The training lasted for three days, during which the participants learned how to make puppets, move them, write stories, and how to tell them using puppets. Doll making is one of the activities of the Sawaed Forum, which is held at frequent intervals, aiming to develop children’s abilities and as a tool for psychologically relieving life’s stresses.
Future Youth Arms Forum implements the initiative “Forming clay and pottery products”.
With the aim of relieving the psychological pressures and challenges facing society as a result of the war on the Gaza Strip, a relief initiative related to the Palestinian land and heritage was implemented with the participation of 62 male and female participants. The initiative includes educational activities about the historical craft of pottery, how to manufacture clay for pottery production, and learning about the tools for shaping clay and producing pottery vessels. During the initiative, the participants produced artistic pieces with their own hands with the help of the trainers, and each participant was given a gift of his own production.
This initiative comes within the activities of the “Positive Youth Participation” (PYE) program implemented by the Palestinian Child Home Club and Mercy Corps in partnership with the International Youth Foundation (IYF).
