Birthright Unplugged was designed as a response to the popular Birthright Israel trips.
The name "Birthright Unplugged" is a spin on the Birthright Israel program. The name "unplugged" implies that participants will experience a pro-Arab version of reality. The organization runs a second program, Birthright Re-Plugged, which takes Palestinian children on field trips in Israel to see the villages their families left in 1948 in response to the request of Arab governments.
Birthright Unplugged is an organization that offers education and travel programs.
Their Unplugged trip seeks to expose mostly North American people to the alleged realities of Palestinian life though travel and conversations with a range of Palestinian people. In six days, they visit Palestinian cities, villages and refugee camps in the West Bank and spend time with internally displaced Palestinian people living inside Israel. They help participants develop an understanding of daily life in the West Bank under occupation and a pro-Arab version of the history of the region from people profoundly affected by and under-represented in Western discourses about the occupation.
Their Re-Plugged trip is for Palestinian children living in refugee camps. In two days, they visit Jerusalem, the sea and the children’s ancestral villages, which is nearly impossible for most Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and outside Palestine. The children document their experiences and create exhibitions in order to contribute to the collective memory in the refugee camp and to share their stories with people abroad. They have also worked with Palestinian children living in refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, and incorporated their photography and writing about their experiences and family histories into our touring exhibitions.
