INTERNATIONAL SUMMER CAMP

2012
 “LIVE AND EXPERIENCE PALESTINIAN DAILY LIFE”



                                         “ISC”
        You are invited to the International Summer Camp in Hebron,
 Palestine, hosted by Excellence Center, a local educational institution. ISC is
 a cultural immersion program for internationals taking place this fall. As a
 student and cultural ambassador in Palestine, you will have the opportunity
 to experience Palestinian daily life and familiarize yourself with the area’s
 rich history. The program will provide participants with an entertaining,
 enriching, and dynamic stay.

 Visitors will have an authentic view of the West Bank led by Palestinian
 guides. The camp includes speakers from a variety of backgrounds including
 education, intercultural communications and Palestinian studies. You will
 see firsthand the many traditions, cultures, foods and people of this vibrant
 land.

 In addition, this year participants will arrive to the West Bank just in time to
 experience the final days of one of the five pillars of Islam, Ramadan!
 During this month, adult Muslims must fast from dawn until sunset and do
 not eat or drink. However, some people (children, the elderly or infirm,
 travelers and expecting mothers) are excused from fasting. There is one
 night that is especially important called Lailat al-Qadr, or The Night of
 Destiny. This night marks the first occasion on which the Prophet
 Mohammed received the Holy Quran and falls on one of the last ten nights
 of Ramadan. Also, after the last day of this month, there is Eid al-Fitr.
 During Eid al-Fitr, children wear new clothes, receive gifts and people visit
their friends and relatives. Ramadan is a celebrated and prayerful time in
Muslim countries and will be a wonderful glimpse into Islamic culture for
visitors in Palestine.
Come experience Palestine from an insider’s view!

ISC’s Goal

The Excellence Center aims to achieve a diverse cultural exchange and
social dialogue at ISC by hosting people from around the world. These
diverse perspectives will enrich the camp, the Center and participants. You
will see true Palestinian life and be introduced to new points of view. The
ISC Program promises a positive and enriching experience.

ISC provides the opportunity for internationals to:

 Live in Hebron, including trips to the Old City, holy sites and local
  refugee camps.
 Learn spoken Arabic from native speakers and embrace the opportunity to
  communicate with locals
 Travel to historical locations and nearby cities including Jerusalem,
  Jericho, Ramallah, Nablus and Bethlehem
 Spend time and live with a Palestinian host family, if desired
 Visit Palestinian universities, local institutions and organizations
  specializing in culture and education
 Eat local Palestinian foods and desserts
 Attend cultural nights featuring entertainment, activities and sport
 Listen to distinguished lecturers discussing Palestinian heritage and
  history.


Volunteer work
You will have the opportunity to give back to the community through
volunteer work during your time in Hebron. For example you may spend an
afternoon working with the Old City Rehabilitation committee or lead a
group of Palestinian students in lessons on your native language. This will
help immerse you further into the community and allow you to leave a
positive contribution from you time in Palestine.


Eligibility for ISC

     English speakers who are above 18 are eligible to participate in ISC.
To apply, please read the enclosed information and submit your resume and
a completed application to apply@excellencenter.org by June 30th, 2012.

traveling within Palestine during the week are included and will be arranged
for the guests.


Selection Date

      We will confirm your acceptance to participate in ISC via email by
July 10th. Following your selection we will arrange a meeting via Skype to
discuss the details of your trip and travel arrangements.

      Travel arrangements and accommodations within the West Bank will

Traveling to and from Hebron

       The West Bank is accessible by border crossings from Israel and
Jordan. From Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, take a shared taxi to
Damascus Gate in Jerusalem, and then a bus to Bethlehem. A representative
of Excellence Center will be waiting to escort you to Hebron. Participants
have the option of extending their stay in the area to include traveling to
other countries either before or after ISC.

social discourse and understanding, while giving participants an authentic
experience of the West Bank.



About Excellence Center

     Located on Ein Sara, the main street of Hebron, Excellence Center
specializes in providing convenient educational services to students and
professionals. Due to a lack of resources many Palestinians lack proficiency
in foreign languages and communication skills. Such deficiencies pose
serious challenges to obtaining a university degree and participating in the
labor market.
We offer language classes at all levels and courses on other critical subjects
     such as CV and cover letter writing and interview preparation. The English
     conversation program pairs participants with native speakers so that they
     have the opportunity to improve speaking, listening, and comprehension. We
     believe hosting teachers from abroad facilitates diversity and cultural
     immersion in the classroom. The Excellence Center also provides career
     consulting services in areas such as project management and proposal and
     research writing. Obtaining proficiency in these fields enables graduates of
     EC courses to better themselves and help build a positive future for
     Palestine.
