The Event.
Friends of Al-Aqsa's inaugural Palestine Convention will take place on Saturday 24 August 2024 in Shoreditch, London.
The Palestine Convention will bring together leading voices from a range of professions and disciplines to educate and empower the public on key topics related to current events on Palestine and how to strengthen the Palestine movement in the UK.
The children's storytelling event and the conference are two seperate events, so they are ticketed seperately. Exhibition is included in both.
