Gaza Students Photographic Exhibition Launched
On Thursday November 12, 1998, the Gaza Students Campaign (under the auspices of the Human Rights Action Project of Birzeit University) opened a photo exhibition entitled “The Right to Education: Young People under Occupation.” The event was held at the gallery and cafe “Al-Matal” in Lower Ramallah and was on display through to Sunday 15 November 1998.
The Gaza Students Campaign has initiated a photo competition to highlight the struggles of Gazan students seeking education in the West Bank. The exhibition, featuring contributions from nine Palestinian photojournalists, is sponsored by the UNDP, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The selected photographs focus on the daily challenges faced by young Palestinians under occupation and their fight for the right to education. The exhibition is set to tour European and North American universities as part of the campaign, with a launch in Oslo on November 19, aligning with the International Day of Action for the Gaza Students Campaign. The initiative aims to raise global awareness through powerful visual storytelling.
