Palestine, Creating picture books of the preservation of historical remains　(Jan. 2013)

Palestine
Director, Jericho Office, Tourism and Antiquities Division, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities 
Mr.Iyad A. A. HAMDAN

During the seminar in Japan, I set up an action plan that expanded public-awareness activities for children for the problem that awareness about the importance of historical remains and their preservation had not filtered through to the people, children in particular. After I returned home, based on that idea, I created picture books that conveyed to children the importance of preserving the remains, and I distributed the books to various libraries with the cooperation of JICA’s office in Palestine. Furthermore, I have been going to summer camps exclusively for children where I have been actively expanding public awareness while using the picture books.
