Summary
University in Gaza whose students, in collaboration with Indiana University in Indianapolis in the 2014-2015 academic year, charted a vision for Gaza in 2050 and built a Virtual Museum of Gaza (Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine, PDF p.222-225).
Details
- The students identified tourism as the “key to a renewed and thriving economy”, 252 sites of touristic potential, and an imagined overland pilgrimage route connecting Gaza City and Jerusalem (PDF p.222).
- Operation Protective Edge halted the work: students saw twenty-two of their schools destroyed and six of their teachers killed (PDF p.223).
