Science Days Palestine SDP 2014 launched in Ramallah yesterday.

"In attempting to develop links across Palestine's fragmented geography, the second edition of "Qalandia International" - Palestine's contemporary arts biennial - undoubtedly faced challenges. Whether the festival should even take place, given the recent bombardment of Gaza, was brought into question before this year's launch in Ramallah.

The Qattan Centre for the Child launched the Science Days Palestine SDP 2014 in its premises in Gaza. The Festival, which focuses on “Future Technologies”, was organised and funded in partnership with Al-Nayzak Foundation, Birzeit University, The Palestinian Museum/ Welfare Association, Institute Français, Goethe Institute, Mercedes Benz and the European Union, and in cooperation with local and international organisations.
