Through facilitating a safe discussion space, participants will be given the chance to expand their skills when talking about Palestine by going through talking points heard in the wider public conversation, and we will collectively analyse these arguments and how to respond to them.

Makan x Amnesty: Nakba Day Webinar
2025-05-08 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/London)
Nakba, meaning “catastrophe” in Arabic, marks the mass displacement of Palestinians in 1948 during the creation of the state of Israel. But Nakba Day – which is commemorated on May 15th – is not just a historical event. It’s about an ongoing experience of loss, dispossession and resistance that continues to shape the lives of Palestinians today. This workshop, created specifically for Youth and Students will:
– Explain what Nakba Day is and why it matters for human rights
– Provide historical context around 1948 and the forced displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians
– Connect that history to the ongoing realities of occupation, settler colonialism, and resistance in Palestine
– Offer space for young people to reflect, ask questions, and better understand the current conflict and activism for Palestinian rights
Whether you’re new to this topic or already engaged, this webinar is a space to learn, connect and deepen your understanding of human rights and how the Nakba is a continuing struggle for dignity, rights and freedom. This is open to students and youth.
This online workshop will be delivered by Amnesty UK in collaboration with Makan.

In Conversation with Ahmed Alnaouq and Malak Mattar at Southbank Centre for book launch of We Are Not Numbers
2025-05-06 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Purcell Room, Purcell Room, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London, SE1 8XX, United Kingdom
For this event, editor Ahmed Alnaouq and contributor Malak Mattar discuss the book in conversation with Makan Director, Aimee Shalan.
Following the 2014 Gaza War and decades of oppression and resistance, storytelling platform We Are Not Numbers (WANN) was founded to give a voice to the youth of Gaza.
In an epilogue covering the most recent war in Gaza, the collection’s editors Ahmed Alnaouq and Pam Bailey reflect on the personal tragedies they have faced, including the deaths of 21 of Alnaouq’s family members in a single bomb blast, as well as those writers able to take WANN’s work forward and those no longer alive to do so.
In a rallying cry to onlookers around the world, We Are Not Numbers offers unparalleled insight into the real lives of the people of Gaza and imagines where we might go from here.
Presented in association with PalFest.

Session 1: ‘Settler Colonialism & Ecological Violence in Palestine’

The first workshop of our Climate Justice online Mini-Series aims to deepen understanding of settler colonialism as the driver of land and natural resource destruction in Palestine.

'The imprisonment of our people and our archives': A conversation with Makan, Alia Al Sabi and Zena Agha (In-person event)
2025-02-28 19:00 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | Reference Point, 2 Arundel St, Temple, London, WC2R 3DA
Book your place here
The genocide in the Gaza Strip represents an intensification and acceleration of Israel’s colonial practices against Palestinians living on the ground and in exile. At the same time, education, research, the university, and archives are sites where these colonial practices coalesce.
For decades, Israel has targeted Palestinian educational institutions through raids, closures, and bombardments, routinely stealing and destroying archives and records, while educators and students have been subjected to scholasticide, kidnappings, torture, and imprisonment, with at least 10,000 Palestinians currently being held captive inside of Israeli prisons.
And today, following the physical destruction of every university building in Gaza, an urgent question Palestinian scholars have been contending with since the Nakba is how do we do the work of producing knowledge, archiving our histories, and mapping out our futures under a settler colonial and apartheid regime that seeks to erase our existence?
Makan’s upcoming conversation with scholars Alia Al-Sabi and Zena Agha will explore the nature of archiving in this context and how conditions of oppression manifest for Palestinian researchers and archivists working in different locations.

Where: Reference Point, 2 Arundel St, Temple, London WC2R 3DA
When: 28th of February
Time: Doors open at 7pm. Conversation begins at 7.30 and will last until 9.00pm.
Please note this is an in-person event and registration is needed in order to attend.
The Syrian Sunflower will be providing snacks at the event

About Makan:
Makan is an independent, non-partisan organisation dedicated to intersectional learning. Our approach is grounded in a belief that education is a liberatory act that can lay the ground for structural change. Situating Palestine within the context of other human rights, social justice and global liberation movements, we work towards transformation by adopting educational approaches that capture the history of the Palestinian struggle and the realities on the ground. We aim to support advocates as part of a community that is not only well-informed, interconnected, and empowered, but passionately committed to cultivating a future for Palestinians built on freedom, justice, and dignity.
