Voices Across Boundaries
 

 Voices Across Boundaries was a project carried out by PYALARA and sponsored by the European Commission in Jerusalem. This project involved the invitation of a group of Egyptian and Jordanian journalists and media specialists to meet with Palestinian youth and to have a close look at the condition under which the Palestinians are living.

Egyptian and Jordanian journalists along with young Palestinian journalists had the opportunity to share experiences,

 and discuss and compare youth problems and needs throughout meetings and workshops held at PYALARA premises. Participants had the chance to interact and give constructive guidance to one another. They were encouraged to reflect critically on the circumstances under which they live, and to come forward with ideas on how to improve their rights and social awareness.
