The name "Ibda'a," (ابداع) is translated from Arabic as "creation" or "creative ability". Ibda'a Cultural Center (Ibda'a) is a grassroots, community-based organization located in the Dheisheh refugee camp within occupied Palestinian territory. Since its foundation in 1994, Ibda'a serves more than 2000 children, youth, men and women annually, and provides employment and income to some families in the camp. Ibda'a’s mission is to create a positive atmosphere for residents of the refugee camp in order to assist them in developing creativity and leadership skills through a range of social, cultural and educational activities.
Ibda'a believes that by empowering the most vulnerable members of our community trough offering training in skills from diverse fields, we provide a space for Palestinian refugees to activate their role in society and participate in addressing the public’s needs and concerns. As a result, Ibda'a instills a culture of democracy and acceptance of others, away from all forms of prejudice. Ibda'a’s goals serve as a compass for all activities and describe how the Ibda'a family behaves inside and outside the camp.
Ibdaa has become one of the most successful organizations in Palestine, playing a vital role in the community’s survival and resilience – particularly after the Intifada started – by organizing events and art projects and teaching vital life skills
