Mission and vision
The mission of the Anna Lindh Network in the Netherlands is to support and connect civil society organisations and representatives in the Netherlands involved in intercultural dialogue and promoting mutual understanding between communities in the Euro-Mediterranean region. We believe that working together in this network and sharing experiences and resources will contribute to our common goal of building an inclusive and resilient EuroMediterranean civil society.
Network members and coordinator
The Anna Lindh Foundation Network in the Netherlands consists of over 60 civil society organizations. Their main fields of interest and activities are International cultural relations, Youth, Arts, Democracy and Human Rights. In the last week of June, 2024, network members elected the Stichting Arab-West Foundation as the Head of Network, https://www.arabwestfoundation.com/home
Activities
In 2024-2025, the main task is to revitalize the network, build on the thematic priorities the previous Head of Network identified, focus on increasing youth involvement, identify peace builders that can contribute to an end of the current Israeli-Palestinian war and how network members can contribute to peace building. To this end, various activities will be organized, such as providing information via a newsletter and LinkedIn group, regular physical network meetings, social events and possibly setting up projects or capacity building activities.

New Women Connectorsaims to raise awareness through organized platforms and feature the voices of refugee and migrant role models who are succeeding in life despite different challenges that come with integrating in a European city. New Women Connectors aims to create policy and perspective shifts surrounding the stereotypes that refugee and migrants, especially women, face in Europe today. The primary objective of the organization is to facilitate an open platform for sharing refugee and migrant voices, to come together and engage in individual and group everyday challenges refugees and migrants face, such as integration, participation in labor market, representation in media and education. NWC focuses on ensuring that the voices of migrant and refugees are heard and taken into account. We plan to translate those voices into policy recommendations to ensure meaningful participation of newcomers into European society. The lived experiences and skills of newcomers can lead to proposing collaborative and feasible solutions for policy platforms. It will demonstrate how the inclusion of refugee and migrant voices and listening can lead to positive societal cohesion and better integration.
A movement striving for mainstreaming the unheard voices of migrant and refugee women living across Europe. New Women Connectors is a perspective-shift to the refugee agenda and advocates inclusion rather than integration as a policy choice. The movement also helps newcomer refugee women to lift their spirits to access to opportunities. Our Mission: New Women Connectors (NWC) is an open platform that strives to connect newcomers and migrants, with a strong focus on women, and seeks to amplify the voices of those who often feel voiceless. Envisioned, created, and led by migrant refugee women, NWC amplifies these Voices, focuses on ensuring all voices are heard and responded to, so that migrants/refugees can have access to meaningful participation; and believes the exchange of dialogue and listening to one another can be facilitated. As a result, these efforts will lead to collaborative solutions. NWC aims to create policy and perspective shifts surrounding the stereotypes that refugees and migrants, especially women, face in Europe. NWC recognizes the need for social justice in Europe and sets out a vision for improving inclusion and social justice for all, in Europe.
Activities: (i) A comprehensive mapping of diverse Women refugee/migrant-led organizations acrossEurope (ii) Women Migrant led platform to beestablished and serves as a segment for refugee/migrant-led organizations in Europe to exchange experiences and enhance collaboration. (iii) A road map of future activitiesfor a two years’ period (iv) An outcomes paper with policy proposals to improve and provide women focus migration policy in Europe.
We propose a unique model of get-togethers focusing on female voices in cities: working title i.e. Amsterdam for Her -Barcelona for Her, Bamberg for Her. As NWC is a platform to connect newcomers and migrants with host communities, with a strong focus on women, it seeks to amplify the voices of those who often feel voiceless. As a result, these efforts will lead to collaborative solutions to urgent matters faced by migrant women in European cities. We will hold at least FIVE big get-together events in different decisive European cities like Amsterdam forHer,Nijmegen ForHer(Netherlands), Bamberg ForHer(Germany), Barcelona ForHer (Spain), Bergamo ForHer (Italy), Lisbon forHer (Portugal), so on. This will create a two-fold impact; the platform that we will provide will not only create an open and democratic image of the city, it will also connect the city with its disconnected communities. We follow the signature NWC "voice" model where at each get-together, we select three "voices" who share their journey of integration in Europe and inspire others to take the next step in their lives. These cities are overlooked in providing open spaces for progressive debates around the inclusion of migrants and refugees, females in particular. Through our network of networks, we aim to organize get-togethers, an evening or afternoon to highlight voices of migrants and refugees and link them to the city natives and other communities. We want to connect these "voices" and their stories will provide a reality check and demonstrate how undemocratic values can overlook potential and talent and hinder meaningful integration.
A major challenge in refugee and migrant self-representation at the European level is the lack of opportunity for refugee-led and migrant-led organizations, networks and advocates to come together and collaborate on areas of shared concern. Advocating effectively in national and regional dialogue requires the resources to travel and time to develop collective policy positions as well as access to advocacy opportunities. Effective refugee-led and migrant-led advocacy can occur only when attention is paid to the barriers of these self-led organizations, networks and advocates confront in coming together, including limited mobility and motility due to legal status, lack of access to resources and practical pressures, for example, most refugee/migrant-led networks are leading these networks on a voluntary basis and face a lot of challenges to get support and resources for their work. This Network will help to share these challenges and showcases the benefit of meaningful inclusion of refugees and migrants while also increasing the visibility of refugee/migrant-led organisations at the EU level which will allow these groups to build sustainable partnerships with national and European stakeholders.

