Het project in het kort door Nederlands Palestina Komitee
The Nederlandse Palestina Komitee (NPK) considers itself part of an international movement against oppression, exclusion and
discrimination. With this perspective it seeks to strengthen solidarity with the Palestinian people in the Netherlands. It does so
by undertaking lobby and advocacy work in the Netherlands and at EU level. Under this project called The Human Experience of
Palestine, NPK seeks to disseminate more information about life under occupation in Palestine amongst the Dutch Public via the 4
Dutch volunteers who would live and work in Nablus. NPK hopes that more members of the Dutch public, by identifying themselves with
the 4 Dutch volunteers, would be accessed than before. The images on the T.V and media would be supplemented by the personal
narrative of the 4 volunteers who, while avoiding political analysis, would highlight daily life in Palestine and how ordinary
Palestinians? are influenced by their unique situation. Within Netherlands, this could contribute towards more nuanced understanding
of Palestinian-Israel conflict and create empathy for a population living under occupation.
This project is in co-operation with a Palestinian-Canadian organisation based in Nablus, West Bank called Project Hope. NPK aims
to send 4 Dutch volunteers to the work in Nablus with children and young people on specific themes identified by their Palestinian
partner organisation. Upon their return, the 4 Dutch volunteers would talk about their experience in various places within Netherlan
ds, with the media and on the internet
