Transition world is a powerful new approach to dealing with the profound challenges we face today. It’s a platform that brings together international organizations, civil society groups, business enterprises, and public institutions ready to seize the opportunity for creating a real and sustainable transition towards a more humane, equitable, and flourishing world.
Our approach is to work on 3 different levels simultaneously in order to evoke:
1) Personal transformation – promoting a new worldview that recognizes our basic interconnectedness and interdependence and promotes the flourishing of life on planet Earth in all its magnificent forms.
2) Local transformation – developing successful small-scale, local sustainability projects and new, evolving technologies that can be made into successful mainstream initiatives.
3) Global transformation – catalysing strong and sustainable partnerships among people, communities, governments, NGO’s and businesses on a global scale.
Our collaborating partners are united in the realization that we need to connect, communicate, and collaborate – to share ideas and resources – if we are to be successful in co-creating viable long-term, workable solutions.
Transition World has in the past year produced one local and two international events - including our launch event at Kronborg Castle in May last year. Highlights from the launch event can be screened on this link: http://transitionworld.org/videos/
The organization is presently involved in the development of several new educational initiatives in collaboration with national and international partners and we are planning a high profile international event in connection with the International Peace Day on 21 September 2016. (See the attached introduction)
For more information please contact Bente Milton.
Through organizing conferences, events and educational initiatives alligned with the vision and mission of The Anna Lindh Foundation.
Because there seems to be a lot of synergy potential to explore. Especially in connection with the upcoming September event.

Ung i Gladsaxe is also known as “UNiG” which translated into English, means “Young in Gladsaxe Community”. It is a project run by the community of Gladsaxe and involves youngsters from the age of 13 to 29. In Gladsaxe we’ve got six youth clubs situated in various places throughout the community. In the youth clubs there are hired and educated pedagogues, whose purpose is to make activities with the youngsters, such as playing table tennis, football, board games etc. as well as making sure that the youngsters are socially in balance. The youth clubs secure, that all young people in the community can find a place to interact with other youngsters, or talk to an adult about what's going on in their lives. In UNiG, we have created something called UNiGTravel. In UNiGTravel, we seek to promote intercultural communication and SDGs with all the youngsters. By arranging international tours with Erasmus+ trainings.
- Include youth from different backgrounds residing in Gladsaxe Municipality by offering Entertainment, music, art, social, activities
- We want to inspire youngsters to travel abroad and engage in Intercultural dialogue.
Ung i Gladsaxe works on the basis of a community-creating and participation-oriented approach, where the focus is on creating dynamic youth environments that are based on young people' interests and needs, provide a safe environment and motivate for active participation, commitment and responsibility. It is our ambition to be visible resource-persons for young peoplewhere they are - not only in existing youth clubs, but also in the local area and the city's spaces. Ung i Gladsaxe is supposed to build a bridge between young people in primary and lower secondary schools, youth educations, municipal support initiatives, associations and cultural life. Based on a basic pedagogical relationship work, we aim to work, with focus on not doing activities for young people, but to do activities with young people, as well as trying to enable them to self-organize activities and projects. “Ung til ung” is an example of a project, where youngsters works with solidarity. More specifically, the project focuses on youngsters in the local community, to be more visible for the whole city, by making events for everyone. Events for young people, elderly and people from all kind of cultures, as it is an intercultural group. These events include making and eating dinner together, going to the theatre, going to concerts etc. What are the skills and expertise of key staff/persons
We can contribute in the events and discussions about youth inclusion, further, we can host some activities.
Because UNiG and ALF has the same values and mission of promoting intercultural dialogue between youth. Additionally, making networking between organizations to work collaboratively will help us in having more impact.

