The Embrace Olive Picking Trip: Saturday 15 – Tuesday 25 October 2022
The olive tree is a potent symbol for the Palestinian people, but it’s so much more than an emblem – it’s a way of life. 100,000 Palestinian families rely on olive production to support their livelihoods but it’s a way of life threatened by settlement expansion, military-zoning and intimidation. Join us as we learn about Palestinian life and culture and what you can do to help protect it.
