Internships in Palestine - Human Rights I Media I Education

The people at Go Palestine are all very helpful, kind, good communicators, and have very good knowledge and insights. The advanced coordination and information was very helpful so I had more idea of what to expect. I also left my mind open to see what would happen and go with the flow. My Arabic classes were good. Giving English classes was fun but a little chaotic as I do not have experience with this, and when we had a large group of students, it was hard to manage the dynamics. My visits with healthcare and environmental professionals were very insightful in helping me understand how the systems are working in Hebron and in Palestine in general. It was really an honor to have time with these professionals who care so much about their work and their patients or the environment here. They are also facing challenges due to the political situation and it was helpful to understand that more. The visit to the old city was wonderful and also helps me understand the current situation. I had a fun cooking class and was happy to learn how to make Maqluba. It was delicious! In Hebron, I was never uncomfortable except for the hot weather which of course no one can control. I felt Hebron is safe and peaceful. I asked people when I needed something and they were always willing to help. It has been a great experience!

My internship at Go Palestine was truly a great experience. I did not only learn a lot about the human rights situation, but also about the Palestinian culture in general. Everybody at Go Palestine was very friendly and hospitable!

I joined the Human Rights Internship with Go Palestine for three weeks, and it was an eye-opening and meaningful experience. During the internship, I met several local human rights activists, especially Mr. Ahmad, who was very informative and open. He took the time to explain the human rights situation in Palestine in a way that felt real and grounded in everyday life, not just theory. Besides the field visits, I also had English conversational classes with Palestinians, which were one of the highlights for me. These sessions felt more like real conversations than classes and allowed for genuine exchange, shared stories, and different perspectives. I also had Arabic lessons with my wonderful teacher, Dalia. She was patient, encouraging, and made learning Arabic enjoyable, even when it was challenging. These lessons helped me connect more deeply with the people and the culture. Overall, this experience helped me understand the human rights situation in Palestine on a much deeper level. It was not just educational, but personal. I would strongly recommend this internship to anyone who wants to learn, listen, and engage directly with the local community.
