Young Engineer

CCHP makes use of up-to-date tools to reach its goals and raise awareness among the various target groups of the community. One of these tools is the Young Engineer Project which aims to create awareness among the students about Palestinian heritage in general and Bethlehem's heritage in particular.

The project consists of 5 sessions with 5 different topics explaining about the development of the Palestinian architecture, traditional construction patterns, components and elements of the traditional buildings, and rehabilitation and maintenance of the traditional buildings, in addition to site visits and class works.

One of the outcomes of this project is to publish a simple book containing the 5 topics that were discussed during the sessions, and which shall benefit targeted groups and increase their awareness about the value of our cultural heritage, conservation techniques and traditional construction methods used.

"THE TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE HERITAGE THAT EXISTS FROM PREVIOUS GENERATIONS PROVIDES A LINK BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THEIR PAST"
