I am originally from Israel,
and have been active in the Israeli-Palestinian peace movement
for the past 16 years
I’ve worked for nearly a decade as coordinator and facilitator of Palestinian-Israeli conflict& dialogue encounters for youth and adults
(mainly through the Windows For Peace NGO).
As an Israeli, I’ve always been baffled by the violence and conflict in which I grew up,
and I strived to find ways to make a difference.
Through  many years of working with conflict groups,
I have gathered an array of amazing, transformative tools
from various traditions and teachers,
which I have woven together to form the NCT Program

 In Australia I have worked with schools, teachers and communities
exploring together practical, creative ways to transform conflicts.
I hold a Masters degree in Human Rights Education from Curtin University, Perth.And besides, I’m a mum of 2 little ones, who provide me  with a myriad of with daily opportunities to practice my Conflict Transformation skills! 🙂

So What Do Past Participants have to Say About This Training?

“Efrat embodies the positive approaches to cultural transformation that she teaches. She connects the theory to real world practice with clarity, purpose and compassion for all the workshop participants.”

 Ande, teacher, Gympie

“The training gave me a lot of new ideas to deal with conflict. It was well worth
my time, and also it was not formula-based but open to interpretations – very enjoyable 2 days!”

Dave, Teacher, Gympie

“I would recommend this training – it is extremely relevant and transferable to
any industry. Can help with personal life conflicts also. Efrat has a calm
presence when presenting and can work really well within multiple dynamics and differing  personalities.”

Ryan, Community Worker, Brisbane

 “I loved being part of this training. Conflict transformation, NVC and positive activism discussions were so helpful for me. I would recommend this training to all my colleagues – it is so useful and helpful in our work with young people.”

William, teacher, Melbourne 

“The NVC strategies and other tools will be very useful with working with young people, plus an array of other tools that will work well in personal and professional life. 2 fantastic days of learning. What I found most profound was re-establishing a connection with myself on a physical and emotional level – something I did not anticipate but am truly grateful for!”
