Tamer Institute for Community Education

Tamer Institute for Community Education is an educational non-governmental non-profit organization established in 1989 as a natural and necessary response to urgent needs in the Palestinian community. The most important of those needs, according to the Institute, is the need to acquire means to help people learn and become productive.

The Institute’s work is governed by four basic convictions:

1. Creating learning environments in various locales through encouraging reading, expression of personal experience, creativity, achievement, and the transformation of experience into cultural products.

2. The investment in available resources to meet basic needs.

3. Youth are the most important sector in the process of building the society on the levels relating to community growth and development.

4. Encourage the formation of small groups based on individual initiatives and provide communication networks amongst them.
