Abdelfattah Abusrour is founder and director of Alrowwad Centre for Arts and Culture in Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem which he established in 1998. The centre works with children whose every-day reality is oppression and trauma, through performing and visual arts, culture and education.

Abdelfattah founded the ethos ‘Beautiful Resistance’, a form of creative and peaceful self-expression that aims to save lives, empower young people, inspire hope and build peace within individuals.

It pushes young Palestinians to be peace builders in their communities and beyond through creative and non-violent means.
