00:00Welcome back, followers of the talk, to a free space this morning to talk again about different youth initiatives.
00:15Today's initiative is very special; it's an initiative that has likely gained a lot of popularity: "Let's Go Together to Palestine."
00:25It is a Palestinian online channel that focuses on documenting the history of Palestinian cities and has gained popularity among users.
00:36We will learn about this initiative through our brother Naaman Salhab, founder and partner of the channel's initiative, photographer and video director.
00:47Professor Numan, welcome and good morning
00:49Welcome, good morning to you and all our listeners.
00:53Welcome! So, let's talk about Palestine. Videos that have become popular among users.
00:58Both in Palestine and abroad, through their documentation of the history of some cities, illustrated with photographs.
01:07Some might say that there is written documentation, but visual and oral documentation is less common and easier for the audience to understand.
01:16Where did the idea originate and how did the work begin?
01:21I would like to begin by thanking you for your interest in this initiative and for highlighting this video channel on YouTube and Facebook.
01:30The idea began in the late stages of last year's coronavirus lockdown.
01:38When everyone felt the pressure resulting from this period and from the quarantine
01:45As you know, we are leaders in the scouting movement and we were used to scouting trails, expeditions, and exploring many areas.
01:57But we wanted this to be our starting point, utilizing our available technical and professional capabilities, as well as our passion and love for this endeavor.
02:12So we set off immediately with our own phones and very simple tools to film and cover the first area, which was in the Wadi al-Qaf area and Ain Wadi al-Qaf.
02:24So that we can convey these areas to the viewer through our lens, a view that might not be possible for someone who is unable to leave their home at that time.
02:34Those who are in Palestine and outside of Palestine, we started from Hebron and the area surrounding the city of Hebron, then we set off to the far north of Palestine.
02:43Very beautiful
02:44And to many areas
02:45Well, the idea was done with simple tools and photography using special mobile phones, and today we talk about the global reach of the photos and captured moments.
02:57Yes, that's right. We started with a single phone, then developed it further by adding another phone. Now we mostly take photos with our phones, but they're very advanced.
03:07Using image stabilizers, we added aerial and drone photos to cover locations from multiple angles.
03:19The viewer's angle, the explorer's and adventurer's angle, and the elevated angle to encompass the image and the image's comprehensiveness from several areas.
03:32Sayed Noman speaks through videos about the history of some cities, and this history matches what you have gathered and the information from its source, almost as we tell
03:43Yes, of course, the videos have several features, whether they are related to adventure and exploration, which is something that Palestinian and non-Palestinian youth love.
03:56There is a great demand in Arab countries, in addition to the documentation and useful information that accompanies this enjoyable viewing experience.
04:06The scenes were related to the soundtrack, adventure, archaeological sites, and other areas. The sources we rely on are numerous.
04:20For example, there were written sources and books available in the market, including the book "The City of Hebron Through the Ages" by Dr. Jawad Bahr.
04:32In addition to the great female figure in the history of Jerusalem and Hebron, which was achieved by the late Dr. Adnan Abu Tabani
04:40There are other written and electronic sources such as "Our Country Palestine" by Mustafa al-Dabbab and "The Old Quarters of the Ancient City of Hebron" by Professor Nidal Kater Badhar.
04:54Of course, in addition to that, we conducted interviews with these figures, including the late Dr. Adnan Abu Tabani, and we also conducted an interview with Dr. Jawad Bahr.
05:07In addition to the video episodes with Professor Nidal Kater Badhar
05:11We strive for a comprehensive Palestinian library that encompasses all Palestinian regions, and we attempt to cover everything we can access in Palestine in order to make it available to viewers.
05:39And to introduce him to all the natural, historical, religious, and archaeological areas within Palestine, in addition to the cultural areas, and to reach the Palestinian in the diaspora, the Palestinian in the world, and the Arab and Muslim in all places where they are.
05:55Thanks for watching
