I'm a Palestinian refugee who lived outside the refugee camp in a nicer part of Bethlehem town. Bethlehem was under siege and my eyes opened were opened widely and I have acknowledged that this world have  good people in this world, the same as there are a lot of evils who fight against peace. My house was shelled by an Israeli Tank. I Have  grown up in this situation and the Intifada started to collapse. I always thank my school and my family who encouraged me to join non academic activities. In 2004, I participated as an actor in the first musical play “Fawanees” in Ramallah. This was my first appearance on stage at the age of 11. In fact, it was the first step in building my character and my self-confidence. In 2007, I travelled to Germany with the school choir, and in 2008 I represented Palestine in UNESCO meeting titled “Taking Responsibility for the Future”. I started to find himself in a leadership position where I can represent my culture and my country well abroad. I represented Palestine in the Greek Parliament in 2009 and after one month he attended a leadership exchange program in USA. Here, my dream became closer, I graduated from high school in 2011 and got accepted in Al-Quds Bard College to do my B.A degree. During this period at college he continued my social and art activities to get more experience in the fields of leadership and technology. I travelled again in 2016 to participate in Kazan youth forum and now I work at Shoruq Media Center. I believe in teamwork and interaction. On one hand, Social media plays here a big role. Using Facebook, twitter, Instagram, Google, Youtube and Linkedin in creating and sharing content will allow participants to learn and get feedback from each other by exchanging data and knowledge. My specialization in social media and graphics will make it easier for me to gather participants online and help them get in touch and do the networking over the sees and during the conference. On the other hand, data online and offline is unorganized in many fields of media, technology, medicine..etc in the Arabic and English languages which is the language of 161 countries. I want to partcipate and represent Palestine and Palestinian refugees in the World Festival for Youth and Students in Russia. Because this will help me connect with more people and tell them about our stories as young Palestinian refugees and young artists using art and culture as a tool advocate for the Palestinian cause for a better future for humans in Palestine and world wide.
