Work camp


The Work camp is a place where people of all races, ideologies, and nationalities live and work together on a project organized by a local sponsor for three weeks. The work camp will have 15 participants, who volunteer, socialize and work with the local people.


Vision
The vision of Project Together is to help improve the lives of children in the refugee camp by organizing and supervising activities that are both educational and recreational. This is especially important during the summer months when they are not in school, and have little to no other out lets for their time and energy. We try to provide as many positive options as we can in a very negative situation.


Zajel 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.


Cultural Activities


The study part of the Work camps takes the form of workshops and other cultural activities. The workshops are closely related to the interests and needs of the local youth. There are lectures on history, religion, gender roles, refugees, and youth itself, which provide an insight into different cultures. To create interaction amongst peers, the workshops include role-play and other similar activities. The group will visit local community associations for women and youth, cultural clubs and forums and share activities with them.


During the weekends the activities of the Work camps will focus on cultural matters. On the first weekend the group will visit places of historical interest in the Nablus area. On the second weekend, the families of local volunteers will host the international volunteers.


The expected outcome of the workshops and the voluntary work itself is a public event in form of a street festival with an art exhibition and sporting activities. The volunteers and the locals will prepare these activities during the Work camps



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.
