Sunday evening: Documentary The Game

A few more days to go before the 4th edition of Music for Gaza will welcome you with open arms! We're still busy arranging all kinds of "things" so we can offer our audience a day with various interesting options. So far we have the CD-exchange, a dance workshop, music, a panel discussion and more music.

For those who'd like to stay in the cafe and enjoy some quiet time, we can now offer you something very special. It's the documentary of Tinus Kramer about a theatre group from Gaza, Theatre Day Productions.

Highly recommended!

Peace Museum: travelling exhibition Forgiveness Project


The Netherlands has a Peace Museum (Vredesmuseum). It's a collection of travelling exhibitions about violence, grief, peace and forgiveness. An exhibition of the Forgiveness Project, in a Dutch translation, is planned during the month of May in Geleen, a southern town in the Netherlands, not far from where we organize our Music for Gaza event in Heerlen. Especially the stories of Ghazi Briegeith and Rami Elhanan, a Palestinian and Israeli, is of interest in the light of our project. As well is the story of Robi Damelin, an Israeli mother who lost her son.

This exhibition is initiated by the Dekenaat Schinnen-Geleen.
