This May, SCM is sponsoring a delegation of students/young adults to travel to the West Bank in collaboration with Community Peacemaker Teams Canada/Palestine. Participants will spend ten days meeting and learning from local community makers, experiencing the reality of life in occupied Palestine, and participating in non-violent solidarity actions. CPT has extensive experience in running these delegations in a meaningful and safe way.
Participants will be expected to and supported in bringing their learning and experiences to their wider community in the year following their trip, in collaboration with their local SCM unit. Potential participants do not have to already be involved with an SCM unit (although it is great if they are!), but they are expected to connect and work with their local unit (if applicable) in the time leading up to and after the trip.
The majority of the funding for this delegation will be provided/secured by SCM Canada, but participants are expected to fund-raise ~1000$ to contribute to their costs(tools and resources provided).
Applications and more in-depth information will be available in early January. In the meantime, you can complete the expression of interest form. Anyone who completes this form will be sent the application form as soon as it is available.
