Study Tour 2010 - Middle East

In its first study tour to the Middle East since 2002, Union Aid Abroad–APHEDA led a delegation of trade union officials and members to the region between 1-15 March 2010.

Our purpose with the visit to the Middle East was that through the study tour and reporting back, the Australian trade unions better understand the situation of Palestinian and Israeli workers, and Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA's aid program in the Middle East, and contribute to justice, peace, human rights and development in the region.

The Study Tour had two objectives:

• To learn about the situation for Palestinian and Israeli workers and trade unions;
• To visit Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA's aid program with Palestinian refugees and communities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Lebanon.

The delegation consisted of 13 participants, and visited Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip).
