The young people who visited Palestine with CADFA have so far been very good at keeping in touch with their friends in Palestine and also with their friends in London. They have been writing to policy makers about their experience in Palestine and are planning a series of events. Plans are being made for feedback sessions in schools, colleges, universities, youth clubs and the Camden Youth Council. They are keeping a sharp eye in the news and say they'd like to go back!
The Twinning in Action youth visit to Palestine in July 2016 was a first for CADFA. We do dozens of visits but this one had people in it from a number of Camden schools and colleges (and the Youth Council) as well as local universities. The visitors stayed in Abu District and the focus of their visit was Dar Assadaqa where they met Palestinian young people and worked on film together as well as art, dancing, cooking and workshops about their different experience.
"Never in my life would I have thought these people would become family," wrote one participant from the UK... and certainly several weeks on the links between everyone who took part seem as strong as ever.
This autumn, look for feedback meetings in many different places and if you can reach us consider joining the CADFA youth links group.
