From the olive tree to the key of return, Palestinian symbols carry powerful stories of identity, memory, and resistance. Co-hosted with Learn Palestine, participants in this interactive workshop for youth, will explore the meanings behind some of the most important Palestinian cultural symbols through conversation, games, art-making.

The workshop kicks off with a gallery walk, where youth will follow clues to match each symbol with its history and meaning. Together, we’ll go over the answers and dive deeper into the stories behind them. Then, we’ll test everyone’s knowledge with a lively round of a trivia game that makes learning fun and collaborative.

Finally, youth get creative by designing their own symbols that they can personalize and turn into something fun that they can wear on their clothes or hang in their room—a unique connection to Palestinian culture and identity.
