DESCRIZIONE DEL PROGETTO
FORMATIVO
The Rozana organization aims at developing an agrocultural tourism product in Birzeit based on the
architectural and cultural heritage of its old town, its history
and its inherent resources, hence connecting stakeholders'
interest with a comprehensive production designed to
improve its social, economic and cultural aspects. It will do
so by:

Advocating laws and regulations that will protect
the remaining architectural heritage and fabric. This
legal advocacy will also be associated with
providing the stakeholders with the necessary
contracts in the case of rental or investment
contracts to do with their properties.

Administering a program of preventive maintenance
that will preserve targeted buildings from further
collapse and vandalism. This protective renovation
aims to conserve the architectural heritage and to
prepare the foundation for further investments and
development. The nature of the preventive
maintenance program is mostly external and does
not interfere with functional activities.

Creating functions and activities in each of the
renovated buildings according to a preset (yet
flexible) master plan aimed at instilling life in them
and the neighborhoods surrounding them.

Organizing a set of events and festivals to attract
guests to the town. In addition planning a series of
marketing efforts to promote the different products
and to assist in selling the local productions and
activities.

Creating a variety of spin off products that will
assist in the promotion of the town's activities as
well as serving the interests of the local community.
The proposed activities are: A. a boys and girls
choir to rehearse daily at a specific preset time in
the Latin Church. B. opening agricultural routes
that will serve the community as well as providing
hiking, mountain biking and other recreational
activities
