Annual Report AEI 2019-20
Annual Report Arab Educational Institute 1/9/2019-30/8/2020 Introduction In unprecedented times, AEI adapted to the emerging needs as the coronavirus crisis reached peaks in the occupied West Bank. AEI encouraged citizens and especially youths to be pro-active and supportive in responding to the various simultaneous crises. Various solidarity initiatives challenged the “unseen enemy” notwithstanding the impact of the lockdown, the unemployment, and the huge economic challenges due to among other things the collapse of the tourism sector in the Bethlehem area. Meanwhile, the institutions of the PNA and the civil population faced repression by the Israeli occupation forces, and ongoing ‘silent’ annexation by expansion of settlements and settlers taking over certain nature sites in the countryside. AEI’s work was again inspired by the Palestinian value of sumud which is about keeping the community on the land, bringing people together for the common good, caring for the vulnerable, and upholding the value of respect among people as well as for land and nature. Sumud, literally steadfastness or perseverance, has two general meanings in AEI’s work: (a) strengthening the moral fabric and internal community relations of a Palestinian society rooted in the land of Palestine, with a special attention to the prevention of violence against women, youths, and vulnerable groups. (b) strengthening the capacity of Palestinians to raise their voice in support of rights, including women’s and youth rights, out of a vision of peace based on justice. AEI’s two premises are the Sumud Story House in north-Bethlehem, and the head office quarters in Madbasseh, central Bethlehem. -

Saleh Committee chair Elizabeth Riorden Thomas Bible ABSTRACT Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria are the result of the sudden population displacements of 1948 and 1967. After 60 years, unorganized urban growth compounds the situation. The absence of state support pushed the refugees to take matters into their own hands. Currently the camps have problems stemming from both the social situation and the degradation of the built environment. Keeping the refugee camps in order to “represent” a nation in exile does not mean to me that there should be no development. The thesis seeks to make a contribution in solving the social and environmental problems in a way that emphasizes the Right of Return. -
