Please join UIA Young Leadership for an informative evening where we get to Grill the Expert regarding tackling anti-Israel narratives on social media.

Our expert is Charlotte Korchak, Senior Educator and Director of International Student Programs at StandWithUs Israel. StandWithUs is an international Israel education organisation inspiring and educating people of all ages and backgrounds, challenging misinformation and fighting antisemitism. Charlotte spends her days educating and training students from around the world in Israeli history and activism on topics including combatting antisemitism on campus and answering the tough questions about Israel.

This interactive session will allow the audience to ask the most difficult questions they have faced and receive answers rooted in the facts, as well as be given the tools to respond effectively to the different audiences they may encounter. Topics that are covered typically include the claim of stolen land, Apartheid, occupation, settlements, roots of the conflict and many others.
