Mrs. Sally Al-Sammak spoke about the importance of the project, which aims to provide free spaces for Gazan youth for psychological entertainment, especially since the project comes as an emergency response after the last attack on the Gaza Strip in May 2021. It also aims to qualify 20 young women and men to implement a community initiative that reaches the largest possible number of beneficiaries and achieves the goal of the camp in light of the pressures generated by the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first-day deals with training on writing initiatives and how to choose initiative ideas, linking them with the community and the youth group, and the conditions that must be met by the initiative. This camp continues for five days to complete the camp with the implementation of an initiative by the youth who attended the training camp after coming up with its idea through them.<\/span><\/p>\n
