The Carmel Cultural Association, established in Nuseirat camp in 1993 and officially licensed as a non-profit civil institution by the Ministry of Culture in 1995, stands as a dedicated entity for the preservation of Palestinian cultural identity. The association was founded by a group of conscious young individuals and intellectuals united by the shared goal of advancing the National Cultural Program. Their mission is to carry the message of culture forward for future generations, recognizing the pivotal role culture plays in shaping social and economic spheres of life. They are aware of the profound impact it has on human development, aiming to propel society towards progress and prosperity.

The association operates with the understanding that building a democratic society is crucial for assuming responsibility for future generations and fostering a positive environment for constructive interaction and self-expression. Through its cultural programs, the Carmel Cultural Association seeks to create a platform for meaningful dialogue, collective expression, and continued enrichment of Palestinian cultural heritage. The vision and goal of the Carmel Cultural Association are firmly grounded in the belief that culture holds a distinct importance in human life, comparable to other essential components such as air and food. The Carmel Cultural Association is committed to providing a diverse range of services in cultural and social affairs, addressing daily and future concerns of the community. These services aim to amplify the capabilities of women, children, and youth, fostering self-realization, knowledge acquisition, cultural enrichment, and awareness among the population. The association is structured into seven main departments, each playing a unique role in contributing to the holistic development of the community, through different units, namely: the Public Library Department, the Popular Arts Unit, the Educational Unit, Audio-visual library, “Technology and Information Exchange Unit”, Kindergarten and Nursery Department, Community Development Department, Family Solidarity Unit. Through these seven departments, the Carmel Cultural Association strives to create a vibrant and inclusive community space that promotes education, cultural enrichment, and social development for individuals of all ages, while addressing both immediate and long-term concerns.
