Youth links people joined others at the Cadfa picnic yesterday 26th August on a beautiful afternoon in Parliament Hill Fields. This was their second group meeting - the first was also a picnic, in Regents' Park. The UK young people are still very much in touch with their Palestinian friends and taking part in follow-up activities including writing to MPS and MEPS about what they saw in Palestine.
Since the beginning of 2016, CADFA'S Twinning in Action project has taken around 50 people from the UK to Palestine where they've met and worked with many more than that number, and led to many friendships (and one marriage! CONGRATULATIONS TO Ismail and Iman). They've led to many creative outputs, photos, paintings, films and to very many different sorts of follow-up activity to promote human rights.
This is to encourage you if you can to get involved in the last stages of CADFA'S great two-year project Twinning in Action: the leader's visit in September, its women's, students and youth parts, and to come to the conference on LINKING TOGETHER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS (the final Twinning in Action conference) which will take place at the NUT in London on Saturday 17th September
September will see the last exchange from the Twinning in Action project. Sixteen Palestinian leaders from each of our twinning links – women, youth, students – will come to the UK to work with people from here who have also been leaders in the Twinning in Action project to evaluate and disseminate the work of the project that has been running for the past two years. They will take part in a residential where they will look carefully at every Twinning in Action exchange so far (there have been eight), visit links groups in London, and take part in a conference on Saturday 17th September.
