ICAHD & Torat Tzedek's 2018 October Camp Questionnaire

The 2018 Camp spends time in the Occupied Palestine Territory and is about strengthening your involvement in the global movement for peace in the Middle East by learning about the issues and how to advocate for justice. Please tell us more about you.

How did you learn about the October 2018 Camp?

Have you ever travelled to the Middle East and if so, when, where and why?

Please describe any involvement with activism, social change, or human rights work.

Please explain why you would like to join the ICAHD & Torat Tzedek 2018 October Camp.

Participation in the 2018 Camp carries a responsibility to use the experience as a basis for advocacy and education once you return home. Therefore, the camp also includes opportunities to go on field trips and to hear from Israelis and Palestinians who work in various ways for equality and human rights and who oppose Israeli government policy of demolitions, displacement and other violations of the 4th Geneva Convention. Participants will receive resources, and sessions on advocacy will be included to help equip you to tell your story once you return home. Are you willing to report back to your networks and to tell others about your experience either by speaking to them or by writing about your participation in the October camp? For those from countries with existing ICAHD or Torat Tzedek groups, are you willing to join the organization and work to strengthen their campaign, maintaining your connection with ICAHD or Torat Tzedek?

Do you have any skills that could be useful during the camp – experience with house construction, Arabic speaker, musician, photographer, videographer, journalist, IT knowledge, etc?

Are there physical or health limitations that we should be aware of? Please state any chronic health problems that you have. Note that all necessary medication must be brought from home. All camp participants need to be physically fit and able to work in the heat.

Important: We do not provide travel and health insurance coverage. Camp participants must make sure that they take out a policy which covers them for the duration of their trip. You are required to inform us of your insurance company and policy number before travel. Travel agents can provide advice on available policies.
