The interns will be at the forefront of relationship-building between international visitors and locals. Engage in Palestine offers this flexible program year-round (Summer, Winter, Fall, and Spring), for periods of between 1 and 13 weeks, with the choice of start and end dates entirely up to the participant. In order to better inform participants of the complexities surrounding human rights in Palestine, Engage in Palestine will organise visits to human rights organizations, Palestinian community centers, local activists, Palestinian refugee camps and Palestinian families.
The Human Rights Internship program is open to students of all levels, native and non-native English speakers, graduate and undergraduate students of Middle Eastern studies, Arabic studies, political sciences, scholars conducting case studies on Palestine and Israel, human aid worker, professionals, researchers, retirees and anyone who would like to help and contribute meaningfully to the Palestinian community in the West Bank.
