Conference Research and Evaluation

All participants will be asked to complete a pre-conference survey, a post-conference evaluation immediately following the conference, and surveys 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the conference. These online surveys are confidential and for the purpose of understanding:

• the impact of the conference on participants’ learning about the conflict in the short and longer term
• the role group relations conference work may play in facilitating dialogue between Jewish and Arab Diaspora communities

A select number of participants will be invited to participate in a series of interviews to explore how they make meaning of their conference experience.

Those who wish to participate in the interview portion of the research will be given a consent form acknowledging their agreement to participate in the evaluation research of the conference. Anyone who thinks they might be interested is kindly requested to check the appropriate box on the registration form.

Your acceptance as a member of this conference will not be affected in any way by your willingness or unwillingness to participate in any portion of the evaluation research. You may withdraw your participation at any time.
