Our speaking tours are a crucial part of this mission, offering unique insights into the realities of life in Palestine and the transformative work being done to promote peace, justice, and nonviolence.

Bridging Divides, Building Understanding

Our speaking tours aim to bridge cultural and political divides by fostering understanding and empathy. We bring Palestinian voices directly to international audiences, providing firsthand accounts of the challenges faced by communities under occupation. These tours offer a rare opportunity to hear personal stories of resilience, hope, and the relentless pursuit of justice.

Featuring Diverse Voices

Each tour features a diverse lineup of speakers, including community leaders, activists, and experts in nonviolent resistance and conflict transformation. They share their experiences and insights, offering a comprehensive view of the social, economic, and political landscape in Palestine. Our speakers discuss the impact of the occupation on daily life, the role of nonviolent activism, and the importance of global solidarity.

Educational and Inspirational

HLT speaking tours are both educational and inspirational. Audiences gain a deeper understanding of the Palestinian struggle for justice and the innovative ways communities are working towards peace. Our speakers highlight successful nonviolent initiatives, the power of grassroots movements, and the critical need for international support and advocacy.

Engaging with Communities

During our tours, we engage with a wide range of communities, including schools, universities, religious groups, and civic organizations. Through lectures, workshops, and panel discussions, we encourage dialogue and critical thinking. We aim to inspire action and foster a global network of individuals committed to supporting Palestinian rights and peacebuilding efforts.

Promoting Advocacy and Action

Beyond raising awareness, our speaking tours promote advocacy and action. We provide audiences with practical ways to support Palestinian communities and contribute to the movement for justice. Whether through raising awareness, advocating for policy changes, or supporting HLT’s initiatives, every action counts in the pursuit of a just and peaceful future.

Recent Highlights

In December 2023, our UK Speaking Tour, supported by our strategic partner Amos Trust, successfully highlighted HLT’s vision and raised funds for critical projects in Gaza and the West Bank. The tour featured compelling facts and figures, personal testimonies, and powerful calls to action, leaving a lasting impact on all who attended.
