Fields of Activity
  1. Youth and education
General Information

We are a small organisation consisting of four employees and dedicated volunteer instructors. Our annual budget is approximately 70k euros, made possible through various funding, including from key partners like THE SKATEROOM and Choose Love. Our mission revolved around using skateboarding as a powerful tool for positive change for youth. Our trusty van houses our mobile skatepark, carrying essential equipment to deliver free, accessible and inclusive skateboarding sessions throughout the Athens municipality. These sessions are open to all Athenian youth, but we prioritise underserved neighbourhoods with diverse communities. We aim to provide opportunities for youth to build skills, foster community and break down barriers. We believe skateboarding can empower and unite, creating lasting impact.

Mission and Objectives

Through skateboarding, Free Movement Skateboarding (FMS) supports the wellbeing, empowerment and social cohesion of youth in Athens, Greece. Together, on and off the board, we push for a welcoming and diverse Athenian skate scene and society.
FMS skateboarding sessions go beyond learning to skate and strive towards our three core values - wellbeing, empowerment and social cohesion - achieved through our skateboarding session delivery and wider youth development programming for socially excluded communities in Athens. With our mobile skatepark, we provide skateboarding in underserved communities by offering free of charge equipment and guidance, youth work discussions and an inclusive, welcoming and safe environment. We use a trauma informed approach to promote wellbeing through a yoga based warm up, whilst also encouraging youth to take a mindful approach to their skateboarding and the community around them. We empower all youth, with a focus on refugees, migrants and asylum seekers, girls and those with learning disabilities, by having them reflected in our coaching team as role models and discussing with them that if they can achieve on the board, they can achieve great things elsewhere. Social cohesion is achieved by creating the conditions for integration of diverse groups who wouldn't normally meet, sharing space in the skatepark and beyond. Long-term, this creates new connections from diverse participants in our sessions and the skate scene at large, giving youth the community they need to be empowered, healthy, active citizens, creating the changes they want to see in Athens.
Over the past year, we have been working with Concrete Jungle Foundation’s Edu-Skate Curriculum, a programme for youth personal development through skateboarding: going beyond skateboarding to empower youth with the tools to achieve and flourish, in order to be agents of change in their lives and communities through the Self-Determination Theory.

Main Projects / Activities

ince 2017, we have taught over 1100 sessions, with almost 3200 participants from our mobile skatepark. Of these, 39% are female and are from more than 62 different cultural backgrounds, all living in Athens.

FMS is designed to give access to the highest quality, sports based, trauma-informed youth work from trained professionals in the safest environment to marginalised youth. We meet the highest level of organisational competence and capacity as we are registered in both Greece as AMKE and the UK as a CIO under the Charity Commission, meeting the strict compliance regulations of both.

Our mobile skatepark gives crucial access to positive recreation to disadvantaged youth, allowing us to provide free equipment, trauma informed youth work and community building in a safe space. We deliver sessions in four different neighbourhoods throughout the week. This enables us to achieve three core aims:

1. Wellbeing: Skateboarding is mindful exercise, in which focus is necessary to learn new tricks, championing physical and mental health.
2. Empowerment: We create spaces in which women, people of colour, LGBTQI+ and other groups feel safe to develop their skills on and off the board.
3. Social Cohesion: Through the supportive, communal act of skateboarding, diverse youth share more than just space and build community.

Beyond public sessions, we implement an Edu-Skate curriculum, which teaches vital life skills to our participants, like persistence, respect, and courage.

We further help build and widen community by hosting events that brings the FMS community together with the wider local skate scene and others. Some smaller events are aimed at introducing new experiences and excitement to our participants.

Moreover, we are committed to advocacy work, continuously working to highlight and raise awareness about the challenges and realities faced by our community and the neighbourhoods we work in. This is an ongoing effort that highlights our dedication to making a lasting and meaningful impact.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

FMS is well-positioned to contribute to the network in our country by offering expertise in community building and advocacy, we have a strong understanding of our communities and neighbourhoods challenges and realities. Our unique approach to addressing the issues we aim to combat provides an interesting perspective. We believe in the importance of knowledge exchange and collaboration in fostering opportunities to learn from one another's experiences, unique strategies, and in enhancing collective efforts.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We want to join the ALF network because we believe in shared values and objectives. We see an opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from the community, and actively contribute more to fostering inclusive and accepting societies, and combatting racism. ALF offers a platform for collaboration, amplifying our impact in pursuing our aims.

