HEJ GYMNASIEELEV! BRÆNDER DU FOR AT SKABE HÅB OG FORANDRING? HUSK AT STEMME 🤗

Dit gymnasium er lukket, Danmark er lukket, i hele verden har coronakrisen lagt mange af os ned...men DU kan gøre en forskel: Du kan hjælpe andre unge med at rejse sig op - i Palæstina. 💪 Vi er stolte og glade over, at vores projekt - KUNSTEN AT (OVER)LEVE I PALÆSTINA - er udvalgt til måske at blive til @operation_dagsvaerk 2021.

Vil du hjælpe og gøre en forskel for andre unge? Du kan stemme nu 🙌 🇵🇸 Børn og unge i Palæstina har næsten ingen frihed. De vokser op med vold og restriktioner fra mange sider. 🤸‍♀️ Vi uddanner 300 unge kulturentreprenører. Uddannelsen er ny og varer 12 måneder. En kulturentreprenør lærer at skabe forandring gennem kunst og kultur.

PALESTINE VOICES 🇵🇸 Corona Eyewitness

From her rooftop in Ramallah, enjoying an unique, never-seen-before outdoor popular discoteque, our friend @danaammous tonight shares with @the_danish_house_in_palestine a few live video shots - and we quickly edited a shared personal eyewitness report from the impact of Coronavirus in Palestine:

BREAKING THE SILENCE
How to lift people's spirit during this often silent and somber home quarantine?
In Ramallah on the West Bank, Thursday night (April 2nd 2020 at 8PM), five Palestinian DJ'S pumped up the music, out in public - and invited everyone to join the party from their rooftops and balconies. Plus shared by live streaming on Facebook.

Since one month, Palestine has been in state of emergency - including now weeks of curfew. Today, in southern West Bank, three people were sentenced 1 year prison each for violation of the state of emergency declaration

Tonight's event is called "Covid-19 Flashmob". Sharing a good time together - while keeping distance.

This is (also) Palestine.

PALESTINE VOICES 👁🇵🇸 Corona Eyewitness

First and so far only reported death in Palestine from Coronavirus was few days ago in the village Bido - moments later Donia, 14 years old Palestinian school girl, sent us and now shares with @the_danish_house_in_palestine her personal eyewitness report from the impact of Coronavirus in Palestine: "This is a live story from a small village called Bidu, north of Jerusalem, south west of Ramallah. I am from Bidu, and my name is Donia. ▫️Coronavirus has spread to many parts of Palestine, also Ramallah, 13 kilometers from my village. With the curfew, we hoped to stop the virus from spreading in my village (...) ▫️But after two days of curfew, it has become clear that we have a Coronacase, a woman who is approximately 65 years old, and her infection (reportedly) came from her son who works in the lands of '48 (Israel), inside the occupied area, due to the bad economic situation in our area ▫️ (...) The police cordoned off the village, especially the area that surrounds the house of the infected woman. Health staff began examining her children and all members of her family, took samples for each individual, then they sterilized their homes and all the streets of the village▫ The infected woman now (25th March) has died. She is considered to be the first death in Palestine due to this mean virus▫The authorities took her family members to quarantine, approximately 100 people, including my girlfriend, who is next to my house(...)▫️(...) situation in Palestine worse day by day. My education is getting worse. But what about my feelings? (...) What a difficult and harsh crisis going on in my life (...)."

"SHARE YOUR SONGS, PLAYS AND JOKES"🎺🤸‍♀️🤡 Tamer Institute for Community Education مؤسسة تامر للتعليم... - one of @the_danish_house_in_palestine 's great partners - is encouraging people's social activities in Palestine, now when families are forced to stay home to prevent spreading even more the Coronavirus: "Since this strange thing began, we no longer leave the house...we have replaced my family sitting by jumping on the bed... share with us some songs and jokes, and share with us how you play"

Since weeks, state of emergency and a now week-long curfew have put many (additional) restrictions on freedom of movement in the West Bank, on the educational system, as well as on kids just playing with other kids can be difficult and sometimes impossible.

PALESTINE VOICES 👁🇵🇸 Corona Eyewitness

First cases of Coronavirus in Palestine was in Beit Jala next to Bethlehem - Marina D. J. Barham, director of @alharahtheaterpal in Beit Jala, shares with @the_danish_house_in_palestine her personal eyewitness report from the impact of Coronavirus in Palestine:

FEAR AND SOLIDARITY "At first just panic and fear. That was Marina’s first feelings, when she learned that a group of tourists had been tested positive for the Coronavirus just around the corner in her hometown. At this moment, she was in Ramallah on the West Bank for an event: (…)
- I was very scared for my mother, who was staying sick at her home. Most pharmacies did not have any hygienegel and medicine for my mother. Finally, I managed to get two bottles of disinfection and five masks.
Fear growing as Marina soon after found out that her sister too could be in risk:
- My sister was in a taxi with a driver who was under quarantine. For days, we did not want my sister near my mom. Luckily, the driver was tested negative, but for almost one week we were incredibly scared. (…)
- We began doing meetings with Facebook and Skype, and now we share some of our old plays, just online. Once a week, we share one play for children, one for adults. We also do a mapping project of freelance artists with no jobs, no money, and hope to support them.

The theater director fears the future both in Palestine and in neighbouring Israel where ten-thousands of Palestinians work: - These Palestinians are in bad conditions, and we worry they are send back to us on the West Bank with the virus - (…) read full story on our Facebook, link in bio 👆

@Abdallah.Maraka, 29 years, certified tour guide in Hebron – now unemployed - shares with @the_danish_house_in_palestine his personal eyewitness report from the impact of Coronavirus in Palestine:

MIXED FEELINGS “Everything around me is now quiet, no cars, no noise. Just silence (...) In the middle of the peaceful morning of the first day of curfew, suddenly sirens sound from a police car begin.
When a loudspeaker begins ordering people to stay at home, stay behind closed doors for their safety, directly memories come to my mind: 18 years old memories from the Second Intifada, from the curfew back then, implemented by the Israeli army.
