SHAREK’S VISION AND MOTIVATION: BECOMING THE MESSENGER OF THE HOPES AND FEARS OF THE PALESTINIAN YOUTH
Sharek’s aim is to promote and to develop the abilities of the youth as a real chance to achieve peace and justice in Palestine. The youth by itself has the power and the inspiration, all what they need is the skill and the direction. Along the previous five years, we have reached thou- sands of young people, and developed their skills so that they become more active in their
life. This is a moral imperative and a developmental necessity. But it is also an opportunity: the energy of the youth can ignite faltering economies.
I am regularly inspired by the good will, talent and idealism of the young people I meet across Palestine. They are making important contributions to our work to eradicate poverty. We have established new mechanisms to ensure that youth are really implementing partners in all projects, not only a beneficiary. During the coming years, Sharek will focus on the need to encourage dialogue and understanding across generations, cultures and religions. In a world in which different people and traditions are coming closer, and have more frequent contact than ever before, it is crucial that young people learn how to listen intently, empathize with others, acknowledge divergent opinions, and be able to resolve conflicts.
Because we believe that the future is made by young people!
Moheeb Shaath, 31 Gaza Director
WELCOME TO SHAREK’S FIRST E-MAGAZINE!
We at Sharek believe that youth should challenge themselves and their society in order to blossom into active citizens and push for change. We are a youth-led organization that breaks world records and builds bridges!
This first issue of our e-magazine brings to you the voice of youth in Gaza. A voice that is easily overheard. A voice that almost never reaches beyond the wall. A voice that deserves your attention right now! We want to show the rest of the world that we, the youth in Gaza, are bright, ambitious and strong despite of all the problems and limitations we face on a daily basis. We strive for a better future and are therefore engaged in empowering other young people across the Gaza Strip. Only by insisting on our dignity and by living out our potential we are able to shape a better future for all of us.
We hope you enjoy our first e-magazine! Sharek’s Staff, Gaza
