JERUSALEM | Seeds of Peace partnered with the Young Presidents’ Organization for a networking event in Ramallah headlined by Palestinian entrepreneur Manal Zraiq on January 18.
Palestinian GATHER Fellows and Seeds were joined by members of the Young Presidents’ Organization, a global network of young chief executives, with the goal of forming a community that can support young Palestinian social entrepreneurs.
The event featured a musical performance, speakers, and small group conversations designed to highlight emerging local entrepreneurs and artists and develop partnerships.
Manal Zraiq emphasized to the group how she teaches her children to succeed and stay in Palestine. Many participants were inspired by her remarks and her success as a woman in her field, and shared with her their experiences and challenges as professional women in Palestine.
“It’s really important to have such forums, I think we need to work together on building a solid one,” said one of the participants.
