The Children of Tulkarem (West Bank): During the 3rd PsyHR Summer Camp the children was asked to produce a reportage using a photonarrative methodology. The program involved 80 children of Tulkarem city, Nurshams and Tulkarem refugee camps. The children made pictures of friends’ portraits, describing them, and attributing them emotion and personality traits through brief stories. Then the children have been made photos of their own city: what good and bad there is in Thulkarem, producing narratives that protect themselves from social and economic disruption, from the effects of the occupation and military violence
