Amplifying Young Palestinian Voices

Come and hear about three NEU members recent visits to Palestine and Gaza.

The National Education Union (NEU) has a proud history of solidarity with the Palestinianpeople, continually informed via sending two delegations per year
to visit Palestine.

Fred Coker will talk about the (NEU) visit to Palestine, visiting East Jerusalem, Jaffa, and the ‘West Bank’ during February 2023.

Jenny Christopher will talk about her visit to schools in the West Bank and their meetings with NGO’s fighting for the rights of children and young people in Palestine.

Sue Piper will talk about her recent trip to the West Bank and Gaza with The Hands Up Project and about some of the amazing kids, teachers and groups she met out there.
