In a unique departure for Cafe Palestine we are proud to present live zoom theatre written and performed in English from Palestine by young Palestinians.
The Hands up Project is a UK registered charity, providing English language development for young people in Palestine, through online storytelling, drama and intercultural link ups. We run an annual remote theatre competition and thousands of young people in Palestine have submitted plays for this. The plays are also published in book format and available to buy here.
