JERUSALEM | Fifty-three children took part in a seven-day Bara’em El Salam (“Buds of Peace”) Winter Solidarity Camp in Gaza City that taught active learning, critical thinking, creativity, and social awareness. The program was run by the Shijaeya Community Project and organized by Seeds of Peace staff and ten volunteers.
The January camp took advantage of the winter school break to introduce new children and families to the Project and included a day with the Qattan Centre for the Child, space exploration with the UNESCO Chair Committee for Astronomy and Space Sciences, and day with the comedy artist Muamen Shwakh.
