped out during COVID-19 by adapting the curriculum and teaching a couple workshops remotely.
