Courses & Education
Why we do education
Education is central to the Palestinian liberation struggle. In the face of displacement, occupation, and exile, education preserves and defends Palestinian knowledge, heritage, and identity across generations. Through resources, programming, and courses, we aim to build capacity and strengthen the Palestinian liberation struggle and solidarity movement in North America.
Our approach to education
Our educational methodology draws on a long tradition of preserving and producing Palestinian knowledge and culture. It is grounded in the belief that people learn through struggle, community, and collective experience. Our curriculum centers Palestinian heritage, geography, and struggle as the foundations that connect Palestinians across fragmentation. Through this approach, we aim to support the development of current and future generations of leaders in the Palestinian struggle in North America and strengthen collective capacity for liberation and solidarity.
ONGOING NAKBA: BUILDING A PEOPLE’S ARCHIVE OF DISPLACEMENT & RETURN
On May 14, we held a webinar with Palestinian writer, political analyst, and academic Abdaljawad Omar of Birzeit University to reflect on the scale of loss in 1948 and explore what it means to speak of an “ongoing Nakba, ongoing return” across generations – from the homeland to the diaspora.
As part of this work, we invite all participants (Palestinian and non-Palestinian) to contribute to a people’s archive of testimonies of the ongoing Nakba, as part of an effort to collect stories of displacement and its ongoing impact.

Palestine 36 in Context: The Origins of Palestinian Revolutionary struggle
This four-part course explores the significance of the 1936–39 Palestinian Revolution, a key moment in Palestinian resistance. The People’s Center for Palestine, in collaboration with Watermelon Pictures and the People’s Forum, offered this course during February-March 2026 in the lead-up to the release of the film, Palestine 36. Over four sessions, the course engaged with how this history has been remembered, retold, and reclaimed over generations—and what it demands of those of us committed to liberation today.