Noticias, a Dutch non-profit media organisation. Noticias provides news and background information about Latin America in the Netherlands. Moreover we publish about the lives of
Latin American migrants in the Netherlands and Europe.
Amongst other since 2010 we have been monitoring and reporting on the GFMD (Global Forum for Migration and Development) and organized media workshops for migrants. In 2013 we started with a project called 'Picturing Migration'. This project is an initiative that links migrants' engagement in the development of their societies of origin and their daily lives in the Netherlands. In addition, it encourages migrants to produce their own media. We produce video's, blogs and do research on the social media use of migrant organizations. All our productions are published on our project website www.laruta.nu/migratie
We can contribute to the network with our productions and with our knowledge and experience with media, making videos, writing articles and doing research on migration related issues.
As member of the ALF network we would like to contribute with our productions to the promotion of intercultural dialogue across Europe, to learn from the other members and possibly form new partnerships within Europe.

PAX emerged from a partnership between the two largest peace movements in the Netherlands: IKV Foundation (founded in 1966) and Pax Christi (founded in 1948)
IKV Pax Christi is an international movement for peace and reconciliation, non-violence and human rights which has its roots in the catholic church. Pax Christi Netherlands was established in 1948 and counts nearly 10.000 members who give voice to grassroots aspirations for peace and justice. IKV Pax Christi has a special commitment to the victims of violence, peace groups, parties in conflict looking for peace and reconciliation and socially committed religious leaders. Since its foundation, IKV Pax Christi has been helping to find ways out of cycles of violence by bringing together opposing parties. It does so by expressing solidarity through concrete action. IKV Pax Christi has special consultative status at the United Nations in New York and Vienna, the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, the Council of Europe in Strasbourg and UNESCO in Paris. PAX works together with committed citizens and organisations to protect civilians against acts of war, curb armed violence and foster just and peaceful societies across the globe.
PAX works in countries such as Bosnia Herzegovina, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Israel, Kosovo, Lebanon, Palestine, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Ukraine. Our core strength is in linking our work in these countries to our thematic work at local, national and international levels. Our extensive knowledge of local needs and the results of our in-depth research combine as input for our lobby activities. In the Netherlands, and at European and international level, PAX mobilises moral, political and financial support for peace efforts in conflict areas. Our presence in The Hague, Brussels and New York facilitates our lobby activities. At the same time we reach out to an increasing number of Dutch people. A growing number of local support groups (more than 70) successfully organise various events to encourage all ages to become more engaged in peace activities in the Netherlands. In this way, PAX triggers the public to discuss the use of drones in conflict areas, sign a petition for nuclear disarmament or visit a peace concert for example.
