Establishment Statement...

The circle of violence and destruction in Palestine is still going on and seems to be spreading wider day by day. Israeli occupation measures against the Land and the people are harming most aspects of the lives of the Palestinians; children were not spared in this battle.
Watching children being deprived from the basic humanitarian aspects of lives encouraged us to establish the Young Artists’ Forum hoping that through this NGO, we might be able to help our children and give them a supportive hand by teaching them the language of arts.
Colors, pictures, Images, and designs are the elements of the well spoken language by the founders of the Forum. We believe that such language is capable of raising our children’s awareness of the principles of a just and humanitarian civil society.
As trainers and educators, we like to think of ourselves as a democratic and intellectual group seeking to gather all the efforts to liberate our children from the nightmares of the war, which have been haunting them for many years.
The absence of specialized children institutions in the field of art has motivated us to go ahead and make our dream come become true, and to work together as a team to contribute in developing the society especially for children in the fields of culture.
As artists and intellectuals, we strongly believe that by adopting a positive educational attitude, we at the Young Artists Forum would like to substantially contribute to the construction of a democratic and humanitarian Palestinian civil society.
