Palestinian Children’s Art Centre PCAC
Towards A Creative Palestinian Child
The P.C.A.C is a non-profit non-governmental institution that was established in 1994. It directs its activities and programs towards the development of the Palestinian child’s intellectuality. In addition, it reinforces the positive role of the Palestinian child in the process of building and progressing the Palestinian society.
History
The bloody and violent actions over the past decades in Palestine have affected the Palestinian children; their behaviour, and their natural life. After the February 1994 massacre at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron -- which was committed by a Jewish settler and led to the killing of 36 Palestinians -- the children of Hebron were shocked and their behaviour has been dramatically changed.
Objectives
Help children regain their natural life, psychological wellness, and explore the creative and talented children in all fields in order to achieve the P.C.A.C slogan “Towards A Creative Palestinian Child”.
Reinforce the Palestinian culture among children to assist in their progress on the psychological, social, and human aspects, in order to strengthen their role in building the future of the Palestinian society.
