Palestine: the next generation


Very welcome to our breakfast seminar on how organisations adapt to the changing realities and the consequences it has on Palestinians life.

USA are moving their embassy against international agreements, UNRWA is being stripped from funds and the Israeli government does not show any signs of easing the occupation.

The Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are more neglected than ever especially after imposed restricted measure on Palestinian workers . The blockade on Gaza enters its 13 year resulted in a devastated humanitarian situation. The challenges are many no matter if you are a Palestinian in Gaza, West Bank or living as a refugee in the Lebanese camps.

Under these circumstances the civil society of Palestine keeps fighting with bravery to mobilize and stand up for dignity, human rights and equality. One essential task for organisations like Naba’a and Abu Dees Youth Club is to strengthen the next generation of Palestinian human rights activists and foster a culture of non-violence, respect for diversity and gender equality.
