Young Palestinian Israeli students rarely have the chance to share their daily realities, hopes and experiences with the world. Young Voices Rising by Pilgrims of Ibillin changes that. With your support, Mar Elias Educational Institution will create a safe, student‑run media studio where youth in grades 6–12 can write, host, film, record, and edit their own podcasts and videos in Arabic, Hebrew, and English.

The studio welcomes Christian, Muslim, and Druze students of all abilities and learning styles, ensuring every young person finds a meaningful role—whether speaking on camera, writing scripts, conducting interviews, managing sound, or editing. Through hands‑on collaboration, students build confidence, strengthen digital literacy, and deepen mutual understanding. Their stories will offer global audiences a rare, personal window into life in the Galilee—highlighting creativity, resilience, relationships, and shared aspirations that are too often overlooked.
