Gallery, TIFF Lightbox

This workshop co-hosted with Learn Palestine invites youth to learn about the Nakba through stories, games, and creative activities and grow their knowledge of Palestine.

The workshop begins with a gallery walk where participants explore Nakba stories around the room, followed by a lively round of trivia games to test and share knowledge. Together, we’ll draw connections between Palestine and Turtle Island, and watch a short story video clips to deepen our understanding of the impacts of settler-colonialism.

Afterwards, in small groups, participants will be assigned a Palestinian city or village and will collaborate on an interactive poster that brings its story to life. These posters will be scanned and shared so everyone has a copy to take home.

The workshop closes with a conversation on why it’s important to speak about the Nakba today, linking it to anti-Palestinian racism, human rights, and ongoing struggles for justice. Through learning, reflection, and creativity, youth will walk away with new knowledge and tools to carry these stories forward.
