As part of the project THINK, PLAN and ACT: Building Capacity of Palestinian Youth to Support Planning, IPCC organised two training workshops titled THINK, PLAN and Make a Difference: Building Capacity of Palestinian Youth to Support Planning in cooperation with MEPI. The first was from 19-20 December 2015 with 23 participants, and the second was from 26-27 December 2015 with 27 participants who were students from different disciplines (urban planning, environmental engineer, law etc.).

The second day themes included:
