On April 10-13, 2012, Palestinians, Israelis and activists from around the world will converge in the village of Bil'in to discuss the Palestinian popular struggle, vision, tactics, strategies and international support under the auspices of the 7th Bil'in Conference on Popular Struggle.

Civil resistance to Israel's occupation remains steadfast and is rapidly spreading throughout the land. From the local struggles of villagers on the ground, to successful BDS campaigns across the globe, demanding and implementing Israeli accountability - the struggle for justice and liberation is one.
Drawing delegations from across the globe, the Bil’in conference will provide opportunities to build and strengthen ties between Palestinian, Israeli and international activists working against Israeli apartheid, to strategize and to support Palestinian popular resistance. Representatives from popular committees throughout the West Bank will be in attendance.
Unlike in previous years, the 2012 Bil'in Conference will be held in several venues across the West Bank, including Jerusalem.
Accommodation with Bil’in families:
€20/night
