This episode I am joined by Emina Bektic and Bana Nazareth who are two women fighting to raise awareness for what is happening in Palestine right now. This episode covers sensitive topics and contains a lot of information that can be hard to hear.

Sandrine and Jasmine have a more casual conversation about general topics surrounding education systems around the world, how education is approached and taught in different places and why education is so important. Being such a broad topic this episode only scratches the surface, but it raises many questions about education systems, access to education, what is valued in different places and if there is a universal understanding of childhood.
