As the only intersectoral network it brings together members and strategic partners from all areas of culture. Culture Action Europe is the political voice of the cultural sector in Europe, the first port of call for informed opinion and debate about arts and cultural policy.

Culture Action Europe maintains an ongoing dialogue and knowledge sharing between the European cultural sector and policymakers. CAE advocates for transformative cultural policies that recognise and support culture as a sector in its own right and a catalyst contributing to other sectors.

- We create understanding of different cultural needs, practices and applicable policies within a diversity of contexts
- We facilitate effective policy-level communications between the European institutions, Member States, regional and local authorities and cultural actors.
- We generate debate beyond the usual spheres and create peer-to-peer relations with other sectors by positioning the critical value of contemporary culture in relation to the production of knowledge

General Information
The European Institute for Strategic Analysis and Policy Initiative (EIPISA) is a non-profit think tank specialising in precise, transparent information to understand the political, economic and social reality between Europe and the Middle East and North Africa. We bring respected people, from all over the world, who have dedicated their professional life to analysis and understanding of these issues. We will contribute to creating a space of cooperation and common interests in all areas of activity that influence relations between European countries and the Middle East and North Africa.  
Mission and Objectives

EIPISA’s main mission is to provide analysis and discussion forums that are useful and relevant to the formulation of EU policy. As part of this mission we also act as an interface between European experts and decision-makers at all levels. EIPISA is a platform of experts, intellectuals and people who have a great knowledge of the reality in Europe and the Middle East, to provide clear, objective, transparent and easily accessible information to understand the political, economic, social and humanitarian situation in the Middle East and North Africa.
We present evidence-based precise and unbiased resource. We support the work and cooperation of all institutions who work with to and / or have a significant interest in issues relating to the Middle East to find permanent solutions. The activities of the EIPISA team are intended to improve the EU's analytical capacity and to facilitate the shaping of common approaches.

Main Projects / Activities

By offering seminars, conferences, exhibitions and publications, we strive to build the bridges of understanding and mutual knowledge that will enable a fruitful cooperation for both the European Union and for the Mediterranean countries and the Middle East. We believe in our mission and we are dedicated to making it possible.
In the months that follow, we will strive to find solutions to the greatest challenges facing Europe and the Middle East: terrorism and radicalisation, how to bring ends the conflicts and facilitate democracy with the Arab Spring. We want to assist the countries of the European Union and the Middle East to develop their relations and how to ensure human rights and democracy is respected everywhere.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

EIPISA accounts a great infraestructure where experts, intellectuals, and political and economic personalities who have experience with the geostrategic challenge that define the political, economic and social structure in an increasingly globalised world. Our network has roots in different Middle Eastern countries such as Syria or Turkey, that could contribute to the goals of the Anna Lindh Foundation. As our office in Brussels pretends to develop most of its activities in Belgium we could cooperate in many activities helping each other to accomplish our common objectives.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Anna Lindh Foundation is one of the most relevant European networks. Our field of activity is both in Europe and Middle East, and the more we can share and cooperate with other organisations sharing our perspective, and common interests, the better for everybody. We think we can benefit from the participation in this network and contribute to bring people together from both sides of the Mediterranean Sea.
