Clowning, Connecting, and Creativity – RNPS at RNI Camp 2025 in Czechia

Clowning, Connecting, and Creativity – RNPS at RNI Camp 2025 in Czechia.

From the heart of Palestine to the lush greens of West Bohemia, Czechia — RED NOSES Palestine (RNPS) joined the RED NOSES International (RNI) Camp 2025.

This year’s camp transformed into a vibrant film festival, gathering 180 artists from 11 countries for 4 days of creativity, learning, and connection.

Our team — Managing Director Raed Sadeq, Artistic Director Daoud Totah, and our amazing clowns Manwa Abu Jumaa, Christine Hodali, Mousa Nazza, and Adnan Bobali — dived into artistic & management workshops, leadership sessions, and global exchanges that will inspire our work here at home. As part of our contribution to the camp, our Artistic Director Daoud Totah  presented a special workshop titled "The Clown Logic” which is part of the RNI curriculum.

"During the camp, I took part in valuable and diverse workshops, like how to use our voices and bodies, and how to respond to different reactions. What impacted me the most was when they put us in groups with participants we didn’t know before and asked us to create a joint film. We came up with the idea of showcasing three different cultures and their traditional songs. I even received the 'Oscar' for the film — a truly special and meaningful moment for me." Said Manwa Abu Jumaa, Healthcare Clown.

Moreover, during the camp, our healthcare clown Christine Hodali was honored for completing 1,000 visits during her journey with RED NOSES Palestine.
