Tawasul (linkage in Arabic) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that was founded in 2002 by a group of Palestinian civil society activists committed to peace, democracy and the two-state solution.
The aim of Tawasul is to promote a culture of peace, enhance democratic values and act as a catalyst for non-violent communication between all levels of the Palestinian society. Tawasul also aims to strengthen Palestinian grassroots movements and help them fulfill their social and political aspirations.
Tawasul especially encourages women and youth to participate in decision-making processes in society and works to inspire and bring hope to civil society activists in general so that they can contribute to the promotion and advancement of democratic and secular movements in Palestine.
Tawasul is the Head of the Palestinian National Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation and a co-founder and a steering committee member of two civil society networks: the Palestinian Youth Network and the Palestinian/Israeli Forum for Peace.
