For the second year in a row, IPYL has organised a conference about media and democracy in the local community..

Between the 16th and 17th of May 2007, IPYL, through it's media section MEDHEBRON organised a 2 day conference, regarding media and democracy, to build upon what started last year, with the first edition of this conference.

This event brought together 50 youngsters from all over the Hebron District, who had chance to listen to speaches by experts in the field of media and democracy, and also had there chance to ask their questions and spread there views on the discussed topics.


This seminar was co-financed by the Euromed Youth Programme of the European Union.

For the third year in a row, youth organisations from the Middle East have joined efforts to build up a common agenda of workcamps between June 2007 and December 2007.

For several years youth organizations have been organizing workcamps in the Middle East. While the majority of these camps took place in Palestine, some initiatives have taken place elsewhere. For the third year, three voluntary and youth organizations in the Middle East, (Palestine and Egypt) are cooperating with each other in organizing a unified workcamps directory for the region. After the great success of last year, we became more determined to give the best chances for international volunteers to travel and see as much as possible from this region and its potentials.

IPYL, GUDRAN and YDD are joining efforts to present a unified workcamps program this season. The idea is to strentghten our network in the region and to exchange experiences and expertise. This way instead of competing against each other, we can work collectively to build our capacities and therefore bring a double benefit to our members and beneficiaries.

Moreover, the main aim behind this cooperation is to provide international volunteers with a wide choice of workcamps and the opportunity to participate in number of camps in different countries. We hope that this spirit of mutual collaboration will lead to increased opportunities for our local and international volunteers to experience the benefits of inter-cultural learning, and to inspire an atmosphere of peace.

As a result of the this cooperation, we are very happy to present to you a program of 8 workcamps in Egypt and in Palestine for 2007.

We are looking forward to seeing motivated volunteers in Palestine and the Middle East!
