Our History

Our adventure for Excellence began with the birth of the Excellence Center in 2011 in Hebron, Palestine. Since then our network has expanded not just within Palestine but also to Germany with the Excellence Center in Europe coming online in 2018. Through the years of community development initiatives, supporting community engagement, integration, and cultural exchange, we have come a long way.

The following is a short overview of our history and success both in Palestine and Germany.
