STAND & BE COUNTED AND CADFA PRESENTSFrom Palestine to Bradford, with Love
A SPECIAL PLAY IN A DAY
On Saturday, 22 Nov, something special happened in Bradford. Young Palestinians from across the occupied West Bank came together with creatives and young participants from our Youth Theatre of Sanctuary for a day of fun, creativity and collective imagination.
The Palestinian group was hosted by the Camden Abu Dis Friendship Association (CADFA) through their Beyond the Checkpoints project, an initiative that seeks to create human connections between Palestine and the UK.

From Palestine to Bradford, with Love
In November 2025 we had the honour of working with CADFA to connect members of our Youth Theatre of Sanctuary with an incredible group of young Palestinians visiting the UK for the first time. We spent the day in Bradford exploring what creativity means to us and why we love to share ours with the world! This film celebrates our new friendships and that very special day.
Free Palestine.
