Why Palestine?
Since 2013, our ongoing presence and award-winning projects have reached hundreds of young people across the West Bank and won recognition from supporters around the world. We work with communities affected by the ongoing conflict, facing severely limited access to sporting opportunities.
WHY SKATEBOARDING?
Skateboarding has the potential to dissolve barriers between class, race, age and gender. It isn’t hierarchical - it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a professional, a child or an adult - skateboarding is fun!
WHY PALESTINE?
More than half of all Palestinians living in the occupied territories are under 21 years old. Yet for many young people across the West Bank and Gaza, cultural, educational and sporting opportunities are severely limited.
"Skateboarding is not for a specific type of person, skateboarding is for everyone no matter what religion, colour or place, it’s for everyone."
- Malak, local volunteer in Ramallah
