ReCap: The Refugee camp Project

Structure

At first, approximately 30 medical students (10 internationals, 20 locals) will be invited to attend a workshop at the Al-Quds University in Jerusalem, which will provide background information on refugees, children and war, non-violent conflict resolution, and the current health situation in Palestine in the form of:

• Pre-reading materials. These will include essays and journal articles which provide a theoretical framework and knowledge base for each topic covered in the working groups. Also included will be case studies, NGO reports and other fieldwork documentation to demonstrate the practical application of the material. Lecturers and NGOs will be asked to suggest relevant materials.
• Lectures, that will give the essential information about the issues listed in the educational goals.
• Workshops and discussions in which there will be opportunity to discuss the lectures, learn a little bit of the Arabic language and prepare for the time in the refugee camps.

Part 2 - Action Phase:
This phase constitutes the social activities carried out by the international students, with the help of local medical students, namely:

• Rotations at the local clinics in the morning
• Various activities with children in the camps in the afternoons
