Participation

The exhibition consists of several sections, in which 17 Palestinian artists displayed their drawings, in addition to a number of international artists on the path of comic art, which is considered the first of its kind in Palestine. The comic art is telling stories that simulate the Nakba through drawings to convey a message to the world about what the Palestinians have been suffering for seventy-five years. This memory is still engraved in their hearts and minds, and passed on through generations.

The opening ceremony of the forum, which was held at the Faculty of Legal and Economic Sciences at Hassan II University, was attended by His Excellency the Secretary General of the Association of Arab Universities, Professor Dr. Amr Ezzat Salama, and the Director of the Arab Council, Professor Fawaz Al-Zghoul.

It is noteworthy to mention that the Arab American University obtained more than (35) training opportunities at Arab universities. AAUP, moreover, granted (35) training opportunities to Arab universities.
