Our "Palestinian Puppets" project has brought a fresh approach to preserving Palestinian heritage. Through handmade Palestinian-themed dolls, Ibtikar has aimed to preserve and convey Palestinian traditions to younger generations and international visitors. Simultaneously, we have empowered women in marginalized areas by providing training in embroidery and employment opportunities.
The project activities have included setting up a workspace, procuring raw materials, historical research, storytelling, production, marketing, and the creation of a project logo and website. Through this project, we have successfully merged traditional craftsmanship with contemporary storytelling and marketing to showcase and appreciate Palestinian culture and heritage.
