General Information

The main goal of the Center is: Strengthening civil society by stimulating cooperation for a positive impact on policy-making and, in particular, empowering women in decision-making in every sphere of life. Our vision consists of developing an active network with Albanian organizations and actors around the world for the promotion of quality education, volunteerism, dialogue, democratic culture, national heritage, cyber security, green economy and sustainable tourism with a special focus on empowering young people as change-makers in the society, through the exchange of experiences and positive models of passing on positive national and European values to the younger generations in Albania, but also in the Albanian territories, in Kosovo, Macedonia, and Montenegro. Capacity building and awareness on the importance of mental health at all social levels is one of our main priorities. Our core mission is supporting all parts of the Albanian society in the efforts for a sustainable development, which in particular to us means pursuing and achieving a balance between technology development including AI on the one hand, and human and environmental development on the other hand, thus considering this a trinomial for sustainability that will contribute to a healthier society, economy and environment.

General Information

Next Gen Advocates is a non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to advocating for individual rights and liberties. Founded with the vision of empowering citizens through education, legal assistance, and advocacy, Next Gen Advocates operates with a commitment to fostering a society where every individual's rights are recognized, respected, and protected. With its headquarters in Gjakova, a city with a vibrant community and a significant history in the heart of Kosovo, the organization is strategically positioned to address both local and national challenges in human rights advocacy. Mission The mission of Next Gen Advocates is threefold: Education: To educate the public about their rights and how to protect them. This involves organizing workshops, seminars, and campaigns to inform citizens about their legal rights and the importance of civic engagement. Legal Assistance: To provide legal support and representation to individuals whose rights have been violated. This includes offering free or low-cost legal services to those in need, especially marginalized and underserved communities. Advocacy: To advocate for policy changes that promote human rights and justice. This involves lobbying government bodies, collaborating with other NGOs and stakeholders, and using media platforms to push for reforms that enhance civil liberties. Role and Activities Next Gen Advocates plays a crucial role in the community by serving as a bridge between the public and the legal system. Its activities are designed to address the pressing needs of individuals facing legal challenges, while also working on a broader scale to influence policy and societal norms. Key roles and activities include: Community Engagement: to raise awareness about important political and legal issues. This involves organizing town hall meetings, public forums, and discussions that facilitate a deeper understanding of the political landscape and how it affects individuals' rights and freedoms. Political Education: A core aspect of Next Gen Advocates' mission is to educate citizens on the political process, governance, and how decisions made by elected officials impact their daily lives. The organization provides resources and training on how to effectively participate in the democratic process, including voting, campaigning for candidates or causes, and engaging with representatives to advocate for policy changes. Legal Aid and Representation: Offering legal assistance to those who have been unjustly treated or whose rights are under threat. This includes taking on cases related to civil rights violations, discrimination, and other injustices, providing a lifeline for individuals who otherwise might not have access to legal representation. Policy Advocacy and Reform: Working to influence policy at both the local and national levels. By researching and drafting policy proposals, engaging with policymakers, and mobilizing public support, Next Gen Advocates seeks to bring about legislative and regulatory changes that protect and expand individual rights. Youth Empowerment: Recognizing the importance of engaging the next generation, the organization places a strong emphasis on youth empowerment. This includes educational programs tailored for young people, initiatives that encourage youth participation in politics and civil society, and mentorship opportunities that connect young individuals with leaders in various fields. Collaboration with Other Organizations: Partnering with other NGOs, community groups, and international bodies to amplify their impact. Through collaborations, Next Gen Advocates leverages collective expertise and resources to tackle complex issues and advocate for widespread change.

