Jerusalem24 – YPlus campaign “Life in Jerusalem if…” will mainly target the international community including third State Representatives. The campaign, launched on the 1st of March, includes a series of digital and physical activities that aim at shedding light on different aspects of the livelihoods of Palestinians residing in East Jerusalem, including their basic human rights that are being violated by the Occupying Power (OP). These rights would include economic and social rights, the right to movement, and access to religious and historical sites in the Old City.
“The campaign targets the knowledge and awareness-raising on Jerusalem, it aims to shed light on the problems Jerusalemites have to go through on daily basis. The campaign also targets the international community because it’s more than just an occupation, its controls every aspect of our lives, we need the responsible international community to take its role”, Yusra Jamous program manager.
It’s important to have an on-hand discussion between the youth and state representatives since the youth are the future of Jerusalem, there’s so much work to do and share with, she added.
Jamous said during an interview on Jerusalem24 that the physical activities of the campaign are designed to bring more attention to the city, it will include study tours inside the Old City followed by bike tours within Jerusalem; and camping trips in two Palestinian displaced villages. Simultaneously, the campaign will include digital productions focusing on those discriminatory policies and acts that are being enacted and executed by the OP in reference to the international law framework. Digital productions will include, human-based and storytelling videos, infographics, digital social cards, and more. These productions will be posted on YPlus’ platforms: Website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
