The vision of the National Popular Palestinian Conference is that it will be built from the ground up and therefore it will reflect the will of its participants. To help make this a reality, the Program Committee is building the program based on three visions: 1) to create a balance of workshops that affect our community i.e., not all workshops are political or advocacy focused because that does not accurately reflect the diversity of our community; 2) to invite U.S.-based Palestinian organizations in the U.S. to lead workshops of their choice in order to pay due respect to those groups and institutions that have been doing this work for decades; and 3) to leave room for members of the community to submit the workshop of their choice--see the OPEN CALL application. In total, the Program Committee hopes to run 27 workshops or 9 concurrent workshops each spanning 1.5 hours in length, 3 times during the day on Saturday. In order to make room for ad-hoc initiatives, the Program Committee will also be allotting time and space for caucuses to convene. The caucuses can be anything desired by the participants i.e., professional; cultural; identity-based; campaign-focused. Participants will be able to submit their request for a caucus before the conference as well as on-site AT the conference. The Program Committee will also be running three exhibitions: 1) the Organizing Hall of Fame; 2) Photos/art work/installations; and 3) films. We will create a link on the website where you can submit your entries for the exhibitions in the coming weeks--keep your eyes open! If you would like to help build the program, please email Noura at . We look forward to organizing with you! Applications |
