Description
In a set of three seminars, the PASSIA civic education project sought to develop and em¬power groups of young Palestinian professionals to deal more effectively with the tasks ahead by enhancing their civic knowledge, skills and norms. Local and foreign experts in the field imparted basics such as the meaning of constitutional democracy, types of government, features of the political system, and the ability to identify public issues and influence public policy decisions. In addition, each seminar focused on a specific issue: one on Citizenship, one on Human Rights, and one on Community Development. This publication contains a selection of the lectures and presentations given during those three seminars, as well as an outline of the lecture programs and a selected bibliography.
