International Summer Work Camp 2013
International Summer Work Camp 2013
June 24th - July 4th
Since 1981, Birzeit University (BZU) has been organizing International
Summer Work Camps, aiming to achieve BZU’s mission, build generations
that are open to the world, provide an opportunity for cultural
exchange, introduce the Palestinian cause, and reinforce the Palestinian
core values of caring, respect, peace, and acceptance of the other.
The camps focus on community-oriented volunteer projects in schools,
municipalities, and civil society organizations. They introduce
participants to several geographical places in the West Bank.
The International Summer Work Camps include voluntary work,
visits to Palestinian cities, villages and refugee camps, and other
Palestinian universities. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for
foreign participants to meet Palestinian families, political and
community leaders, as well as Palestinian academics.
