The
PUSH Project is divided in to three project phases as
described below.
To date we have completed the research phase and the
common narrative phase and are beginning the pilot
phase.
Research Phase
The
aim of this stage is to identify
organizations at the national level that currently
possess or are able to prepare inventories of
cultural and natural sites at the national level
detailing the Palestinian, Jordanian and Israeli
narrative.
Evaluate and edit inventories of cultural and natural sites at the national level detailing the Palestinian, Jordanian and Israeli narrative.
Hold 3 national level workshops involving up to 25 representatives of the above organizations that possess inventories to review the national inventory of potential sites of outstanding regional value and their narratives.
Hold a regional experts workshop to develop the common narrative of the sites listed in the three national inventories and identify the information gaps of the three national inventories. Experts from other World and European relevant organizations and advisory bodies would be invited to participate.

Pilot Phase
Hold
a regional experts workshop to identify six cultural
or natural sites that reflect a common narrative. One
site in each country will be identified by the common
heritage linking the three sites and three sites will
be identified, where each site holds two or more
narratives reflecting the common heritage of the
three peoples.
Undertake 6 Community Site Tours for each community that lives in proximity to a selected pilot site to tour the other linked heritage sites from the common narrative in the other countries.
Preparation of 6 specific pilot site manuals describing the shared historical text, a potential design / plan for the site and a cultural resource management plan.
Publication of notice boards and brochures at each of the 6 pilot sites describing the shared heritage of the site.
Undertake 3 national level training sessions for tour guides to teach tour guides how to explain the shared narrative of the sites.
