The Ask
It began in July 2024, when we got introduced to Bring Gaza Home, an initiative advocating for the Right of Return for Palestinians. We met with the team and explore the question: “What can design do for the return of Palestinians?”
A few months later, we were a team of 10 volunteers co-creating a brand identity and social media content while learning about Palestine, its history, diversity, ongoing occupation, and resilient, hopeful culture.
In April one of the members ask: “Why don’t we bring a travel agency to Dutch Design Week?”
We were on board, though worried about the workload.
