Civil Society for Dignity in Palestine part 2 : Palestinian civil society involvement

This is the second part of a trilogy I made for Pax Palestine Podcast about the 'Civil Society for Dignity' project, a project by MEND, PCR, PCPD and PAX for Peace, supported by the European Union. This project aims to bridge the gap between the Palestinian civil society and the local governments.
In this episode you will learn more about the project 'Civil Society for Dignity' itself. Muna Rishmawi, the project manager, talks about the aims of the project, the cooperation between the different organizations that are involved and how the project is being implemented. One of the young female participants, Aseel, tells us about her personal experiences and what her participation meant to her personal development. We conclude with Yara, who carried out a research and shares her findings with us.
Partners in this joined project are:
MEND stands for Middle East Non Violence and Democracy. MEND promotes active nonviolence and encourages alternatives to violence among youth and adults throughout Palestine. MEND employs innovative methods, especially with the media, and is widely respected for working with authenticity, professionalism
and courage.
PCR is the Palestinian Center for Rapprochement between people. PCR works to bridge the gap between Palestinians and peoples from all around the world, informing the public about the reality in Palestine, and empowering the community through nonviolent direct action.
PCPD is the Palestinian Center for Peace and Democracy. They were established to promote a just peace based on the Palestinian Declaration of Independence of 1988 and relevant United Nations Resolutions towards a two state solution, in which democracy and social justice are guaranteed.
PAX for Peace is based in the Netherlands and works together with committed citizens and partners to protect civilians against acts of war, to end armed violence, and to build a just peace. In Palestine PAX supports local partners in building resilient communities, promoting human security and equality in the political, cultural and social domain, and in fighting the injustices resulting from the protracted occupation.

good job

[@gabuchin]

I hope you are staying safe and get to achieve your goal

[@Naeruve]

I hope you're doing okay and staying safe. My thoughts are with Palestine ♥️

[@StoriesfromPalestine]

We are ok. But circumstances don't allow to produce new episodes currently. Situation is so difficult here.

[@Naeruve]

@@StoriesfromPalestine that's okay, I'm just so happy to see that you are okay! I am praying for you, your family, Gaza and all of Palestine 🫶🏼 I am so sorry my country (the US empire) is doing this to you...please know a large percent of us fully disagree with what's happening a d we are protesting and calling our politicians day and night. They can't do any events without being disrupted by protestors. They can't have peace while you don't have peace. I am so ashamed and I promise you Palestine will be top of mind when voting in our elections in the future. Sending you so much love, I am so sorry.
