ABOUT THE PROJECT ECO-CAMP “ECO-RESISTANCE” IN PALESTINE (FULL)

The camp will be hosted by Alshmoh Cultural Center which opened its doors in 2001. The center serves the village of Ma’sara and surrounding villages by offering a different range of cultural activities addressed to youth, women and children. During the year, the center proposes movie screening, children activities and organizes special events, such as commemoration activities and sport tournaments. The center focuses on cultural heritage and collective Palestinian identity. Through its
activities the center connects the daily life of farmers and shepherds with their struggle to maintain their identity under occupation. Maintaining the farming traditions and cultural expressions are an act of nonviolent resistance. The activities of the center go beyond the borders of the country because of the connections with other groups and nonviolent movements who share similar values in their struggle against injustices. In the beginning of July the Center will organize the fourth Summer Camp
for the children of the village.

The eco-camp will experiment with constructing an eco-building in the village. We want to reintroduce traditional construction methods in our community (such as building mud brick houses) and at the same time bring in some new sustainable technology. This will give the communities that are faced with ethnic cleansing, the means to be able to stay on their land (using resources which are available and cheap) and preserves the natural environment for future generations. Alternatively the volunteers will visit different places to understand the local reality

VOLUNTEER TASKS
– Construction of an eco-building in the village with mud-blocks.
– Agricultural work to support the local farmers
– Organize activities for the children in the summer camp
– Document the volunteer experiences and contribute to the final eco-camp report with audio-
visual material, articles etc…
