Director of Development

Brief: All children have the right to education, free of intolerance, hate, and incitement. Such universal values play a fundamental role in protecting children and fostering peace between peoples. School education is by far the most powerful tool to puncture extremist influences. Curricula are the key to achieving the tolerant and open-minded societies of the future. But they are also where negative influences: skewed historical narratives, hatreds of the other, gender inequalities and political violence take root.

The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) is a research and policy organisation - founded to tackle this challenge by analysing education and encouraging standards of peace and tolerance as derived from international declarations and resolutions.

Founded at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, IMPACT-se is an internationally respected leader in the field of textbook analysis and is dedicated to peacemaking between peoples and nations by encouraging acceptance of the other and rejection of violent conflict.
