Publications

Visibility for Awareness Raising

In the line of its tradition and spirit of vividness and colourfulness, Sharek's brochures, booklets and other publications were made attractive for youth in terms of content and design. Many colourful designs were produced, with vibrant pictures of project activities. Most of Sharek's publications in 2006 have been realized through one of the core programs Partners, Bridges and A Step Forward. Sharek has produced 18 booklets on topics related to employment and the labour market under the title “Series of Distinction and Success”. It has published two researches; “Matching Higher Education Graduates with Market Needs in the West Bank and Gaza Strip” in cooperation with the Palestinian Economic Policy Research Institute (MAS) and “Youth and Youth Institutions, Structures, Projects and Clubs”. Sharek produced four training manuals; one for awareness raising workshops of the elections campaign and three for the Partners trainings on capacity building of youth organizations. Sharek also published a total of 6 newsletters; five on the different components of the youth enrichment incubators program Bridges and one on the A Step Forward program. Most of the publications are available online (www.sharek.ps and www.pycc.ps) and brochures, booklets and newsletters can be obtained in many of Sharek’s centres.
