CRITICAL AND CONTROVERSIAL HISTORY OF PALESTINE (Arabic below) 🇵🇸 Important parts of Palestine’s history are manipulated, misused or misunderstood - and often used as an ideological weapon in establishing exclusive rights to the land, says two professors of theology and history, now publishing their new book “The Ever Elusive Past: Discussions of Palestine’s History and Heritage”. ⏳ For decades, Dr. Thomas L. Thompson (USA) and Dr. Ingrid Hjelm (Denmark) have studied Palestine’s history and heritage. This new book is a collection of their latest lectures given in 2018 at universities all over the West Bank and in East Jerusalem – controversial for many, yet also highly appraised by academic colleagues.

ℹ Publishing of the book is by Dar Al Nasher, supported by The Danish House in Palestine in collaboration with @palmuseum, and it will be launched Tuesday 19th November 2019 at The Palestine Museum in Birzeit, Ramallah – with the authors present and ready to answer any questions, as they say themselves: 💡 “No history writing is purely objective or just. Even Google Maps cannot give you a full picture in every detail. The present we know, but the past changes every day!" #palestine #palestinian #history #westbank #palestinianmuseum #birzeit

أجزاء مهمّة من تاريخ فلسطين عرضة للتلاعب، التحريف ،أو سوء الفهم - وغالباً ما يتم استخدامها كسلاح عقائدي لإرساء حقوق حصريّة لتملّك الأرض. هذا ما يقوله بروفيسورا الإلهيّات والتاريخ اللذان بصدد نشر كتابهما الجديد: "الماضي العصي: دراسات في تاريخ فلسطين." على مدار عقود درس الدكتور توماس ل. ثومبسون (الولايات المتّحدة) والدكتورة إنغريد يلم (الدنمارك) التاريخ والتراث الفلسطيني. كتابهما الجديد هو تجميع لآخر محاضراتهما المقدّمة سنة 2018 في مختلف جامعات الضفّة الغربيّة والقدس الشرقيّة - رغم أنّها مثيرة للجدل للعديد من الناس، إلّا أنّها نالت عالي الاستحسان من قبل الزملاء الأكاديميّين.
سيتم نشر وإطلاق الكتاب من قبل دار الناشر وبدعم من البيت الدنماركي في فلسطين بالتعاون مع المتحف الفلسطيني، يوم 19 من تشرين الثاني 2019 في المتحف الفلسطيني في بيرزيت، رام الله.

175 YEARS BIRTHDAY - AND 35.000 SHOOTS ”The mind is like a parachute; it only works if we keep it open” - this old saying somehow fits well, watching an enthusiastic group of Danish folk high school students from @KrogerupHojskole visiting Palestine – ears and eyes wide open.

Though young at heart, these Danes are also the embodiment of a big birthday in Denmark - today! 🇩🇰 TODAY, 175 years ago, the first Danish folk high school opened its doors to students (...). When this educational movement in Denmark started at @RoeddingHoejskole the 7th November in year 1844, one of the core ideas of the founder – Danish poet, philosopher, priest and teacher, mr. Niels Frederik Severin Grundtvig – was to involve all citizens in being able to express a critical voice towards the people in power. To engage in democracy. Critical thinking is still at the very heart with nowadays 70 @Hojskolerne folk high schools all over Denmark (...) 🇵🇸 During a little less than two weeks of travelling Palestine, nine students and two teachers from @Krogerupfotografi have been doing about 35.000 shoots with their cameras, some while joining the olive harvest, invited by @the_danish_house_in_palestine. These days, the photos are digested, processed, edited. Knowledge will be shared with families and friends and other young students, and hereby also sharing the folk high schools’ ideal of dialogue and tolerance between different people.

In a few weeks, more students from @RoeddingHoejskole arrive in Palestine – the very folk high school that opened 175 years ago, today! They will arrive, well, not with parachutes but with an open mind. Meeting Palestinians, listening, asking questions, discussing. Maybe picking the last olives of this year, sipping tea, sharing life. Making new connections in the ”school of life”. 🙌 The Danish House is happy and proud to welcome and support young people with open minds – happy birthday, dear folk high school students!

