BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights started implementing the training courses as part of the Visualizing Jerusalem Project. This project’s aim is to raise awareness of its 30 participants from Jerusalem on the violation of human rights of Palestinians due to policies of forcible transfer that Israel carries out on both sides of the green line in general, and in Jerusalem specifically. This project will do so by introducing participants to the relevant articles of International Law and International Human Rights Law about transfer and refuge, host field tours to areas affected by forcible transfer policies, provide training on data collecting and documentation, and enhance their writing and communication skills.

The first training course was held on Friday 2 September 2016. It included a lecture on the Israeli policies of forcible transfer in Jerusalem.

Visualizing Jerusalem is a project carried out by BADIL in collaboration with three community-based organizations in Jerusalem: al-Bustan-Silwan Association, Burj Al-Luqluq Community Center Association, and Youth Development Department.
