Through these methods, ATG seeks to promote a positive image of Palestine and its people and to contribute to establishment of a just peace in the area.

ATG works with a wide range of groups and delegations that include:

  • International solidarity groups
  • Academic and fact-finding delegations
  • Church groups concerned with issues of social justice
  • Diplomats, journalists and researchers
