Move for Palestine: Dabke, Volleyball, Yoga & more

πŸ“£ Calling all Boston Movers! Join us, Sunday, September 28th at noon (Olive Grove Park), as we celebrate movement and urban parks in our communities by coming together for an afternoon of dancing, music-making, yoga, volleyball, and more! πŸŒ³πŸ«’πŸ‰πŸ“ΏπŸ§Ώ

Open spaces play a crucial role to the health and vitality of communities. Through this event, we are supporting our brothers and sisters in Aida Refugee Camp by raising funds to renew the Olive Grove Park and playground. At less than one acre in size, the Olive Grove is the only open space available to the residents of the refugee camp.

This effort is Palestinian-led in partnership with Design Palestine and 1for3. The park design supports 1for3’s mission by integrating with the health, educational, and food + water sovereignty programs at the Lajee Center. There will new green spaces, walking paths, and swing set. The playground and football pitch will be refurbished. There will be a new community garden for residents to plant their own food. Elements of the park, including a shade structure and the community garden enclosure, will be designed through a design competition between students in Palestine and international students in teams.

We invite all of greater Boston to come share movement with us! Please join us in community and support the Olive Grove Park through movement and joy!
