“We built these universities from tents. And from tents, with the support of our friends, we will rebuild them once again.”Unified Call from Palestinian academics and administrators of Gaza Universities, 29 April 2024
Join us to hear first-hand from Palestinian academics and campaigners about how Palestinian Higher Education institutions are resisting erasure through the collective work of the Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza and their respective efforts to continue teaching and learning, despite the physical destruction of university campuses by relentless Israeli attacks.
We will discuss how transnational solidarity can promote the resilience and rehabilitation of Gaza’s education sector in partnership with UK universities and discuss the role of boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns in confronting UK Higher Education complicity in scholasticide.
This event is organized by BDS at UCL, and is part of a national speaking tour organised by University and College Workers for Palestine and BRICUP with support from UCU.
*HYBRID - Zoom link will be shared on the day of the event.
The Right to Education campaign is a grassroots Palestinian movement which began in 1988 in order to document, research and raise consciousness about the oppression of Palestinian students, teachers and academic institutions under Israeli military occupation. They work to empower students to claim their human right to education, to overcome the isolation of Palestinian educational institutions and to demand an end to the illegal Israeli occupation.
The Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza established by Al Aqsa University, Al Azhar University and the Islamic University of Gaza, the three largest not-for-profit public Gaza universities, which between them represent the majority of students and academics in Gaza. The work of the Emergency Committee is facilitated by international colleagues. The Emergency Committee will be dedicated to serving the collective needs of Gaza universities during this emergency period by mobilising international support for their rebuilding and working to ensure that assistance is provided in partnership with Gaza universities so that teaching and study resumes at higher education institutions in Gaza at the earliest opportunity.
