Tamer Youth Teams

Believing in the abilities of the youth to make a change in society, Tamer has been working hard on building the capacities of the youth in the majority of the areas within Palestine in order to equip them with the tools needed to build their personalities and capacities through creating expression spaces for them. Tamer youth teams include three teams: Yara’at , Sirb and Voices . Through 2010, the teams’ members implemented many activites including:

• Apprenticeship: the youth groups participated in series of events held at Haddad Village in Jenin district including reading/writing activites, walking and many other activites.
• Day of Earth, March 31: the youth visited one of the Palestinian villages “Safa”. They helped people there in cleaning the village, planting trees and many other social activites. They reflected their feelings and opinions of the experience through writing pieces that will always be laying in their memories.
• “Semicolon": a set of activites including performing plays, singing and reading poems where many of the youth were able to reflect their point of views about different topics.
