Ingramhistory's List: Teacher Travel Opportunities

" The International Youth Exchange Program (Zajel), came as the result of a dream. The dream was to develop an exchange program that would assemble youth from diverse backgrounds to interact with Palestinians, and to learn about Palestinian society and political realities. The Zajel program is based at An-Najah National University in Nablus

 Zajel is the Arabic word for a carrier pigeon: a symbol of communication and a symbol of peace. The Zajel Program offers a peaceful way by which Palestinian youth can be part of their cause. We seek to answer the misunderstanding and unawareness of people in the West, by representing Palestinian youth in a positive way and by acting as ambassadors for the Palestinian cause. "

Program has two-week Workcamps in which students and or teachers can learn about Palestinian culture and also volunteer to help with language learning.
