Duration: One day (15th May 2011)
Place: Occupied Palestinian Territory
The Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel are one of the areas of the world where Spanish state more invest in development cooperation, protection of human rights and peace building. Although many projects have contributed to a significant change, few people doubt that the results obtained are substantially lower than expected. During two decades of “investment for peace” (1991-2011) is particularly significant that the living conditions of the Palestinian population have worsened and the causes and underlying reasons that fuel conflict have been strengthened and intensified. With this short training course in the field, for cooperation actors from Spanish state present in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel, we aimed to create a space for modest reflection to allow us to learn about the causes of the present situation.
