November 2005Poetry Competition
for Palestinian Refugee Youth
Palestinian refugee camps, Syria
In partnership with the Arab Writers’ Union, whose members served as judges and advisors, local writers and artists in the Palestinian refugee camps in Syria came together to organise a poetry competition for Palestinian children. The Jafra Centre advertised and administered the poetry competition and the HOPING grant allowed the Centre to publish the winning entries, and print 1000 copies to be distributed to all UNRWA schools, youth centres and libraries in Syria.
