From April, 27th to May, 5th, a hundred of JCall’s members coming from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Nederland and Switzerland will travel on the roads of Israel and the Palestinians territories.
This first trip organized by JCall in Israel and in the Palestinian territories aims at reaching several objectives:
– Discover together the different components of the conflict by meeting several politics and people involved in actions to solve it, from both Israeli and Palestinian societies.
– Better inform the Israeli society on JCall’s commitments and motivations
– Enable the representatives of different JCall European groups to meet and to better know each other.
The program of each day of this trip is built focusing on one or several topics. All of them aim at presenting one aspect of the situation. Together they enable to have a more complete view of the situation. The next table gives a non-exhaustive outlook of these topics.
