American teachers and educators from Maryland, West Virginia and other states visited the Palestine Center on Wednesday to learn about Palestinian culture. Robyn Davis, the Cultural Coordinator, organized lessons in Arabic music, and Palestinian embroidery, poetry, art and literature. She was helped by Fuad Foty, a DC-based musician, as well as two dancers from the Hurriyah Dabkeh troupe. They gave a short instructional dance lesson.
The group of more than 60 K-College educators also received a useful curriculum to help them teach Palestinian history.
Listen to Fuad Fouty's performance and lesson on the Oud and Arabic music.
