CADFA Palestinian/ UK students’
exchange 29th January to 9th February 2015
This
exchange is part of the CADFA Twinning in Action project – see
twinninginaction.blogspot.co.uk and www.camdenabudis.net/twinninginaction.html
The
students’ exchange will bring 15 Palestinians (12 of them students at the Al
Quds University) to spend time with students from the UK (from a number of
different universities including universities with links to Al Quds). This is one of CADFA’s regular student
exchanges which aim to build links to promote human rights. The theme of this
exchange is film.

Project
Objectives
|
|
• To bring
university students from Palestine to meet and exchange experiences with their
counterparts from Britain
|
|
• To
increase their awareness of human rights issues and to challenge
discrimination
|
|
• To give them an opportunity to make some
film together about their lives as students
|
|
• To build
on previous work that CADFA has done and strengthen twinning links
between student unions in Britain and
in Palestine
|
The ten days
will include a residential in the Yorkshire Dales (with a ‘British day’ planned
by students from the UK and a ‘Palestinian day’ planned by the Al Quds students),
visits to universities in and out of London and film activities. The outline
timetable is below.
