Organization: CIVITAS, Gaza, Palestine
Duration: 15-30 June 2020

The action is led by the Med Dialogue Fellow Ali Mhanna in partnership with the Gaza Municipality and Civitas Association. The main activity is to reconstruct the marine site of “The Sea is Ours” project to make it a launch pad for its advocacy campaign in the summer. The action aims to reduce negative behaviours practiced by beachgoers in Gaza, by conducting a raising awareness through creative activities, such as theatre and crafts.

Key Activities:
  • Conducting a public information campaign targeting local communities at large, via informative brochures and social media networks
  • Signing MoU with the Gaza Municipality to host activities and cover a 5-kilometre area from shore to be cleaned and preserved.
  • Organizing awareness-raising campaigns with volunteers and trained professionals; recycling workshops; nighttime tours; storytelling sessions; games and competitions; art installations; debates with audience members and policymakers.
  • Planning in collaboration with the Municipality and consultation with the participants, sustainable activities going beyond the common action period.
