JERUSALEM – Al-Razee Cultural and Social Association in Jerusalem started a students initiative entitled “Nonviolence as Our Lifestyle ” in partner with PalThink for Strategic Studies and FXB France.

Association staff of trainers in the department of Educational Activities and members of Al-Quds Students Parliament had field visits for a group of students to whom they gave training courses on civic engagement, civic society and creative writing in these fields.

Dozens of students presented creative writings of poetry, thoughts, short stories and articles and they will be published in a special volume of the magazine of the association. Parliament voted for the best presentations after being presented to a specialized committee which chose the best pieces of writing for the final day of the initiative.

Jamil Al-Dweik, Manager of Association, stated that the magazine will be released in a special ceremony and then will be distributed to schools, summer camps, youth camps and Jerusalem institutions.
