Student exchange - first update!

The CADFA Twinning in Action student visit is moving on... The dates are now fixed and we have bought the Palestinians' air tickets! 

'How can I get involved?' Read on, and if interested, write to contact@camdenabudis.net



This project is for students interested in 

  • meeting students from the other country, 
  • learning about human rights and ways of being active together to promote human rights, 
  • working to develop twinning links and 
  • making film!! 

It is one of CADFA's many student exchanges - You can find out about some of them here -
and its aim is to strengthen student twinning links - You can see something about that here (though we intend to improve this blog!!!)


(just some of the people involved in one of CADFA's previous student visits 
- this was part of a residential in Lancashire)

The project will include film workshops, discussions on human rights, visits to universities and lots of activities for Palestinian and UK students together.  Outline programme....Days 1-4 Residential in the Yorkshire Dales (including visits in groups to northern universities) /  Days 5- 10 in London  (including visits in groups to London universities). 

There are many opportunities for students from the UK to meet the Palestinian students - as participants on the exchange / when the students visit your university / at the Student Twinning Conference in London on Saturday 7th February.



The dates now are Thursday 29th Jan (travel day for Palestinians) / project starting Friday 30th Jan and finishing on Sunday 8th February / Monday 9th February (travel day for Palestinians)



All student participants from Palestine go to the Al Quds University in Abu Dis - they study in various faculties; a number are from the Human Rights Clinic there.  In Britain we are yet to finalise our participant group but expect to have students from different universities, probably one student participant each from the following universities** though applicatinos are open to students from anywhere.   APPLICATION FORMS ARE HERE.

** Northern universities:
Nottingham / Sheffield / Manchester / Bradford / Leeds / York /...(others possible)

**London universities:

There will be a meeting for the student links leadership team in each country very shortly - contact us if you don't get an email in the next day or two with details about that + you would like to.
