The Palestinian Center - Go Palestine

I had an amazing experience during my time here. One of the highlights was teaching English to local children. This was such a fun and rewarding experience, and seeing their enthusiasm made the lesson memorable. I also had the opportunity to take part in meaningful cultural exchanges with local people. Everyone I met was incredibly welcoming, kind, and eager to share their stories and traditions, which made my stay even more special. I took Arabic classes as well, and Tala was absolutely wonderful. She has a fantastic way of breaking down vocabulary and grammar into simple, easy to understand explanations, making learning Arabic much less intimidating and genuinely enjoyable. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe throughout my stay. The support, hospitality, and genuine care I received gave me confidence to explore and fully enjoy the experience. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a meaningful combination of volunteering, language learning, and cultural immersion. It was an unforgettable experience that I will always treasure.

I participated in the Online Media in Palestine crash course with Miss Heyam, and it was a very informative and eye opening experience. One of the most important things I learned is that Palestinian media operates under very complex conditions, where journalists often face restrictions on movement and access to certain areas while trying to report the news. Miss Heyam was an excellent instructor who explained these challenges clearly and shared many real examples from her experience working in Palestinian media. Her insights helped me understand how journalists continue to document stories and events despite these difficulties. The course was interactive, and I appreciated the opportunity to ask questions and learn directly from someone working in the field. I highly recommend it :)

The program is a great cultural exchange, learning arabic and conversing with students. I would definitely recommend to book some of the extra activities, be it visiting Nablus or Jericho, or visiting the camps. The human rights course was particularly valuable from my perspective, and seeing the joy on the kids' faces when distributing toys is a memory that will stay with me for a long time. The staff here was very attentive to my needs and flexible with the schedule due to current situation (war with Iran), so I felt very safe.
