Study Trips with International Palestinian Youth League

Bedouin Resilience

Witness the challenges facing these communities.

Bedouin communities living in caves can be visited to learn about their ancient sustainable economy and way of life. The challenges faced by these communities, such as land confiscation, execution of livestock by the Israeli military, and restrictions on students’ freedom of movement, can also be witnessed. Bedouin representatives can be met and students can be walked to their schools as a volunteer.

Additionally, participants can stay overnight with a Bedouin community, enjoy Bedouin food, and watch the sunrise over the Dead Sea the following morning.

Alternative Tourism

Experience the reality of Palestine by joining our political field tours to the historic cities of Hebron, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Nablus, where military violence and confrontation are prevalent.
