General Information

Cineuropa est un portail d'information en ligne qui fait la promotion du cinéma et de la culture dans le monde entier. Le site est mis à jour quotidiennement en quatre langues (anglais, français, italien et espagnol) et est spécialement conçu pour un public plus large et des lecteurs de l'industrie. Plusieurs collaborations avec des festivals de films, des institutions culturelles, des fonds de films et des programmes de formation ont été mises en place. Après avoir été un site purement cinématographique, Cineuropa a depuis étendu son champ de couverture en réalisant plusieurs analyses sur l'état de la culture en Europe et dans les pays tiers. Cineuropa offre une vaste sélection de contenus: reportages, focus pays, making-of, bases de données de films et de sociétés, analyse de scénarios et cours de formation en ligne, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns. Au cours des dernières années, Cineuropa a établi de nombreux partenariats avec des organisations axées sur des activités non européennes, afin d'élargir sa gamme d'industries de l'information et de soutien qui nécessitent une attention européenne. De 2001 à 2014, Cineuropa a cogéré le programme Euromed Audiovisuel de l'Union européenne, une action de coopération avec les pays du sud de la Méditerranée. En 2014, Cineuropa a organisé le premier festival du film européen à Alger, offrant une sélection de 26 films et en organisant plusieurs tables rondes et conférences. Cineuropa organise régulièrement des conférences et des formations au sein des plus prestigieux festivals du monde, comme Cannes, Venise ou Berlin. Cineuropa a réalisé plusieurs études pour différents clients: rédaction du business plan du FESPACO, étude sur le statut de l'artiste en Afrique... Depuis 2019, Cineuropa gère un projet de support pour l'organisation de festivals organisés par les délégations de l'Union européenne dans le monde.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The Close-Up essence of inclusiveness & diversity is a great example of how these values could serve the communities we are working with, coming from different countries, cultures, and religions. We believe these values are highly important to promote these days. Our organization inspires and promotes synergies between individual artists and organizations from different cultural backgrounds. We believe that this is essential for the growth of an open and pluralist society.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Close-Up objectives are aligned with the ALF objectives, we would like to take part in the ALF Network in order to strengthen together with other great organizations the values we believe in and contribute to diversity, inclusiveness, and support to minorities, youth, and women. Working with incredibly talented and emerging filmmakers from a different culture is one of the most precious and essential ways to maintain our cultural awareness and ensure our future existence. We will not accept the narrow hopeless path that politicians offer. We've witnessed our ability to resist prejudice and ignorance by creating powerful documentaries within our community of filmmakers, who are reminding us all about our common values and the strength of an inclusive society. One that challenges itself to cross boundaries and create a constructive and meaningful dialog with those that politicians would like us to believe are our enemies. After 12 years working together as partners we are established as an international NGO in Belgium, which enables us to work in an open and pluralist environment that respects the diversity of our filmmaker's nationality as well as the international nature of our organization's management. Since 2006 we have supported more than 200 filmmakers and created more than 40 completed films, we have persevered and upheld a critical role as a bridge and meeting point for filmmakers, creating a community of documentary filmmakers who are committed to dialogue and understanding. As a result, the program has been supporting and promoting cultural exchanges between the participating countries, by underlining both common values and inherent cultural diversity. We believe that our experience can contribute to the ALF Network.

Collaboration entre le réseau belge et le réseau irlandais

Image
Retour en images notre la collaboration entre les réseaux irlandais et belge.

Depuis plus de 20 ans, la Compagnie des Nouveaux Disparus organise chaque année un festival d’atelier théâtre à destination des jeunes : Le Festival Mimouna. Cette année c’est l’association Les Amis de l’Etincelle qui a remporté le prix coup de cœur du Jury, un échange pédagogique en Europe. Grâce à la Fondation Anna Lindh, les jeunes ont pu partir à Cork, dans l’association Cloyne Diocesan Youth Services représentée par Nadia Moussed, co-cheffe de file du réseau irlandais.

Du 25 au 29 mai 2022, Tasnime, Ouafae, Rama, Nisrine, Sara, Dounia, Khalil, Mamadou et Amine se sont envolé·es pour le sud de l’Irlande, accompagné·es de Stéphane leur coordinateur et de Mariem et Eva membres de la Compagnie des Nouveaux Disparus. Nos comédien·nes en herbe ont présenté leur pièce de théâtre intitulée Rivage devant deux groupes de jeunes irlandais·es différent·es : Clashmore/Kinsalebeg Foróige et TVG Traveller Visibility Group. Ce spectacle ils et elles l’ont joué en anglais, véritable challenge pour elles·eux qui n’avaient presque jamais pratiqué la langue de Shakespeare. Défi relevé ! Les deux différents publics étaient sous le charme et ont bien ri ! Véritable moment de partage, les jeunes ont pu échanger sur leur différentes cultures et leurs différents modes de vie.

Entre les répétitions encadrées par Mariem et les représentations publiques, nous avons tout de même eu le temps de visiter la ville de Youghal et de Cork. Par la suite, les jeunes ont eu la chance de participer à un workshop dans la galerie Glucksmann où ils et elles ont appris à utiliser l’art comme outil de dialogue avec le LGBTI+ UP Cork youth group.

