International Work Camp
The work camp will
be a hard but challenging three weeks. The participants will
have the opportunity to discuss relevant issues in the world
and Palestine in particular. They will visit historically
significant sites and refugee camps, and create a positive and
real impact in our community through a variety of activities
related to Social Youth Development. Living and working
together in Nablus, the participants will gain a better
understanding of themselves, Palestinian social/political
questions, the world around them and the continuing
Palestinian struggle for freedom.

Goals:
1.
International and
Local Understanding
- To develop awareness of issues and problems facing the
Palestinians among youth, academic and non-governmental
sectors and enlarge and clarify the perspectives of the
participants on the Palestinian history, culture and conflict.
2.
Solidarity
– Local Palestinians are in serious need to be encouraged and
cheered up by the international volunteers who will come and
take part in shaping the present and the promising future.
3.
Cultural
Understanding
– To develop individuals with a broader comprehension of the
differences amongst cultures and to empower them to accept and
deal with diverse opinions, customs and religions.
4.
Social Development
– To impact our local community in its most diverse spheres
such as education, health, and peace promotion.
