The Birziet Crew is making an urgent call to the international student community to make a stand in solidarity with Palestinian students to support during the global Right2Education Week, 15th-22nd November 2011. In particular, Tuesday 22nd November 2011, will be a unified day of action across the globe where students from all countries will stand united.
A primary goal of the Week of Action is to allow Palestinian students and academics a platform to share knowledge and experience of the Palestinian struggle for education and to call for an end to the denial of Palestinian educational rights as an objective of Israel’s occupation of Palestine. These events may include a speaking tour by Palestinian students, documentary screenings, stunts and visuals, demonstrations, lectures and discussions and video conferences with students in Palestine.
Called for by the students at Birzeit University, The Birzeit Crew is pushing for a coordinated day of action in the form of a Check-Point FlashMob. They are asking students to set up a roaming check-point simulation, which would involve a re-enactment of the daily challenges faced by Palestinian students when trying to access their education.
Following the effective action demonstrated by Columbia University, New York, and Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, it is hoped that similar simulation can be achieved at your university. it is hoped that the simulation can target the areas on campus with the highest student presence throughout the whole day.
The BC (Birzeit Crew) would like all actions to be filmed, photographed or documented in order to make one short feature film to be published on the Right2Education campaign website. This would strengthen the feeling of international solidarity across the globe.
BC is also coordinating a video conference between Birzeit university students and the international community to share ideas and experiences regarding access to education. If you are interested in participating, please inform them via email: right2edu@birzeit.edu
From the Birzeit Crew:
"We hope to gain your support and are also open to any other ideas your groups may think of for the unified day of action.
Love from the Birzeit Crew"
