Some examples of the Centre’s media activities are: Raise Your Voice is a radio program that discusses development issues in Palestine, and is broadcasted weekly on Voice of Palestine. It provides a forum for debate and an opportunity for Palestinians to speak out on issues of concern to them. Raise Your Voice is broadcasted in Arabic.
On 25 May, 1998 the first issue of the monthly supplement "Al-Baydar" (The Harvest) was published. Its aim is to document and analyze the Palestinian development experience from different perspectives. Although it faced by numerous technical and administrative problems, it established itself as a critical publication aimed at public awareness-raising. The monthly eight-page supplement provides articles and reports that touches on many of the grievances and concerns of the Palestinian people. Issues discussed included labour, unemployment, poverty, education, refugees, infrastructure, housing and Jerusalem. Al-Baydar also covers issues of community concern, such as health, rural development and violence in the society. It also provides a voice to marginalized regions, remote and neglected locations, and to those whose voice usually goes unheard. |