The mission of Upstream Stories is to use participatory media to offer voice to underprivileged groups and individuals and by doing so to promote understanding and intercultural dialogue.
Objectives:
1.Empowering people at risk of exclusion through giving them opportunities to express themselves using means and methods of participatory media;
2. Providing events and workshops aiming at enhancing participants’ creativity, self-reflection, critical thinking and making their personal stories heard, as well as upgrading their IT and communication skills;
3. Promoting social inclusion and dialogue, especially across social and cultural differences;
4. Creating educational content and providing training for trainers aiming at promoting participatory media as a way for empowerment.
Main projects and activities:
- Local and international workshops based on participatory media (mainly digital storytelling and participatory photography) addressed to people at risk of exclusion (migrants, refugees, homeless, people living in deprived areas, people with disabilities and others);
- Facilitators’ workshops aiming at equipping civil society activists with the aforementioned methods;
- Development of educational curricula and publications promoting participatory media;
- Board meeting once a month;
All the activities implemented by Upstream Stories are based on money from the donors and do not require entry fee from participants in order to provide inclusion for people with limited financial resources.
We believe our expertise in the participatory media and working with vulnerable social groups could be a valuable countribution to the Network in Denmark. We have regular calls for Danish participants to join both local and international workshops on digital storytelling and participatory photography - taking part in these activities could be beneficial for the Network members. By cooperating with us, they could gain access to all the educational materials and resources on particiaptory media methods we have developed. In the future we could also organize a trainign or seminar on the methods we use that would be exclusively addressed to the local Network members.
We would like to join the ALF Network to gain valuable professional connections for future projects, both in Denmark and abroad. We see the variety of the Netowrk members as a great chance for us to gain new resources, exchange experiences, and therefore increase our professional capacities as an NGO.

Our mission is to contribute to transparency in the conflict in Israel and Palestine, by holding a space for personal experiences of the conflict. Much of the available information on the conflict is about dramatic events, solutions and politics, whereas we aim to provide personal information. From this information, we trust that understanding and a sense of community will emerge, and from that common solutions towards sustainable peace in the region. To support the persons telling their story, and our whole work in the project, we use Nonviolent Communication. Our aim is to add video to video and hold the space for more and more voices, until enough understanding and community is generated.
Our team of 6 persons make video interviews with people who are influenced by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. An interview usually takes 2 hours. It can be people who have contacted us through our website or have otherwise heard about the project, or it can be people that WE ask to share a personal experience related to the conflict. The interview is edited to a 5 min.s video clip and published on our website. In this way a forum for sharing personal consequences of the conflict system is held, for stories to inspire stories, especially in the non-blaming way they are told with Nonviolent Communication. On the website, people can comment on the videos. So far we have 13 video clips on our site, the 14th is on the way. A further prospect is to have the website and all video clips subtitled in English, Arabic and Hebrew, to ensure equal language access to the material (so far all is in English only). http://voice-by-voice.org. Please see attached budget for planned activities.
We have been uncertain about where to apply for membership. We want to stay both-sided in the conflict, so we don't want to only join a network in either Israel or Palestine. Since it seems we can't choose both, we have chosen Denmark. We are aware that our field of work is not directly in Denmark (although the conflict is worldwide), only when it comes to addressing Danish interest in peace building, human rights and democratic development in the Middle East and playing a leading role in that, but also a Danish interest in mere cultural exchange. NB: We have asked the ALF office (by email) what network to apply to, but have received no answer yet.
We want to join the ALF Network to get access to inspiration, partnership and funding. We reckon that there might very well be similar projects and activities and we want to get to the synergy of sharing ideas. Voice by Voice is a new project and organization and we have much to learn in building our organization and project.
On the occasion of International Women's Day, on March 8th 2022 14:00-17:00 CET, Crossing Borders, as part of their work as Head of Danish ALF Network, will host a Food for Thought session dedicated to Women's Voices.
The event will take place at Studenterhuset (Købmagergade 52, Copenhagen) and will count on the presence of different pioneering women from the EuroMed region such as singer and spoken word artist Pearl Cutten, drum performer Simona Abdallah, TEDx speaker Nora Al Bitar, artist and spoken word poet Sarah Diallo, and ALF Danish Network’s focal point Alba Navas. While the voices of these women are heard, One Bowl community kitchen and Syrian chef Zaki Abbara will cook a delicious meal that all attendees will share.
Food for Thought is a series of events that enable people to be inspired by each other's life experiences through storytelling in a stimulating and inclusive environment, while enjoying multicultural dinners. These events have proven their power to bring people together and create room for conversation across cultures and points of view. As part of the series, previous sessions have taken place in February and early March focusing on migration and on genuine youth inclusion in their societies’ development.
