What We Do?
We organize events and create online content that mainly revolve around 4 models
• Model 1: Uno Culture
In that model we go through a particular culture, trying to show its beauty and richness through (Movies, Music, Poetry, Visual Arts, Etc.), Making them know more about the culture through games and quizzes and of course serving them one of the popular dishes in that culture.
• Model 2: Multi Cultures
In that model we present many cultures that have something in common, historical & geographical relations in particular.
• Model 3: Art & Artist
In that model we show and discuss a work of art (Movie, Play, Photograph or painting...Etc.), then talk about its creator and his/her other works.
• Model 4: Issues & Discussions
In that model we tackle a topic that is related to our values, via organizing various types of events (Debates, Open talks, Clubs and Workshops...Etc.).
Why We Do It?
• Locally (On the scale of Alexandria):
We aim to show the cosmopolitan visage of Alexandria as a Historical city that contains many types of heritage and cultural backgrounds.
• Globally:
We aim to help in the peace building process globally by reducing fear.
We believe that the source of Discrimination and demagogue is fear, once we break that fear -especially fear of differences- we will be able to reduce all types of discrimination and restrain demagogue speech that overtakes nowadays.
We want to increase people's urge to accept new thoughts and backgrounds.
"Food & stuff "أكل و حاجات is a cultural project started in September 2016 and located in Alexandria, Egypt.
The project aims to connect all kinds of cultural products (Cinema – Music – Theater – Literature, etc.) from all over the world and link them with one main motif: Food. We aim to merge all backgrounds and in one cultural pot which will modestly help in reducing the fear of differences and make people more open to different ideas and beliefs.
Our activities: Currently we are working on series of events that aim to show the culture of different countries through Cinema, Music and one of the popular dishes from that country.
We hope that someday in the future we may contribute in the process of world peace creation and help empowering youth and amateurs like ourselves.
I can contribute to the network in my country by organizing events seek to show what other organizations in the network do, form partnerships and co-organize events with them.
We work on intercultural dialogue activities which will open the space for me to contribute with other network organization each in their field.
ALF had many activities in Egypt revolved around intercultural dialogue - which is our main interest -, So we think joining ALF Network will be a great addition to our activities and it will add to us new knowledge.
Furthermore, learning from ALF work experience in Egypt is something important to.
Also, We seek expanding our network of people/organizations who are interested in Food & Intercutural dialogue.
