Cycle of conferences # 2

"1919-2019, a century of relations between peoples"

Conference in Arabic and French with simultaneous translation.

The entrance is free.

The French Institute of Jerusalem (IFJ) and the French Institute of the Near East (IFPO) are co-organizing this year a series of conferences supported by the French Institute of Paris (Fonds d'Alembert). This year, the IFJ and the IFPO propose a series of conferences on the theme of relations between Europe and the Middle East for a century, under the following title: "1919/1989/2019 / Regards croisés Europe - Middle East".

This second conference-debate will be held at Birzeit University and will focus on the different solidarity networks in Europe for the Palestinians and on the "Palestine" issue. It will be a question of how solidarity is established between populations and what can be achieved (or not) from this type of link. The emergence of European popular solidarity movements vis-à-vis Palestine and their role in national debates will be discussed. Finally, the role of European development aid in the Palestinian economy will be discussed.
