Next tour - Twinning Network - October 2008.

The twinning network is a network of groups making friendship and twinning links between places big and small in Britain and in Palestine. It exists in order to promote and support the development of such friendship links and to enable groups taking part to learn from each other’s experiences. The groups which link to the network are organised in quite different ways from each other. They can become members of the twinning network if they agree with its aims:

(1) The core aim of the Twinning Network is to;

- to promote human rights (as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent United Nations conventions and declarations) and respect for international humanitarian law in Palestine,

- by raising awareness of human rights and humanitarian issues relevant to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

- and by promoting public support for human rights and the observance of international humanitarian law

(2) In order to do this, the Twinning Network will;

- organise meetings, conferences, speaking tours and visits to Palestine

- promote formal and informal links at all levels between British and Palestinian communities, with emphasis on grass roots friendship links

- provide resources that will enable interested new groups to establish friendship links with Palestinian Communities

- bring together groups in Britain that have friendship links with Palestine, to share their experiences and ideas and help them to achieve the aims of the network

If you are interested in twinning or building friendship links with Palestinian communities please contact us.

(Membership costs just £30 per group per annum. Individuals who support our work can join for free, donations towards our costs welcome. More ....)
