YWCA Palestine Participates in the Global Week in Norway

The YWCA Palestine took part at the Annual
peacemaker Global Week which has been organized by the YGlobal in Oslo, Norway,
together with youth from the other Participating Partner countries from Greece,
Portugal, Finland, Palestine and Norway. Where two youth members
represented the YWCA Palestine, Hani Shninah (a trainer at the YWCA) and Mohammad Daraghma
(project coordinator at Alukhowah Club Organization/ partner of YWCA), in
addition to the colleagues from the East Jerusalem YWCA and the
Joint Advocacy Initiative for both organizations Nicola Abu Amsha and Muhannad
Qaisi.
Through
this leadership course, Yglobal aims to further empower young volunteers and
youth workers in the field of advocacy, by providing them with the necessary
tools and by presenting global issues: how to build a movement, wealth
inequality, human rights, peacemaking, and environmental awareness.
The Global Week is a platform to provide young
people with tools to reform policies in society, to give young people the
opportunity to participate in meaningful dialogues and at the same time to
exchange experiences among them. There were many daily topics addressed by young
people in the Global Week between climate change - climate justice, Stop Poverty,
mental health, gender justice, Free Palestine - conflict resolution and
dialogue, and how to implement both UN resolutions 2250 and 1325. Where Hani
and Mohammad presented a summary on how the YWCA Palestine implements these two
resolutions in its programs, as most of the (YWCA) projects in Palestine
revolve around youth, peace
and security.
