This thematic group focuses on teenagers living in Western and Eastern side of Jerusalem. The main objective of the Israeli, Palestinian and youth groups is to highlight youth needs and visions including in education, safety and well-being, activities and employment. The method used to tackle those issue will be through workshops and photovoice in schools in East and West Jerusalem and with Kids for Peace.
The groups utilize “photo voice” to capture focus areas and give voice to diverse members of the Jerusalem community. The selected photos on priority problems and visions for change will become a part of a rotating exhibition along with other Jerusalem themes including public spaces, youth and education and political representation. The thematic groups will also contribute to policy papers that will highlight concerns of Jerusalem residents and make recommendations to local, national and international policy makers. In addition, this policy paper will highlight examples and case studies that might help solve youth problems in the city.
