The outline plan for the work brigade in Ein el-Hilweh on the second half of august 2009 is the following (in next weeks it will be defined in more details):

• Participants' arrival.
• General assembly (in the evening, tu ensure the maximum presence) to make clear political, social and cultural aims of the project.
• Press conference to explain the project and its purpose to the local media.
• Visit to martyrs' tombs.
• Work in the building.
• Visit to Ein el-Hilweh nursery and debate about educational system.
• Visit Ein el-Hilweh camp, showing the life conditions of the refugees; meetings with popuation will be organized, to allow direct contact.
• Workshop about juvenile activities, to which both Sumud's members and young citizens of Ein el-Hilweh will take part (the topics will be decided together).
• Meeting with Ein el-Hilweh women.
• Symposia on Palestinian issue, refugee problem, right of return, Palestinian in Lebanon situation, Europe's role in the conflict (both Palestinian and European points of view).

• Visit to Palestine/Lebanon borders.

One of the main purposes of the work brigade is very pragmatic: use shovels, hacs and concrete, work hard to restore an old building formerly used as an office by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), half-destroyed by Israeli rockets, and turn it into a place for cultural and political activities for the youth of the whole refugee camp.
