Generation to Generation - Empowering Young Women

At Holy Land Trust, we are pleased to announce the launch of the fourth and enhanced edition of the Generation to Generation  project, which aims to train and empower 20 female students from Bethlehem University. These young women come from the city, refugee camps, and villages, representing diverse academic specialties and backgrounds. 

 

The project will be implemented over several phases, beginning with curriculum development, participant selection, and coordination with trainers and university staff. Students will have the opportunity to register for the program as part of their community service course. The training phase will include 15 workshops focusing on identity, leadership, trauma, activism, and community engagement. Participants will also take part in specialized storytelling, writing, and photography workshops, enabling them to document the experiences of inspiring women role models. Their work will be published in a bilingual booklet (Arabic and English) and showcased in a public exhibition. The project will conclude with a series of dialogue sessions on women's roles in society and regional engagement opportunities to connect students with broader advocacy and policy networks. 

 

This project highlights the critical role of Palestinian women in shaping their communities, empowering them to become leaders in peacebuilding, decision-making, and social change

Strengthening Partnerships for Women’s Empowerment

On Wednesday, February 5, 2025, Holy Land Trust staff met with representatives from Bethlehem University’s Deans' Office to discuss the details of the Generation to Generation project. The meeting focused on finalizing the implementation plan, recruitment process, and coordination between trainers, university staff, and participants. Both teams shared insights on ensuring a structured and impactful training experience for the students

 

With a shared commitment to empowering young women, the meeting laid the foundation for a strong partnership. We are hopeful that training sessions will officially begin in March 2025, marking the start of an exciting journey of transformation, leadership, and advocacy.
