Following a proposal submitted to the International Cooperation Office of the province of Naples, the Palestine Media Unit, was invited to participate in the International Cooperation Day organized by the Province.

The meeting gathered together a number of officials of Naples province together with representatives from various developing countries who are working on projects that were adopted and financed by the International Cooperation Office of the Province.  People from Tanzania, Afghanistan, Peru and other countries talked about the importance of these projects to their local population and described the different phases of the projects.

Mira Nabulsi, the Assistant Coordinator of Zajel Youth Exchange Program of the Public Relations Department at An-Najah National University, represented the Palestine Media Unit at the meeting. She made a presentation about the Youth Exchange Program as well as the Zajel Media Website which will be the Palestinian partner for the Italian Project “Click for Peace”. Some Italian movie makers from “Cantieri Dell’ Imaginario” are involved in this project in Naples as well as some other local associations. The project aims to create a multilingual website that uses video communication and other modern techniques to encourage intercultural dialogue and the exchange of knowledge about the cultures involved in the project.

The visit lasted for almost nine days during which Ms Nabulsi visited some local associations, including Spacio Kultura Antagonista, SKA, several youth centers and Il Manifesto newspaper, in addition to meeting the Cantieri dell’ Imaginario group and discussing future plans and ideas for developing intercultural cooperation between the two sides.
