From community centers to circus tents — Palestinian civil society powers every step of our work.
Meet our partners
At DHIP, we believe that meaningful change happens through local leadership. That’s why every one of our projects is developed and implemented in close collaboration with Palestinian organizations – rooted in their communities, led by local experts, and responsive to local needs.
Our partnerships are not just strategic. They are built on trust, solidarity, and shared long-term commitment to empowering Palestinian children and youth through art, culture, education, and storytelling. Together, we create vital spaces for expression, resilience, and hope.
Al-Harah Theater
Based in Beit Jala, Al-Harah Theater brings powerful theatrical experiences to marginalized communities in Palestine. They create safe spaces for children to play, learn, and express themselves through the performing arts, and opportunities for emerging talent from marginalized groups.
Tamer Institute for Community Education
With over 35 years of experience, Tamer Institute is a cornerstone of Palestinian educational and creative programming. From psychosocial support to library empowerment programs, Tamer Institute helps children heal and grow through writing, reading, and creative workshops.
The Palestinian Circus School
Under the dogma “Circus for all”, The Palestinian Circus School is teaching, creating, performing and programming circus arts. Through circus arts they are empowering and engaging Palestinians to raise international awareness about the positive Palestinian potential and the challenges they experience.
Filmlab Palestine
Filmlab Palestine nurtures a new generation of Palestinian storytellers by providing youth with the tools and platforms to explore filmmaking. Participants learn to craft their own narratives, expressing identity, preserving memory, and challenging stereotypes. With a strong focus on cultural ownership, Filmlab ensures that Palestinian stories are told by those who live them.
Khazaaen Social Archive
Khazaaen is a community‑driven Palestinian archival initiative founded in Jerusalem in 2016, dedicated to documenting everyday Palestinian lives through ephemeral materials – posters, bills, receipts, wedding invites, business cards and more – making them accessible to the public and academic research.
Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center
As a leading art and culture organisation in Ramallah, Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center serves as a vibrant space for research, dialogue and creativity – hosting exhibitions, readings, film screenings and cultural activities that explore identity, heritage and critical thinking.
