The first symposium in the series sheds light on Khalil Sakakini’s educational practice at the end of Ottoman rule and during the early British Mandate period. It draws from his own memoirs to present an understanding of Palestinian social history while focusing on the pedagogical principles put in practice by al-Madrasa al-Dusturiyya (Constitutional School).