WHEN GIRLS FALL IN LOVE... WITH A SILLY LILLY!

Giggling all over. Exited silence. Then the girls squeal of delight.

About 50 Palestinian school girls are listening, the teacher reading aloud the Danish children’s book “Silly Lilly”. 😘 It is the story of the girl Lilly who has swallowed the word "stupid", then she begins doing silly things, all thinks she is silly, and she hides away in Silly-land. Until some adults tell her that she is both funny, honest, sweet and helpful to others. So, also a story about how talking bad about other people can do bad, and make people not only feel but also think bad about themselves - for no reason.

In collaboration with @tamerinstitute for Community Education مؤسسة تامر للتعليم المجتمعي, @the_danish_house_in_palestine supports reading sessions at schools in Palestine, where the children are encouraged to engage with the book’s theme.

ℹ️“Silly Lilly” is written by Danish author @Mette.Vedso and published by @JensenOgDalgaard, translated from Danish to Arabic with support from The Danish House, as Palestinian books have been translated into Danish. The vision is to give Palestinian and Danish children insight into each other’s cultures.

CAN THESE JOURNALISTS CHANGE YOUR LIFE⁉️ They can, and in Palestine they probably will in the near future. All of them part of a new, unique training of Palestinian investigative journalists conducted by International Media Support @forfreemedia and supported by @the_danish_house_in_palestine 🇵🇸 “As a journalist, I must uncover the many things that the people actually do not see. We are the eye of the people, it is our responsibility,” says reporter Anwar Abdoh, joining the intensive days of special training. 🇩🇰 “I am truly amazed by the power of these young journalists. Their ideas are really great, and they really want to make a difference” says the Danish investigative reporter Henrik Jensen, together with Jordanian film maker and media consultant @rawan_damen, he is doing the investigative journalism training.
ℹ️ The group of media professionals - from Hebron, Jerusalem, Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem - learn to keep asking, keep digging, keep searching for the truth.
They search for “the best obtainable version of the truth”, as some of the world’s most famous investigative reporters from @washingtonpost put it. ☝️ READ FULL STORY - GO TO FACEBOOK, LINK IN BIO ☝️ #standupforpressfreedom #journalism #journalist #investigativejournalism #freemedia #corruption #fakenews #free #press #ramallah #jenin #tulkarem #nablus #hebron #jerusalem #westbank #palestine #dhip #makeadifference 🙌

LOVE IS ALL AROUND 🌿❤ October, the first gentle autumn rain, the olive harvest in Palestine is on.
Mother is swinging the metal grill of a scrapped fan, sorting the small fruits from the leaves.
Cigarette smoke and hard working sons climbing the branches, smartphones beneath leaning upwards the hundreds of years old trees while playing the latest hot pop songs.
Oh, so exhausted, teenage boy resting in the shade.
In the end, every single olive is picked and collected in nylon bags by the hands of the family.
The youngest boy, 8 years old, grabs the heavy water canister, tilts it above his head the way his father does and drinks.
For milleniums, the olive has been the most precious crop of Palestinian farmers. A few ancient trees in the region are believed to be more than 3.000 years old, still producing olives. All families share lifelong traditions of the old olive trees, in these weeks parents and their children gather to harvest an estimated ten million trees. In average, there are two trees for every citizen, grandmother or newborn baby, in the Palestinian territories.
In back alleys of almost every city and village, you meet the smooth and slightly spicy scent from the press machines sqeezing the sun, the wind, the rain, the soul out of the fruits into the golden-green oil. In thousands of homes, tubs of all sizes are filled with the green and deep purple olives, every family has their own favorite recipe of pickling.

As the sun sets, leaving the harvest and the family’s home in the mountainous fields of the West Bank village Aboud, mother hands over a small plastic bottle: ”Our love is inside, this is our oil for you,” she says with the distinctive warm smile of exactly a mother.
In this moment, love is all around.
