RTM’s presence in the Palestinian Territories started as part of the twinning that binds the Province of Reggio Emilia to the Governorate of Bethlehem and the Municipality of Reggio Emilia with the Municipality of Beit Jala. At the level of civil society, RTM has launched partnerships with local entities on the issues of disability and childhood. Since 2015, RTM has been present in the country with operational headquarters and pre-school interventions in support of early childhood.
