On Tuesday 22/8, there was a short workshop about the Al Rowwad organisation. Active in Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem, Palestine, the mission of this organisation is to allow young people to express themselves through theatre, dance, photography, painting, and just playing. By expressing themselves, they can be hopeful again, and make beautiful resistance against the ugly oppression. It is better that they live so that Palestine can live, rather than they die so that Palestine can live.

Abdelfattah, who is the director of Al Rowwad, gave a magnificent presentation of Al Rowwad to about 60 interested people, simultaneously in English and in French. It ended with a video which can also be viewed online (look for Alrowwad Beautiful Resistance in your language of choice). Regardless of the heat in the room, most people stayed for a long time to ask questions.
