RETURN
November 2024
November 8 - 15 - 22, 2024
Facilitator: Natalie Fasheh
Over three sessions, participants will explore the theme of "return" in relation to Palestinians; their displacement, hopes and wishes of return, and right of return. Participants will learn a song in Arabic relating to the theme. We will have some dialogue about the theme, and through vocal improvisation activities, and engaging singing and harmony warmups, we will also incorporate our collective learnings of "return" into a song.
We will have the chance to share these songs in the Saturday mingling event on November 23!
