The festival was the culmination of a nine-month project, funded by the European Union, which aims to highlight the richness of the Palestinian oral traditions, and to help foster a greater awareness among Palestinians of this cultural heritage through strengthening the role of local libraries. The project was implemented by COBIAC, a French cultural association, in partnership with Alrowwad Cultural & Training Theatre Centre. |
