Nick Bilbrough • Events Coordinator and Materials Development

I’m a teacher, teacher trainer and author of methodology books for teachers. I started the Hands up Project in early 2015 after running a British Council training course on storytelling for teachers from Gaza. These days I’m responsible for organising everything related to events that happen outside of Palestine; our ‘Moon tell me truth’ poetry events and talks in schools, universities and conferences about our work. I’m also responsible for overseeing all of our publications, as well as developing materials which may be used in sessions. I think my proudest Hands Up Project moment was when I was able to present our first book, ‘Toothbrush’, to the children in Palestine whose plays were included there.
