The study visit to Israel and Palestine was undoubtedly one of the most transformative Erasmus+ activities for everyone involved on behalf of IBG. First and foremost, we are extremely grateful to our friends and colleagues in Haifa and Hebron, who went above and beyond to make it possible for us to meet with the different incredible organisations, volunteers, locals, activists, professionals, researchers and academics. Listening to them, their experience and experiencing ourselves the local realities in the different communities like Nazareth, Umm El-Fahem, Ber Sheva, Al-Khalil, Al Naqab, Bethlehem, Jerusalem and Ramallah was such an impactful experience. Meeting people who, like us, are committed to social and climate justice and learning about and witnessing the real obstacles they have to face, both through legal and extra-legal means, and in particular through physical infrastructure and barriers, was as enlightening as it was terrifying and painful. This trip will leave a lasting impact and enhance many of our activities, especially in this year which has a special focus on climate justice and sustainability in our networks.
