Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Anna Lindh foundation acts as a network of networks of the 35 civil societies forming the Euro-Mediterranean partnership. Thus, Cyprus should be considered as a new member for the network for it is a Mediterranean country, an EU member state and a country which has been known for its problematic political situation, being formed by divided communities. One of the ‘Development’s main goals is to promote itself as a Regional Hub for MENA region. Thus during this attempt, strong affiliations with the ALF network could act as a powerful tool for Cyprus. Also, the platform will be largely benefited from any future collaboration with ALF since it will be enjoying its trainings, coordination meetings, direct organization of events, visibility actions and the foundation can acts as a facilitator between the different members of the ‘Development’.