General Information
I am the Director of General Archives of Greece-Historical Archives of Epirus and the President of the Museum of Historical Archives of Epirus. My one-year Harvard experience, as fellow for the year 2006-2007, has exposed me to variety of opportunities and obstacles in my country's economy. I want to interact with the outstanding faculty of Anna Lihn Euro-Mediterranean Foundation to share your experiences and draw on your opinions. Because Anna Lihn Euro-Mediterranean Foundation is one of the nation's most highly regarded one I would like to be actively involved in your foundation to help enrich cultural dimensions in Epirus. I will be grateful to establish a cooperation in Epirus and we will grant the necessary time to fulfil your experience.
Mission and Objectives

Our purpose is to educate citizens in the art of freedom.Our purpose also is to educate new generation that Africa is the mother country and all the countries around the world come from it.
Additionally, another challenge might be the coordination with other museums around different countries, sharing information and administration, sharing resources and works of art. However, to protect our environment means environmental “security” according to Queen Noor. It is also very important for us and “must be viewed by the community of states as a vital global interest”. Preceding this idea working individually in our diversities we know how to work in groups. So, we emphasize in natural security and peace by having international symbols.

Main Projects / Activities

My twenty-three year experience in the Ministry of Education has exposed me to variety of opportunities and obstacles never before have been imagined. I want to interact with the Anna Lihn Euro-Mediterranean Foundation's members to share my experiences and draw on their opinions. I also want to be actively involved in student clubs to help enrich learning and cultural dimensions in Anna Lihn Euro-Mediterranean Foundation. I will have in your program and in your environment to do my global leadership skills.
By appraising the possibility to modify traditional methods argued in Archives and to invent new approaches as e-learning education I hope to establish the new model through my experience as teacher and a researcher.

Greek Network

Le réseau grec de la FAL, créé en 2005, compte actuellement 128 organisations de la société civile (OSC) et d’autres institutions pertinentes travaillant dans de nombreux secteurs différents et provenant de toutes les régions de Grèce.

Le chef du réseau national grec est la Fondation hellénique pour la culture et la fonction de co-chef du réseau est assurée par les Sociétés unies des Balkans, élues et désignées par vote populaire. Afin d’assurer un fonctionnement plus efficace et de mieux coordonner les membres au niveau local, des points d’attention prioritaires ont été désignés en fonction de la localisation géographique.

Notre vision est l’inclusion d’organisations actives ayant un impact social sur la communauté locale, leur autonomisation et leur formation pour accroître leurs compétences, un espace sûr pour l’échange de pratiques et d’expériences, en plus de la coopération au sein du réseau et de la communauté de la FAL dans son ensemble. Le respect des principes, des valeurs et des idéaux de la Fondation régit l’ensemble de la vision du réseau grec.

En termes de caractère et d’orientation, le réseau grec se compose d’une variété d’organisations issues de multiples secteurs ; il aspire à être un échantillon représentatif de la société civile grecque, mais aussi du monde universitaire, bien que la plupart des membres soient des organisations de petite ou moyenne taille, encourageant l’autogestion locale et les initiatives collectives.

Greek Network

The Greek Network of the ALF was created in 2005 and currently counts for 128 institutions of civil society organisations and other relevant institutions, working in many different fields, from all parts of Greece.

The Hellenic Foundation for Culture is the Head of the Greek National Network and the United Societies of Balkans is the Co-head of the Network, which was appointed as such and endorsed by popular vote. In order to function more efficiently and better coordinate members at the local level, focal points, based on geographic location, were introduced.

Our vision is the inclusion of active organisations with a social impact on the local community, their empowerment and training to increase skills, a safe space for the exchange of practices and experiences, in addition to cooperation within the Νetwork and within the ALF community at large. Respect for the principles, values, and ideals of the Foundation governs the entire vision of the Greek Network.

In terms of its character and orientation, the Greek Network consists of a variety of organisations from varied fields, aspiring to be a representative sample of Greek civil society, but also in academia, although most are either small or medium-sized organisations, encouraging local self-governance and collective initiatives.

The Greek Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation was created in 2005 and is counting numerous institutions of civil society from all parts of Greece as members. These institutions cover a large scale of actions regarding culture, human rights, arts and the protection of vulnerable social groups.

The Greek Culture Foundation is the head and coordinator of the Greek National Network. Co-head of the Network is a non-profit organization, the United Societies of Balkans. Other members of the National Network include Greek cultural and social institutions. In furtherance of the objectives of the Anna Lindh Foundation in Greece, the heads coordinate the planning and the management of the basic structures and communication channels between members and non-members or the network Network.

They also represent and promote opinions, ideas and concerns to the administration of the Anna Lindh Foundation In the meetings they organize regularly, they also consider the expansion and development of the National Network.

The members of our network have developed many activities with institutions of other countries, members of the Network. The Greek Culture Foundation has organised several international activities of the foundation taking place in Greece. In order to function more efficiently, we have internally selected 3 focal points to cover the entire country. The responsibilities of these three are to better coordinate members at the local level, to organize and coordinate activities in their communities based on the local needs and to help with the dissemination of the Network in order to recruit more members.
