My name is Liz Vanun and I am an English teacher at the Carmel Zvulun Regional High School, which is situated near Haifa and it right at the foot of the Carmel Mountain. I will be the coordinator of the Jewish Israeli delegation for the 4th time. I was born in the Netherlands and lived there until I was 21 years old. I have been living in Israel for 36 years now and have been teaching for 25 years. I love being a teacher because I enjoy the company of young people: they inspire me and always drive me to explore new fields. This is one of the reasons that I enjoy Peace Camp so much: I hear new perspectives, opinions and enjoy listening to the things young people have to say on various topics. As always, I am looking forward to the 5th of July.

Hello, my name is Sitar Bar, I'm 16 years old and I live in a little village in Israel. I have 2 have brothers, one of them is an IDF soldier. I love long distance running and I also do crossfit. I'm in the Israeli scouts. I just love to travel and to meet new people. I also love to bake and cook for my family and friends. I'm really excited about the delegation, the things we're going to talk about are really interesting and important. So, that's what I have to say about myself. See you all soon.

Hi everybody :
I am Dorit Knobel and I can’t wait to meet you all in July at my first Peace Camp experience.
I do all kind of things that help people ( adults and teens ) feel better about themselves and make it easier for them to communicate with others. We talk about what they are good at and what they appreciate about themselves today . We also talk about how they have been able to overcome difficult moments, as in moments of conflict when they might have forgotten about all the good stuff. And we also bring up memories of very difficult events , which are called traumatic events , that often feel as if they were still happening today, with all the thoughts, feelings and often bodily sensations that belong to that event. And we then do something called EMDR to turn the intruding event into a neutral memory, so it won't bother them ever again.
In addition to working with clients, I have been active in the Humanitarian Assistance Program of our EMDR association and EMDR HAP Europe ,who deliver innovative training to local professionals all over the world in a common effort to alleviate the burden of trauma when and wherever possible.
