The visit was organized in cooperation with the public relations department of Bethlehem University. Students were received at the New Campus of An Najah University and were introduced to the University, its faculties, facilities, academic programs and the Right to Education campaign that is being run there.
Then the guests were joined by other students from An Najah and Bethlehem universities who discussed the conditions that they experience in Palestine, their university life, ambitions and hopes. They also discussed the importance of cultural exchange between local and international students which reinforces international dialogue and supports mutual understanding of each one's culture. At the end of the visit, a tour to the old city of Nablus was organized where the delegation was introduced to the city's historical and architectural landmarks.
