The main aim of the Festival is to celebrate the vibrant culture of the Palestinian people, which we feel will be of interest to the broad range of communities within Halifax, Calderdale and beyond.
It is our aim to involve as many of these communities as we can, drawing people together around a shared cultural interest, advancing an understanding of that culture while at the same time promoting greater unity between the diverse groups who participate in the Festival and the activities which will lead up to it.
There is an explicit desire to contribute to the council’s stated priority of improving social cohesion through the vehicle of Palestinian cultural celebration.
