A day in Hull

I am one of the UK participants of the ma’an project and I had the pleasure of having some students come up to the University of Hull where I study physics and am the president of Hull University friends of Palestine society. Our first activity of the day was to do a public demonstration, this was in the form of Dabka in Hulls old town and tell people what we was doing and why we were there. Next we took the students on a tour of the university and to have lunch at one of our cafeteria to get to know the students. At 1:00 we had our student event which started with me talking about CADFA and the Ma’an project then having questions from the audience so that we talked about issues they were interested in and the Palestinian students talking about there experience which the students found very interesting. Towards the end of the meeting we wanted to give the students a Palestinian experience so we showed and taught them some dabka which they enjoyed a lot. To finish the day we went to a dessert cafe to socialise before they departed on the train.
