The Israel-Palestine Conflict Internship Program (1-12 weeks)

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Duration: 1–12 weeks) is an educational program that aims to provide insight and understanding of one of the most complex conflicts in recent history. This program is designed to provide participants with practical experience on the ground, enabling them to gain a better understanding of the situation.

Additionally, this program offers a unique opportunity for participants to become acquainted with the lives of refugees living in Palestine, particularly in the West Bank camps. Through field trips to the refugee camps in Hebron, participants will have the chance to meet with families residing there and listen to their stories, particularly those of the elderly who have been displaced to these camps.

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Internship program is an ideal opportunity for individuals with basic knowledge of the conflict and refugees in Palestine. The program aims to provide a better understanding of the daily challenges faced by camp residents and offer insight into the conflict and how the community perceives the future.

By participating in this program, you will gain a deeper understanding of the situation in Palestine, experience daily Palestinian life, and witness the challenges faced by the community, including checkpoints. This program will enable you to interact with members of the community, who will share their stories and offer their perspective on the conflict and its future.
