Samahear Al-Roumi, director of the "Bayt Al-Dammah" centre in Zababdeh, Jenin governorate, is documenting traditional Palestinian games to prevent them from disappearing, the Palestine News Network reported. The initiative aims to revive folk games that form part of Palestinian cultural heritage and have faced the risk of being forgotten.
The centre's documentation effort reflects broader concerns about preserving Palestinian cultural practices amid changing social conditions and external pressures on Palestinian communities in the West Bank.
