The Ibrahimi Center over the past 7 years has been involved in many activities including:

  • Providing a combined cultural education and language program for people coming to live in Gaza from outside - returnee Palestinians and foreign wives of Palestinians as well as internationals living temporarily in Gaza.

  • Receiving and Sending students in an exchange program with Norwegian Schools.


  • Sending representatives to joint Palestinian-Israeli seminars and other activities to promote dialogue and communication.
  • A planned project between theIbrahimi Center and Israeli organisation the Van LeerJerusalem Institute to set up a Women's Forum - involving a series of meetings over the course of a year between a group of Palestinian and Israeli women to discuss the issues that affect them both.
