All volunteers are required to attend a two-day training program.

You will also be introduced to nonviolent direct-action techniques and strategies, group decision making using the consensus system, effective media strategies, etc.

Evaluation
Each ISMer has their own unique experience in Palestine. After you leave, we ask that you send us feed back about your time here working with ISM. This page discusses this in more detail and offers a few starter questions to get you going. There is also an email form that you may use to send us your evaluation. This information is communicated to the Evaluation Committee and will be kept confidential if you prefer. Please note at the top of your email if you wish to remain anonymous.
