仕事内容 Project Description:
The project seeks to bring young people from various cultures together to build cultural bridges of understanding, reconciliation and global peace. The long-term goal of project is to prepare youth to make positive contributions to society through the values of global understanding, helping, contributing tolerance, and respectful global coexistence and building on common grounds of cultural proximities and differences. These goals are achieved through education, informational, awareness raising, youth empowerment and voluntary work camps. The city of Bethlehem has global value to all mankind, since it reflects the common universal human values that should be the guiding light for all human beings.

The volunteers will work in different areas in Bethlehem city and surrounding areas. The work will include; participating in the Christmas celebrations, painting walls, renovation and restoration of some places, gardening and tree planting.
宿泊 The volunteers will be hosted at the IPYL volunteers flat in Hebron (20 KM south city of Bethlehem) men and women will stay in separate rooms. The accommodation includes hot water, kitchen and hangout space. The place has fast internet connection including computers and presentations equipment (the media center of IPYL is beside the flat). The volunteers will cook breakfasts, lunches and dinners by themselves (daily cooking teams to be established). In some cases, lunch will be served during the work time. Tea and coffee will be available all the time at the form and the hangout space. There might be curfew for the work camp, which would be around midnight, unless we have some activities around outside that night/evening. The camp is alcohol and drugs free, volunteers can’t drink alcohol during the camp duration. The camp leaders will designate some local bars in Bethlehem where volunteers can drink.
場所 Bethlehem. The city of Bethlehem is an open minded city where bars, clubs, cafe's are everywhere. Its a very touristic city with many places for fun exist. In the evenings, cultural and social actions will be organized at the center together with locals. special cultural program will be designed for the international volunteers to learn more about the socio-cultural situation in Palestine,

The afternoon will be dedicated to educational and cultural activities that will expose volunteers to Palestinian culture and history, and that will help volunteers to understand the reality of life under occupation. The program will include lectures, display of documentaries, visits to refugee camps in the Bethlehem area and tours of other places of interest. The program will provide many opportunities for interaction with locals. Volunteers will have the opportunity to speak with Palestinian activists and to ask whatever questions they have about the situation in Palestine
集合場所 Arrival Information for Palestine/ IPYL workcamp How to get to Palestine/ workcamp meeting point: 1. If you are coming by plane to Tel AVIV: From the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel-Aviv, the easiest (and cheapest) way to get to the meeting point is to take a shared taxi (Sherout in Hebrew) from the airport to Jerusalem. These taxies (vans) are parking directly outside the main door of the airport. They work 24 hours and cost around 50 New Israeli Shekel ?ILS- (about 13 ?). A Sherout is a white van or mini-bus, which normally takes 9 passengers. If the taxi is not full, you will have to wait. It takes about 50-60 minutes to get from Ben Gurion (Tel Aviv) airport to Jerusalem (depending in the traffic situation). This is the most convenient and the safest way to travel from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. We don't advise you to take public buses. The Israeli driver of the Sherouts will drop you where you want in the way to Jerusalem on in Jerusalem (some drivers, though, might not agree to drive you to East Jerusalem: Damascus Gate or Herod's Gate). You can ask the driver to drop you at Damascus Gate (by the ancient wall of the Old City of Jerusalem), or at the closest point possible (New Gate- another ancient Gate of the old city). Once you are there, do not enter the old city. Outside, in the street opposite to Damascus Gate, you will find the Bus station choose Bus number 231 that transports to “Bet Jala-Bethlehem” ask the driver to drop you at the very last station near to the traffic lights, (called Bab Ezqaq Junction), which will be our meeting point, one of our local volunteer will be waiting there to pick you up to the camp and drive you to the site/accommodation. The drive from Jerusalem to the meeting point is around 30-40 minutes (depending on the traffic situation of your arrival time). (The journey from east Jerusalem to Bethlehem cost about 8-9 NIS= 2 euros). This bus works only till 7 PM. 2. If coming through Jordanian borders: When arriving at Amman International airport, you have to buy a visa (around 60-70 Euros) before passport control. Usually this visa is valid for 6 months and allows you to cross to Palestine (Israel) from any crossing point between both countries. There are 3 crossing passages between both countries (Jordan and Israel) one in the north called; Sheikh Hussien (near the sea of Galilee) and one in the south called Aqaba crossing near the Red Sea. Both are touristic crossings in both direction (but it will cost you some extra money to cross- entrance tax/visa). From the borders take bus to get to Jerusalem and then follow the instructions as above. The third crossing is called KING HUSSIEN Crossing (in the Jordan Valley near the Dead Sea and takes you to Jericho city) which is the easiest and closer to the meeting point. Once crossed the borders, you will find Sherut (service small vans for 6- 9 passengers) with yellow plates. These vans take you straight to Damascus Gate in East Jerusalem and then follow the instructions to Bet Jala as above. Please note that Jordan charges 60-70 Euros/ passport as visa cost when you land at their airports. Meeting Point: Place: last bus station near to the traffic lights, (called Bab Ezqaq junction) Date: xxxxx Time of Meeting: xxx PM Those arriving later than this meeting time on that day should inform us in advance and we will arrange another pick up for you. Please use the same route as above unless we told you differently. Visas and Arrival: Citizen from most western countries can obtain visa on the spot at any Israeli border point. But, please, check it beforehand with the Israeli Embassy in your country to see if this is still the case or if there has been any change. When you arrive to the Israeli border, the Border officials could question you and could search your luggage and sometimes yourself in an exhaustive way. This is normal for Israeli security procedures, no need to be paranoid. Usually they do that for people who want to express solidarity with the Palestinian people. In all cases, it’s up to the volunteer to what to tell the security, but the best is that they tell the truth; to say that you are coming to take part in a voluntary work in the city of Bethlehem and celebrate Christmas in the this holy city with an organization called IPYL. Please always remember that you are not doing anything illegal at all. The border officer will scan your passport and handle you a small piece of paper, which is actually the visa. Please keep it safe inside your passport during all the time you are in the country and don’t lose it.