Impact in Gjakova and Beyond Headquartered in Gjakova, Next Gen Advocates is uniquely positioned to address the specific challenges faced by the community in Kosovo while also contributing to national and international human rights efforts. Gjakova, with its rich history and diverse population, serves as both a symbol and a practical base for the organization's work in promoting justice, equality, and democracy. By focusing on political education alongside legal advocacy, Next Gen Advocates aims to empower citizens with the knowledge and tools they need to advocate for themselves and their communities. The organization's role extends beyond immediate legal assistance to include a broader commitment to building a more informed, engaged, and equitable society. Through its efforts, Next Gen Advocates contributes to the ongoing development of Kosovo's democratic institutions and civil society, making a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and the health of the political system as a whole.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Well, to contribute to the Anna Lindh Foundation's network in my country, I would start by researching their ongoing projects and initiatives that resonate with Next Gen Advocates' mission. Once I've identified relevant projects, I'd reach out to the Anna Lindh Foundation or its local representatives to express our organization's interest in collaborating and contributing to their network. I'd emphasize how our work at Next Gen Advocates aligns with their goals, especially in areas like community engagement, youth empowerment, and human rights. Attending their events, workshops, and conferences would be a great way to establish connections with like-minded organizations and individuals. I'd also offer to share our resources, such as educational materials, training programs, or legal expertise, that could benefit the Anna Lindh Foundation's network. Joining any working groups or committees that focus on our areas of interest would be a priority, as it would allow us to actively contribute our insights and perspectives. Moreover, I'd explore opportunities for joint projects or initiatives with the Anna Lindh Foundation to amplify our impact in promoting intercultural dialogue, human rights, and democracy in our country. Attending their capacity-building workshops would help us enhance our organization's capabilities and skills. Promoting cultural exchange programs, dialogue initiatives, and youth engagement activities aligning with their mission is something I'd be proactive about. By advocating for shared values related to democracy, human rights, and intercultural dialogue, both independently and in collaboration with the Anna Lindh Foundation, we can collectively make a difference. Sharing our success stories with their network would serve as inspiration and motivation for others working in similar fields. Collaborating and actively engaging with the Anna Lindh Foundation's network is essential to fostering a stronger and more inclusive society in our country and beyond.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Our organization's mission aligns closely with the goals and values upheld by the ALF Network, particularly in the areas of intercultural dialogue, human rights, and democracy promotion. At Next Gen Advocates, our commitment to raising awareness about important political and legal issues, providing legal aid and representation to marginalized communities, and empowering youth to actively participate in the democratic process mirrors the objectives of the ALF Network. We firmly believe that collaboration with like-minded organizations is crucial to creating a more inclusive and equitable society. Here are some specific reasons why we are eager to become part of the ALF Network: Shared Values: We are deeply aligned with the values and principles upheld by the ALF Network, which prioritize dialogue, diversity, and human rights. Collaborative Opportunities: We recognize the potential for impactful collaboration within the ALF Network. Partnering with other organizations that share our vision can amplify our efforts and create a more significant impact.

Amplified Impact: By becoming part of the ALF Network, we aim to contribute to broader initiatives that promote social cohesion and understanding, both locally and on a global scale. Knowledge Exchange: We value the opportunity to learn from others in the network and share our own experiences and best practices in the fields of human rights, youth empowerment, and community engagement. Advocacy and Awareness: Joining the ALF Network will enable us to strengthen our advocacy efforts and raise awareness about critical issues related to democracy, human rights, and intercultural dialogue. We are eager to explore how our organization can actively participate in the ALF Network's initiatives, collaborate on projects, and contribute to the network's overall mission. We look forward to the possibility of working closely with the ALF Network and leveraging our collective efforts to create a more inclusive and tolerant society.

Online Networking sessions between members from the North and the South of Mediterranean

Image
ALB-LUX-MOR

Online Networking Sessions between Albania-Luxembourg-Lebanon-Morocco and Denmark, gathered around 50 network members from all the countries to discuss about the joint challenges they face and to generate ideas for cooperation in addressing those challenges.

The online networking sessions that took place on December 18th and December 20th, were organized by Albanian Media Institute (HoN in Albania), in partnership with Our Common Future (HoN Luxembourg), Agir ensemble (HoN Morocco) and Lebanese National Commission for UNESCO (HoN Lebanon).

The purpose of these online networking sessions was to build bridges for cooperation between ALF network members from the North and the South of Mediterranean.

The networking sessions revealed that the challenges that the members face in all the countries are more similar than different, and that is the first step to having synergies and joint actions between them.

Main thematic areas that were identified from both sessions were related to youth engagement and participation, gender equality/gender based violence, diversity and human rights, polarization and hate speech, as well as Media and Information Literacy.

Following the sessions, the Head of the Network in Albania will launch a call for proposals for the participating members to apply and address some of the common challenges identified.

Online Youth Debate: “Content creators just satisfy what the audience demands: both sexist language and images".

Image
Invitation

Women’s image and role played in media settings are heavily swayed by existing social and cultural norms entangling gender stereotypes. The stereotyped image of women manifested by sexist and misogynic language and amplified by media outlets is certainly hindering the progress made to attain gender equality.

“Mind the language” a project that brings together youth from Albania, Spain and Tunisia and offers them the opportunity to map the situation in their country regarding the usage of sexist and misogynistic language in media, exchange insights on their realities and to foster counter and alternative narratives.

The project is awarded within the frame of the Intercultural Cities Programme funded by the Anna Lindh Foundation, led by Albanian Media Institute (The Head of Network) and our partners WeYouth Organization and AIFED.

The first activity of the project is an Online Youth Debate with the participation of young people from Spain, Tunisia and Albania and other countries of the Euro-Med region.

The debate will take place in ZOOM on 10th November 2021, at 18:00 CET.

Motion of the debate will be “Content creators just satisfy what the audience demands: both sexist language and images".