En bref, cet échange était une magnifique aventure humaine et artistique !

General Information
Le Comité de Vigialnce pour la Démocratie en Tunisie (CVDT) est une asbl qui a été créée en 2011 suite à la révolution tunisienne. Depuis sa création,le CVDT fonctionne grace aux bénévolats de ses fondateurs et des memebres du conseil d'administration. Au conseil d'administration nous sommes aux nombre de septs (présidente, trésoier, secretaire, chargé de relation avec les jeunes, chargé de relations avec la société civile, chargés de projets, et un administrateur). Grace a ses membres sympatiants (+ 200) et partenaires, le CVDT a réussi depuis 2011 a réaliser plusieurs projets. Nos prinsipaux subsidiants et aprtenaires sont : Wallonie Bruxelles Internationale (WBI) et la Fédération Wallonie Bruxlles (FWB). Les partenaires sutiennent des projets ponctuels et a court terme, c'est ppour cette raison que le CVDT n'a jamais eu de budget annuel fixe, maisa toujours cherché des financements ponctuels pour chaque projets. Nos projets sont principalement des actions pour pormouvoir la démocratie dans ses trois aspects : politique,économique et social. Cela passe par des conférences-débat; des colloques, des ateliers dans les différents forum sociaux mondiaux , des mission d'observation des éléctions, les printemps culturel tunisiens en Belgique....
Mission and Objectives

Le 17 décembre 2010 commençait en Tunisie un mouvement populaire de grande envergure. Il allait, en moins d’un mois, aboutir à la chute de la dictature. C’est dans la foulée de cette révolution qu’est né le Comité de Vigilance pour la Démocratie en Tunisie. L’objectif principal fixé fut d’apporter au peuple tunisien, à partir de la Belgique, toute la solidarité possible et de l’accompagner dans la réalisation de ses aspirations fondamentales : indépendance nationale, liberté et justice sociale. L’association s’est voulue ouverte à toutes les personnes, sans distinction de nationalité ou d’option philosophique qui partagent l’objectif poursuivi. Concrètement, le CVDT a pour but de défendre et de promouvoir, en Tunisie et partout dans le monde, la démocratie dans ses trois aspects fondamentaux : politique ; économique et social. Pour ce faire, le comité entend : Promouvoir l’éducation populaire, ainsi que de mener des actions de tous ordres en vue de l’émergence du pouvoir des citoyens sur tous les aspects de la vie politique, économique, sociale et culturelle dans l’ensemble du monde. Accomplir tous les actes se rapportant directement ou indirectement à son objet. Il peut , par exemple, prêter son concours ou s’intéresser à toute activité similaire à son but.

Main Projects / Activities

Plusieurs projets en été effectués visant à apporter au peuple tunisien, à partir de la Belgique, toute la solidarité possible dans la réalisation de ses aspirations fondamentales : indépendance nationale, liberté et justice sociale. A titre d’exemple, je peux vous citer la mission « un avion de soutien et de solidarité pour le peuple tunisien » en 2015 et 2017 qui était une réaction à l’avis négatif donné par le ministère des affaires étrangères belges déconseillant le voyage en Tunisie  
https://www.cvdtunisie.org/un-voyage-de-solidarite-avec-la-tunisie-du-16...
La réalisation de la première et deuxième édition du Printemps Culturel Tunisien en Belgique. Cette action est pluridimensionnelle, elle vise la lutte contre les phénomènes xénophobes, la promotion de l’interculturalisme, et la création d’une synergie entre les artistes tunisiens et belges.
https://www.cvdtunisie.org/2eme-edition-du-printemps-culturel-tunisien-e...
En partenariat avec plusieurs membres de la société civile belge, le CVDT a déjà participé activement à une mission d’observation des élections pour la création de l’Assemblée constituante octobre 2011 ; aux élections législatives et présidentielle tunisienne de 2014 ;  aux élections municipales tunisiennes de mai 2018 ; et aux élections communales et provinciales en Belgique en octobre 2018

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Le Comité de Vigilance pour la Démocratie en Tunisie œuvre pour promouvoir les valeurs démocratiques en Tunisie et ce, en utilisant la culture comme levier pour transmettre aux jeunes, femmes et tous citoyens des régions rurales, des connaissances et des clés de lectures, les aidants à devenir les acteurs de changement de leur avenir. C'est en collaboration avec plusieurs associations connaissant bien les situations socio-économiques des régions rurales que nous souhaitons développer des projets culturels aidants les habitants à exercer une vraie citoyenneté et à prendre part des débats politique, économique et sociale. Sortir ces citoyens de l'oubli et les former pour les aider à contribuer activement dans la construction d'un pays démocratique est l'objectif que nous souhaitons realiser en Tunisie.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Le Comité de Vigilance pour la Démocratie en Tunisie est une petite association avec des grand défis. Nous avons un capital humain formé, motivé et porteur de grandes valeurs. La fondation Anna Lindh est un partenaire de grande qualité car nous partageons les mêmes valeurs et il nous semble important de pouvoir s’unir pour former une force d’action sur le terrain mais également une force de persuasion quand il s’agit de défendre des principes fondamentaux.
