A group of 13 Palestinian dancers – Keffiyeh Center – Palestine, Nablus, New Askar Refugee Camp, arrived to Paris the 21 June to start a dance shows in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
As I volunteer the European service sent by keffiyeh and welcome by CEMEA. I accompanied the group in Paris and Allonnes for translation and be with my friends at the same time.
The team was welcomed by AKA (Allonnes keffiyeh Association), CEMEA and municipality of Allonnes.
So, the first two days in Paris was visiting and rehearsal for the dance performances, we took the bus together to Allonnes to rest there for 5 days there. It is a wonderful welcome.
The first two days AKA was in charge of the group, we went to the lake together, we exchange with the kids ... etc.
On the third day by Cemea, we organized as Cemea an evening with the group, exchange time, games, and meeting to prepare and discuses the project in the future. We ate together after.
The last 2 Days the Municipality was in charge, mostly rehearsal for the Dance shows, meetings, match foot, barbecue evening ..etc.
Show day, everybody was so stressed and tired a little bit but excited and motivated as well. Full day of training and lectures for the evening show, the group finished the day with Dabka ( Palestinian traditional Dance ) show of 45 mins it was blessed and everybody enjoyed it and dance a little in the End.
And right now the group still in Europe for the rest of Dance shows.
The objective is to Deliver the message of the Refugees and everyone lives in Palestine by Dance, we resist by Dance.
