In the framework of the Good Water Neighbors project, FoEME gathered 30 young leaders this past weekend from three schools in the Jordan Valley region (Kings Academy, Madaba Jordan; Terra Sancta, Jericho Palestine; Geon Hayarden, Beit Shean Israel), to learn about the state of the Lower Jordan River and see its upstream origins. The unusually rainy weekend didn't stop the group from hiking in the mud, enjoying the river's natural beauty and visiting the ancient city of Biet Shean.
The tour was focused on empowering the youth for launching a campaign on the issue. A media workshop session followed the tour in which different tools for raising awareness were disscussed and the group created an action plan for filming a student film on the Lower Jordan River. This will be followed up by a second meeting, in Jordan, to film on the Jordanian side. We look forward to viewing their production!
