The Tikkun Campus Network: Skills for the "Middle Path"
  Type of Item: Teaching and Training Material
  Item of Interest to: Program Coordinator Faculty Student Undergraduate Student Graduate
Description: Since September 11th parties involved in campus activism are experiencing some new kinds of aggravation and alienation emerging in relation to the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The Tikkun Campus Network (TCN) was created in response to this charged environment to help increase positive social change and spiritual growth across campus. The TCN's focus is to help foster the "spiritual understanding of the interrelatedness of all humans." The TCN advocates a "middle path" -- on the one hand, insisting on an end to the Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and on reparations for the Palestinian refugees, on the other hand insisting on an end to terror and advocating real security for Israel.

Stressing that each side of the conflict must recognize the humanity of the situation, and recognizing that this may be difficult, the TCN provides tools for student facilitators. Their web site is http://www.tikkun.org/community/campusnet/index.cfm/action/what_is_TCN.html
