What is the story?
Our Collective Duty - Farkha is a participative design project that aims to rehabilitate the abandoned historical center of the village into a community space with and for (modern) Farkha’s inhabitants. By adopting a community-based approach, the collective wishes to improve the cultural, educational, and economic situation of the residents in a sustainable manner.

Who we are
Our Collective Duty - Farkha was founded in 2022 by two architects and the mayor of Farkha with the mission of saving one of the only still original remaining villages in Palestine: Farkha. In cooperation with the municipality of Farkha and under the umbrella of Engineering Commune, we are now a collective of more of a dozen volunteers, willing to revitalise this ancient village. We are architects, engineers, social workers, artists, documenters, but we are even more than this: We are all fighters for the Palestine's cultural and architectural heritage.
