On April 30, 2023, at 1pm Eastern Time, Cambridge Bethlehem People to People Project launched a new series featuring an hour-long program featuring Palestinian activists, cultural workers, community organizers, educators, and health workers speaking on the ground from Palestine: timely interviews with audience participation.

Our first program features Kitam Edelbi who is an expressive arts founder and activist. She works on the ground in the West Bank with formerly incarcerated young men, Bedouin women, children and teachers. Khitam fosters healing in towns, villages, and refugee camps in Palestine. As a Palestinian, her work is not just about creative play. It is resistance and resilience in the face of stress and trauma created by occupation.
