Taking stock of our surroundings

28 January 2009

We spent a good portion of the morning familiarising ourselves with the rest of the (very big) university site where our workshops would be held the next day. Only then did we begin to truly appreciate the enormity of the site, its proximity to the river and the strength of the sun. As we reached the other side of the site, we saw Jamal Jumaa from the Stop the Wall Coalition, a War on Want partner organisation, reading traditional Palestinian poetry on the stage.
