Online networking sessions: Albania-Luxembourg-Lebanon-Morocco-Denmark

online session

The online networking sessions between Albania-Luxembourg-Lebanon-Morocco and Denmark brought together about 50 network members from all partner countries to discuss common challenges and generate ideas for cooperation.

The sessions took place on December 18 and 20 and were organised by the 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 sessions was to build bridges for cooperation between members of the ALF network from the North and South Mediterranean.

The hearings found that challenges facing members across countries are similar and this is the first step to forming synergies and joint action among them.

The major thematic areas identified from both sessions related to youth engagement and participation, gender equality/gender-based violence, diversity and human rights, polarisation and hateful language, and media education.

Following the sessions, the Head of the Network in Albania launched a call for proposals that participating members can apply and address some of the common challenges identified.

More projects are planned in 2016, in Europe as well as in neighbouring countries including Morocco, Turkey, Armenia, and Ukraine among others. The projects planned involve the integration of migrants in Europe through social entrepreneurship, giving professionals and students in the field of integration the opportunity to experience themselves and integration procedure in a new culture, and intercultural communication in borderlands and their role for the preservation of peace.

Donner vie à un projet

2e édition du Project Design Forum pour le Luxembourg et la Grande Région

Une quarantaine de personnes ont participés à la deuxième édition du « Project Design Forum pour le Luxembourg et la Grande Région » qui a eu lieu le samedi 8 juillet au Centre Culturel de Rencontre Abbaye de Neumünster (Quartier Grund).

Le Project Design Forum donne aux citoyens, aux associations et à d’autres organisations la possibilité de concevoir conjointement des projets et de collaborer à des demandes de projets en vue de recevoir un financement, principalement dans le cadre de programmes de l’Union européenne. Le forum permet ainsi de présenter, de développer et d’approfondir des idées de projets, de rejoindre d’autres projets et de recevoir un soutien direct des points de contact des différents programmes communautaires, sans qu’il y ait pour autant une « obligation de résultat ».

Etaient représentés les programmes Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV), Erasmus+, Europe créative, Interreg Grande Région, Interreg North-West Europe et Interreg Europe ainsi que la Anna Lindh Foundation. Pour les organisateurs, c’était l’occasion de présenter les possibilités de financement qu’offrent les six programmes communautaires aux citoyennes et citoyens européens. Des présentations, des tables thématiques et des tables « programmes » ainsi que des brochures et des flyers informaient sur les modalités d’un tel projet citoyen. Les présentations et les discussions étaient en anglais et en français mais des explications étaient aussi données en luxembourgeois et en allemand.

L’évènement se clôturait à l’heure de midi par un repas léger et des boissons ce qui permettait de poursuivre les échanges dans un cadre informel et convivial. Une 3e édition est prévue pour l’automne 2023.

General Information

Radio ARA is an independent, non-commercial radio station that has been operating in Luxembourg as a community radio station since 1992, initially serving alternative communities such as environmental, feminist and LBGQ groups, as well as specific music communities. Radio ARA consists of three not for profit organisations, one of which is ARA International Community Radio asbl.

Mission and Objectives

Access to information without language barriers is essential for everyone, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine has shown us that no small community should be forgotten. There are volunteers who currently work on our multilingual show project and we have identified others who are willing to work with us, alongside Ryse and Passerell asbl on this new Podcast Project. We will create an Outreach Platform where we host small 3.5-minute podcasts in different languages. Each podcast offers bitesize accurate information that will help vulnerable people understand and navigate the situation they find themselves in and where they are in the legal process. We believe the access to accurate information will alleviate much of the stress and misunderstanding that occurs, in this way alleviating potential tensions that may arise for society. Much of the development within Radio ARA in the past years has been due to changes in Luxembourg as a society, and it is important to recognise the support we have received from Oeuvre and the important work we have achieved since the first the Salaam Show, then through the addition of the multilingual shows is extremely important and valued by many in Luxembourg. Our integration projects have been pivotal in stabilising and solidifying Radio ARA’s role as a community radio for all in Luxembourg.

The Association aims to offer a platform for independent artists to share their creations in an environment free from market demands, and economic pressures. AACE wishes to reinforce the message of peace that has been extended over the years through the Arabic culture. The Association has been founded by a group of artists who believe that art is the tool to achieve harmony and growth within this mélange of linguistic and artistic backgrounds. The Arabic Association invites pioneers to perform and offer their original creations through its program ‘101 Arabian Nights’. The program is sponsored by the Oeuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte (mateneen call for projects). The Association has been endowed a per annum sum estimated to be € 160,000

Main Projects / Activities

The Association is an organization dedicated to creating positive and inclusive cultural collaborations among citizens of Luxembourg. AACE propagates coexistence, tolerance and inclusion through art and culture.  The Association, through its program ‘101 Arabian Nights’, offers concerts, exhibitions, music shows, and film screenings to showcase the grandeur of Arabic art. and how it can bring people together. These artistic and cultural creations show the world that our strength comes from our uniqueness and individuality. The Association offers its cultural nights to create a fertile base that brings Arab communities in Europe closer to members of other cultures, and art enthusiasts. 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Luxembourg is a migrant population with, foreigners coming from 170 nationalities. The multitude of cultures is exhilarating and overwhelming. It is the role of the Arabic Association to open up doors to the uniqueness and richness of Arab cultures to this uniquely diverse population. Culture defines each society, and if put to adequate use, culture can help us improve how we interact, make decisions and plan for a future that binds us further together. Culture in Luxembourg brings people to play different parts in the same event, they can be artists, audience, volunteers, or investors. Art and culture in Luxembourg can help people overcome barriers, and create bonds that are beneficial both on the personal, as well as on the societal levels. Culture is a catalyst for celebrating and self-esteem, and preserving one’s identity, thus enhancing the unique diversity of the social composition of Luxembourg.  

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

When creating the Arabic Association for Cultural Exchange, founding members shared the ambition of expanding its activities beyond the borders of Luxembourg. They wished to develop partnerships with well-established cultural and artistic networks in, and out of Europe. Pairing with like-minded organizations globally allows us a chance to confirm, through cultural and artistic events, that the love of art transcends all linguistic, cultural, and political barriers. Adding an international dimension to the Association through partnership with the Anna Lindh Foundation, will help us spread the uniqueness of Arabic art, and embrace other cultures as our own. It is our aim to exchange our world-class quality of art, in a well-established global artistic environment. Exchange of artists, and a multitude of art creations is a dream come true. It will help the Arabic Association, as well as the Foundation to mainstream the consciousness and the diversity of the public everywhere.
