Who we are
Pal Youth Forum is a Palestinian youth organisation. We bring together young people who want to stay connected to their heritage - through dance, language, poetry, and open conversation about stories, crafts, and traditions.
Our sessions are welcoming whether you grew up here or abroad. We run dabka training, poetry circles, and workshops on tatreez, folk food, olive harvest traditions, and village life passed down through generations.
نحمل تراثنا حيثما كنا
We carry our heritage wherever we are.
