PYALARA’s mission is to activate and empower young Palestinians between the ages of 13 and 25 and equip them with the necessary skills, information and techniques that would enable them to address their issues, needs and rights and thus contribute towards democratic nation building. Our main objectives include firstly; developing a new culture of independent and specialized media for young Palestinians and secondly, empowering young Palestinians and equipping them with basic life skills that lead to a healthy lifestyle and encourage them to play a constructive role in the society. Furthermore, PYALARA aims at building bridges of communication between Palestinian youth and their counterparts around the world.
PYALARA's main activities are grouped into three programs: the development and production of specialized youth media (youth newspaper and TV programs) on the one hand, and the projects which advance the well-being of Palestinian youth by focusing on the peer-to-peer approach, on the other. Both programs serve and support each other. In addition to that, PYALARA’s third program focuses on youth development of regional and international communication networks with their peers to activate intercultural dialogue and build interactive channels of communication.
