List of the cross-cutting activities proposed during the launching event

The cross-cutting activities or transversal lines are a way for all the associations/NGOs to have common objectives for specific activities. These common lines of the Inter-Associative Program will be discussed, debated, planned and organized between the involved associations.

The cross-cutting activities will then develop an active partnership between the organizations, Palestinian/Palestinian and French/Palestinian, on new fields of activities. The idea is that the different organization will then profit from the experience of the others by doing together, by sharing the skills and practices. These activities can work on the following:

Develop the capacity building of some organizations
Organize specific events/seminars on wide questions related to childhood
Organize/develop trainings to develop the skills of the educational staff
Create a network/make it know

These cross-cutting activities, whatever they are, will reinforce our cooperation in order to write a further proposal (3-year-program) and to raw our priorities for the following years…
