Building unity requires us to first know ourselves – where we came from, what has come before us and why we are where we are today. In the Palestinian context, decades of imposed fragmentation, together with the depoliticization of society driven by the Oslo system, have encouraged individual skill-building rather than collective learning. It has detached Palestinians from knowing the long and deep history of our political struggle, including the institutions, associations and intellectual production that shaped our struggle before Oslo.

How can we ensure a new generation that is politically aware, knows their country and each other, and is equipped to contribute to our collective struggle? What gaps and opportunities are there within formal and informal education?
