200 students and their parents participated in the voting day on the ideas of the initiatives presented within Ibda’ Youth program in the schools, at Ibad Al-Rahman Exemplary School– Gaza, on Wednesday, March 3, 2019.

The second winning initiative “Reviving the Palestinian Identity” targets the school students, and trains them in the Palestinian Folkloric dance Dabkeh, in order to participate in national and heritage events/festivals thus preserving the cultural and societal heritage.
