Gaza: promoting a culture of non-violence
Context
The division between Fatah and Hamas led to the suspension of the democratic process. The younger generation, which represents nearly 65% of Gaza's population, has therefore never had the opportunity to participate in elections. It is essential to create a culture of non-violence to equip young Palestinians to resolve their differences peacefully.
Our action in Gaza
Promoting non-violence
Albina du Boisrouvray, Founder and Honorary President of FXB, has initiated a partnership in Gaza with PalThink for Strategic Studies, an independent think-tank created in 2007, to carry out activities aimed at promoting, disseminating and strengthening the concept, culture and principles of non-violence within Palestinian society.
The aim is to carry out activities to promote, disseminate and reinforce the concept, culture and principles of non-violence within Palestinian society, specifically targeting young people in Gaza, who are the key to positive change in society.
FXB Gaza's project trains local community educators and civil society organizations with the concepts and tools needed to resolve social and political differences through peaceful means.
It also disseminates the values of non-violence in Palestinian society through specific publications and media.
This program raises awareness among thousands of children, young people and adults of all issues related to the culture of non-violence, and gives them the means and tools to spread this culture within their communities.
