Photography Exhibition Preview event
'Recognizing our common humanity' @ Tollcross Community Centre, Edinburgh: Open to the public

Through an exciting, new photography exhibit, you can travel through Gaza with young people on a unique journey of discovery – finding those moments of common experience that bind us all together in one human family. Follow them from the streets where they walk every day, to the houses or refugee camps where they live; from the market where they shop, to the sea where they send off their dreams; from the destruction of war to sights of extraordinary natural beauty; from raw human suffering to indisputable, unbeatable hope and love for life.

This preview event includes refreshments and the opportunity to tour the exhibition accompanied by young people attending the Middle East Youth Festival. The delegates from Jordon, Lebanon, the USA and Scotland will share their thoughts on peace and their views on communication through the arts.

If you have any questions or are interested in attending any of the events please contact the Global Citizen Corps or call 0131 662 5188.
