The non-profit education sector plays an important role in facing the challenges surrounding refugees in general and Palestinian societies in particular, as access to the true history of the Palestinian cause is often difficult and distorted due to the practices of the occupation. In recent years, digital entrepreneurship has emerged as a powerful tool for non-profit organizations operating in the education sector, enabling them to develop innovative solutions that can make a real difference in the culture and knowledge of Palestinians regarding their rights and the history of their cause. Creativity is a critical component of this process, enabling nonprofit entrepreneurs working in the field to develop novel, practical solutions that can maximize the impact of limited resources and address critical challenges.
The study aimed to investigate the impact of creativity on digital entrepreneurship at the Academy of Refugee Studies. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach, conducted on a sample of 114 volunteers. The results of the study indicated that there were high levels of interest in creativity and digital entrepreneurship among the volunteers. The results also showed that creativity had a significant impact on the volunteers' digital entrepreneurship. In addition, there is no difference between male and female volunteers in creativity and digital entrepreneurship, as everyone is heavily involved in this field in the Academy. The study recommended the administrative leaders of the Academy of Refugee Studies adopt creative behaviors such as attracting and supporting talent to attain more achievements in this field; moreover, provide training for volunteers on creativity and digital entrepreneurship behaviors.
