My summer in Palestine

by: Linda Appoloni - ItalyProgram: Internship in Palestine - Refugees, Law & Human Rights 2025

My name is Linda, I’m 19 and I’m from Italy. I study political science and I therefore decided to apply for the Human Rights Internship here at the Excellence Center. I chose to come to Palestine for many different reasons, but mainly because I was attending a class about this geographical region and I wanted to learn about it directly from the field, rather than just from the books. I spent 6 weeks at the center and I had an amazing experience: the staff at the center is super friendly and ...

The program consisted of unforgettable trips, meetings, and discussions in Hebron and beyond, including a tour of the old town and Al Ibrahimi Mosque, and a visit to Al Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron. Although my stay was short, I was still a...
