The 3-sentence summary is: The program aims to create opportunities for Palestinian youth in high-growth internet technology sectors by identifying 25 specialized fellows to receive training, mentoring, and exposure in fields like data visualization, content marketing, and web journalism. Partners would provide training, employment opportunities, and program support, with the goals of nurturing talent, connecting refugees to the digital world, and raising traffic and stories for other organizations.
