İş Tanımı
This work camp will expose volunteers to daily life in the Occupied West Bank. Volunteers will conduct renovation at the old city of Hebron South Jerusalem which is on the WHL. This World Heritage Site is in danger due to the Israeli military occupation measures and settlers’ attempts to takeover old buildings and convert them into illegal housing. The work in this location will include, renovation of two old buildings; the ancient Turkish bath and the Spanish Academy (used to provide trainings in renovation and rehabilitation of old buildings. Both located in the old city and has been renovated earlier but now need further maintenance and renovation work. The first building was prepared to be a Turkish bath and the second as a community non-formal academy for archeological students and concerned people from around the world.
In addition to the physical work at both buildings (under the supervision of the site manager, UNESCO and the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee) the volunteers will learn about the daily challenges facing the Palestinians people from the occupation and the Jewish settlers militia.
The afternoons of the work camp will be dedicated to an educational, social and cultural program of activities. The aim is to expose volunteers to the reality of life in Palestine in the context of the ongoing Israeli occupation and the Palestinians people resilience. The program will educate volunteers on Palestinian culture and history, and the origins of conflict in the region. The program will introduce volunteers to various civil society entities who are working towards a future Palestinian state. Civil society plays a crucial role in Palestine, helping people to stay resilient in the face of the many challenges brought about by the occupation.
Konaklama ve Yemek
The volunteers will be hosted at IPYL volunteers’ dormitory in Hebron. Men and women will stay in separate rooms. The dorm is about 20 minutes’ walk from the location of the work. The accommodation includes hot water, kitchen and hangout space. The place has fast internet connection and presentations equipment (the media center of IPYL is beside the flat). The volunteers will cook breakfasts, lunches and dinners by themselves (daily cooking teams to be established). Lunch might be served during the work time. Tea and coffee will be available all the time at the dorm and the hangout space.
There might be curfew for the work camp, which would be around midnight, unless we have some activities outside that night/evening.
The camp is alcohol and drugs free, volunteers can’t drink alcohol during the camp duration. The camp leaders will designate some local bars (Bethlehem only) where volunteers can drink.
Konum ve Serbest Zaman
The city of Hebron is a very conservative one. Its a Muslim city which means there are no bars or night clubs. In some days, we will be traveling to the next bye city- Bethlehem, where the volunteers can drink in designated bars and spend some leisure time. In addition to that, we will organize fun time and games at the center (its beside the dormitory) together with local volunteers and young people from the community. the center is located in a central area where many cafes, supermarket and restaurants are around.
Notlar
There will be daily update on the security situation of the area. Once the volunteers are selected, we will keep them updated with the security and safety situation before their arrival.
