On Monday morning, November 25, 2019, the Child Centre-Gaza / A.M. Qattan Foundation inaugurated the Science Days Palestine and Science Film Festival 2019.

In its 11th edition, the program of the festival focused on “The Relation of Nature and the Network of Life - inspired by the works of the scientist Alexander von Humboldt”, the human relationship with the planet, the world of plant and geology, and other concepts were explored by festival visitors and school students through the angles that varied between alternative energy solutions and geology, as well as the identification of biodiversity, bio-architecture and geographic information systems (GIS).

Scientific angles reflected the themes of environmental and urban solutions, scientific films, and virtual reality (VR, and the integration of STEM methodology) into environmental interaction.

Science Days Palestine Festival is organised by the A.M. Qattan Foundation, the Goethe Institute, the French Cultural Institute, the Ramallah Municipality and the Al-Nayzak Organisation.
