Internships in Palestine - Human Rights I Media I Education

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.

I was surprised by the level of depth that I was able to experience with learning about Palestinian culture, understanding the issues that locals face there, and visiting refugee camps in person to see for myself. Although I feel like my contribution with volunteering was just a small drop in a bucket, it was still great to get the sort of perspective that allowed me to share the word and let others know about the human rights issues here. I highly recommend every aspect of this program, from the camp visitation, classes, daily breakfast, host families, and even tours of the city.

The program was absolutely amazing. Even though I had only one week I was able to learn a lot about Palestine and the occupation. The staff was incredible and super attentive. I can say that this was a life changing experience and I would strongly recommend it. In the times we are living, it's a must have experience to understand the occupation and colonisation of Palestine.
