Through the Summer Celebration, visiting students have the option of overnight stays offered by host Palestinian families, allowing them to get to know more about everyday life in Palestine, the challenges faced due to the occupation, and about family traditions, perspectives and authentic hospitality or the second option is staying in a private apartment.

 Arabic language lessons are offered by qualified instructors at the Bethlehem University as part of the summer program.  Throughout the entire stay, students have the chance to practice Arabic on a daily basis with the local people.

Taking part in the Summer Celebration gives students many opportunities to travel throughout the West Bank, visiting remote villages, Bedouin dwellings and to urban centers, exploring, discovering Palestine, and having fun and meaningful experiences, sharing meals, stories and creating deeper relations with the people of Palestine.
