We aim to:
1. To use art as a tool to build bridges in the community and to break Jenin’s cultural isolation from the rest of Palestine.
2. To use art to elevate and contribute to Palestinian society.
3. To foster collaboration between actors, artists, technicians, and the local community.
4. To develop a group of diverse Palestinian artists, highlighting the community’s talents and to engage high-risk and marginalized community members.
5. To collaborate with local and international artists.
6. To develop skills and capacity building in the areas of theatre, cinema, and circus arts.
7. To present theatre, circus arts, and cinema to under-exposed community groups, including to children, youth, and women.
