summer in palestine
an invitation and a summary of what italy imc is trying to do

Summary of the situation about the project Italy IMC is trying to set up
concerning Palestine

We are focusing on 2 projects:

- helping imc-palestine setting up and working on a space in
Bethlehem
- working on a collective video project with imc palestine and
international videomakers
(more on imc-palestine-video mailing list
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-palestine-video)

The situation is fairly complicated for both things since both in terms
of equipment and in terms of funds the results are still unclear.
We keep working on that but we are not sure of what the outcome and what
the timing of the projects can be

Some of us are beginning to go in palestine in june to develop more
rlationships with palestinians and with organizations in palestine that
will help us finding quipment and money for future projects.
Furthermore the presence of imc people in palestine will help obviously
to coordinate other imcers that are willing to come down there

Anyone interested can contact italy imcers moving to palestine this
summer writing to iniziative-palestina(a)indymedia.it

Other project out htere are looking for volunteers and help
THe Italian National Coordination in Support of the Intifada is working
about three main lines:

- building mediacenters in gaza/jenin/nablus
- hospitals
- kindergardens

They are asking anyone willing to participate to write to them to
coordintifada(a)yahoo.it

We have then interposition projects:
- human chain on 27-28 june
- freedom summer organized by ISM and peace organization in august
