Holy Land Trust, in Bethlehem, enables creative programmes and projects – both locally and globally – that foster understanding, healing and empowerment of individuals and communities affected by the Israeli occupation.
Their community outreach team works tirelessly to strengthen communities and to unite local people in acts of non-violent resistance against the occupation.
Training programmes are run for all ages in non-violence and leadership – with unique workshops for women and children to enable them to rebuild self-esteem, and equip them with practical and creative strategies to deal with, and challenge, the oppression they experience daily.
The Trust’s 'Peace Research and Learning Centre' is a vital hub, from which they host conferences, run courses, offer outreach seminars and provide a comprehensive library. It also attracts scholars, experts and students from different fields from around the world – inspiring pioneering teaching and research on issues such as non-violence, peace, conflict resolution, non-linear thinking and healing traumas.

When words fail, art speaks. Amos Trust presented the ‘On Location’ exhibition at Greenbelt Festival in the UK and a sister exhibition, ‘Colours Of Gaza’, at The Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem in August/September 2022. This short film tells the story.
Tent of Nations is a farm run by Daoud Nasser and the Nasser family south of Bethlehem. The family are due to hear the outcome of a long-running court case to ratify the ownership of their land. Amos has taken many people to visit the farm — to hear about their inspirational approach, the huge challenges they face, and their ‘refusal to be enemies’.
Following two previous virtual tours of Gaza, we were delighted that Enas Ghannam (pictured) and the We Are Not Numbers team were able to join us once more to give us a unique snapshot into life in Gaza. This time, they filmed the preparations of a Gazan wedding and we found out how ‘Summaqya’, the essential food found at all Gazan pre-wedding celebrations, is made.
The 2024 Palestine Marathon will take place in March, and we are looking for full and half marathon runners to join Team Amos to run in the shadow of the Wall in Bethlehem. We welcome runners of all ages, men and women, with a range of experience. If it’s your first time, why not run the half marathon? Join 10,000 other runners to celebrate the right to movement in a city hemmed in by the Separation Wall and Israel’s illegal settlement-building programme.
Amos Trust has been developing links and building relationships with the visual arts community in Gaza since 2015. On Location is our project which will promote, support and celebrate the power, resilience, professionalism and vibrancy of the artistic community living and working under siege in Gaza today. Watch our short film featuring Gazan artist and On Location participant, Maha Daya, which was filmed and edited by We Are Not Numbers in Gaza City.
