‏I am one of the participants in this project. This project includes both Palestinian, British and French members. We learned a lot of things during this short period, where I am now able to speak with confidence to many members and listen to others. I have learned about their different cultures and the nature of their lives. We were divided into several groups and each group had different nationalities where we cooked, photographed, talked and learned their dishes. More importantly, we have made numerous discussions about the Palestinian violations we are exposed to. We have also made clear the difference between Palestinians having a green identity and Palestinians having a blue identity. We explained the apartheid wall and how it made the movement of young people limited, as we also mentioned the Israeli checkpoints that stopped us and delayed our work. In another session, British and French members explain the abuses they are subjected to because they are Muslims, where women have been forced to take off headscarves [ Hijab] or remove them from schools.
