Challenges facing youth and ways to address them
In a related context, the department organized a workshop for young people under the title “Challenges facing young people and ways to address them” in two branches of the center, Wadi Hilweh and Batn Al Hawa in Silwan Town.
Salim said: “There are challenges facing the youth of the town of Silwan as a result of the constant and systematic political violence against them, and the internal psychological pressures that cause them to feel tense. The aim of the meeting was to give authority to psychological disorders, how to understand the external and internal challenges and to be able to solve and confront them, as well as to get rid of the anger that is caused as a result of these challenges.
Internet and adolescence
In the same context, the department organized in cooperation with the Palestinian Center for Guidance another workshop entitled “Internet and adolescence” in which young men and their mothers participated in the branch of Ein Al Loza – Silwan.
The coordinator of Ein Al Loza branch, Abeer Abbasi said: “The workshop included a variety of activities where participants were divided into groups and discussed stories related to the Internet and adolescence, in order for both “teenagers and mothers” to understand each other’s way of thinking and to give trust, but at the same time to be cautious about the dangers of the Internet.
Interrogation and arrest
On another note, the Center organized a legal workshop on “interrogation and arrest”, in which a group of young people participated, including those who were subjected to detention.
