From the 2nd to the 9th of March 2017, the JAI has organized and hosted a program in Palestine for 41 students and 7 teacher/board members from two partner Danish schools, namely Dronninglund Efterskole (DE) and Midtsjællands Efterskole (MSE), as part of an ongoing students exchange program since several years.
Their program included meetings, sessions and interaction with Palestinian JAI-trained students, from various communities in the Bethlehem area, namely Beit Sahour town, Dhaisha Refugee Camp, and Dar-Salah village. The sessions included ice-breaking activities and games, walking around in the town, meals and reflections together, besides other workshops and discussion groups.
In one day morning, the DE students and teachers visited the Shepherds High School in Beit Sahour from which two students made a week visit to DE in November-December 2016, while the MSE students and teachers visited Dar-Salah Girls Public School, from which two girls made a week visit to MSE in November-December 2016. The visits to the schools included meeting the rest of the classmates, sub-groups chatting with them, getting to know more about the school and education system, visit the facilities of the school with the Palestinian students and play sports/games together at the schools.
