The overall objective of the project is to create sustainable structures
for grassroots organisations in the Azzeh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem. As there is no municipality responsible for
the camp, there are attempts for self-rule in form of the Popular Committee. The project will train future leaders
of community activities on professional management and standards. This includes responsibilities for human resources,
training capabilities, organisation of groups, financial management and fundraising, international cooperation
and media relations as well as cooperation with local government. It includes also conflict prevention, training
for trainers of community activities (sports club, house repairing brigade, internet access point, kindergarten)
to better organise a fair share of the facilities and resources (computers, tools, toys, sports equipment), to
integrate disabled people into the activities and trainings, to integrate women, to prevent conflict with families
of participants, to promote special skills for better qualified
participants without raising jealousy, to deal with stress and frustration, to share skills and create self-responsibility.
The project will build up and organise a support center for community
initiatives inside the camp, including training and call-in-support for leaders of sports groups, house repairing
brigade, kindergarten. Special management training will be provided for local staff to run these facilities at
the beginning of the project. The facility will include 6 computers
online, sports room and equipment, kindergarten and equipment, house repairing equipment, training room, secretariat
for call-in-support (open to all members of the community initiatives).
For the first time, an important element of one of our projects concerns sport activities, as necessary addition
to other activities, such as internet, employability training and voluntary community support.
