Panorama- the
Palestinian Center for the Dissemination of Democracy &
Community Development was established in 1991 in Jerusalem. The
center works to contribute to community development, and to
promote issues that are related to the relationship between the
citizen and the society, as a means to build a pluralistic
Palestinian civil society.
Panorama is a
non- governmental, non- profit organization that runs its
programs through three offices in Ramallah,
Jerusalem, and
Gaza.
Our programs and activities aim to raise the awareness of the
Palestinian people on democratic concepts, and notions of the
civil society.
Panorama is actively working to promote and disseminate issues related
to democracy, human rights,
participation in public life and the different decision-
making processes that are based on the concept of freedom of
expression. |
