Five universities composing the Ateneo network, namely Ateneo De Manila University, Ateneo De Naga University, Ateneo De Zamboanga University, Ateneo De Davao University and Xavier University, convened for the launch of Ateneo 4 Palestine on 20 June 2024, Thursday, via Facebook.

The network dubbed as A4P is a pro-Palestine assemblage of various “organizations, councils, publications, and individual volunteers from the Ateneo system” formed in support of the Palestinian people and pro-Palestine ceasefire protests. 


This movement by the alliance of the Ateneo schools forges reinforced unity among Ateneans in the dissent against the “US-backed Israel genocide’ and aims to mobilise a system-wide effort to call “for the liberation of Palestine amidst the ethnic cleansing and occupation of the Palestinian land.”


The initiative will be marked by giving of informational materials, educational forums, and advancement of solidarity actions such as by encouragement to involve in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) campaign among the individual and group members.
