Seraj Library Project Trip to Palestine

October 16 – October 26, 2022

On this remarkable tour you will see Palestine from the inside...

 

You are invited! Our first ever Seraj trip to Palestine! Come and experience Palestine from the inside, get to know the communities with whom we work, and make deep and meaningful connections with people and our libraries.

 

This will be a tour unlike any other, as you will do more than observe and listen:

• you will be an active participant in all that we do.
• you will have the chance to work alongside Palestinian families, lead activities for their children, and sightsee…
• all from an insider’s perspective.

Come and explore Palestine in a new way with us.

 

Led by Seraj Palestine and our amazing and talented team, this tour will transform the way you understand Palestine. 

 

Laurie Salameh, Executive Director, Seraj Palestine
