General Information
SAMAR Media (corporate name: ZSCJ Media Limited) is a Limited Liability Company registered in Cyprus. It mainly operates from Lebanon and covers the whole MENA region. SAMAR Media is headed by Ziyad Clot and Jana Jabbour. Its staff includes 4 employees working from Beyrouth, Cairo and Paris and a network of free-lancers throughout the MENA region. Its yearly budget is within the range of 100,000/150,000 EUR and is generated by sponsorship revenues, grants and donations.  SAMAR’s most recent web programs “Me & My country, 5 years into the Arab uprisings”, “Rap Generation: the Beat of the Street” and “Arabic Dialects” have generated more than 1,5 million views since the start of the year 2016. SAMAR Media often partners with other media outlets, which relay its web programs to wide audiences worldwide. It has worked with international news websites such as The Guardian, France 24, El Pais, The Christian Science Monitor, Jaddaliya etc. SAMAR also coordinates on a project-basis with local actors (NGOs, universities, local institutions) to organize on the ground events such as workshops, conferences or debates on both sides of the Mediterranean.
Mission and Objectives

SAMAR is a web media organization dedicated to the Arab world. It produces and broadcasts videos on the internet in Arabic, English and French and aims to make knowledge, arts and culture available to the widest audience. SAMAR’s main editorial goal is to address the realities and underlying dynamics which are reshaping the Arab region, rather than to cover its most sensational stories. SAMAR also promotes a more positive image of the Arab region and its people through inspiring individuals and innovative projects. SAMAR shares this aspiration with the widest number in the MENA region: SAMAR also finally offers to its followers the opportunity to share their video production and picks with its growing online community.

Main Projects / Activities

Since 2012, SAMAR Media has produced and broadcast more than 200 videos as part of the following web programs:
Tahrir, my revolution, The Cartoonists of the Arab world, The Arab Summer, This is Palestine, Turkey and the Arab World, The New Arab media, The Lebanese of West Africa, Me and my Country: 5 Years into the Arab Uprisings, Rap Generation: The Beat of the street, Arabic Dialects.
These web video series have generated more than 3 million views on the Internet.
SAMAR also regularly organizes public screenings of these series. In June 2016, SAMAR Media also held a conference and a concert at the Villa Méditerranée in Marseilles on the theme « Exile & Migrations in the Mediterranean ». This public event featured musicians and Spoken Words artists from the Arab region and experts of migration issues.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

SAMAR’s media coverage follows a ‘Slow Media’ approach and its video production emphasises the positive energies and creativity of the Arab world and its diaspora. With an ambition to strengthen intercultural dialogue throughout the Mediterranean, SAMAR hopes to develop a synergy with Anna Lindh’s network members in order to shed light on the potential of Mediterranean societies and contribute positively to the many challenges faced in this region.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Pan-Arab editorial approach of SAMAR Media led us to work on many projects in and outside the MENA region. We are aware that many challenges Arab countries face today (migrations, security, environment etc.) are shared throughout the Mediterranean zone. However, the perception of these challenges and the way they are addressed often tend to vary from one side of the Mediterranean to the other. Developing partnerships around the Mediterranean with ALF network members will allow SAMAR to cover these challenges through the lens of a regional perspective. Thus, we hope to multiply in the future events that embody a multicultural vision of leading issues related to the Mediterranean region. Joining the ALF Network is an important step towards this ambition.

General Information
Samusocial International (SSI) is registered under the French law of associations since 1998. It is governed by a Board of Directors (11 members), has presently 8 staff employed and works with 14 local Samusocial partner organisations (CSO). Its 2014 budget is of 1.814.578 EUR and main sources of funding are: French Agency for Development, European Union, Monaco cooperation, Sanofi Foundation, Total Foundation. Its modalities of action are to provide general support, grants and trainings to Samusocial local organizations of our network that are active to protect people victims of social exclusion. We also conduct in depth research as well as capitalize best practices in order to build appropriate responses to social exclusion. Finally we advocate and communicate our knowledge and know-how to a wide audience through conference talks, paper publications, trainings and university courses.
Mission and Objectives

Its mission, as per its statutes, is to use all possible public information and training programs, in all world cities where problems linked to social exclusion arise (including problems of shelter, food, access to care, psychological suffering and any other consequence of rejection and the breakdown of human, economic and social links), to create, promote and support arrangements similar to those operated by samusocial de Paris and which meet the criteria set out in the objectives and charter of Samusocial International, and to perform directly or indirectly related tasks. Agreements, exchanges of all types and training arrangements shall be established. The Association’s objectives shall also include collecting funds to support Samusocial organisations, in accordance with the spirit of samusocialdeParis and, in the same conditions, creating, supporting and assisting the action, research and special interests of Samusocial organisations overseas. Samusocial International shall also appraise, evaluate and guarantees the minimum quality criteria that all bodies going by the name of "Samusocial " must abide.

Main Projects / Activities

The current strategic phase (2013-2015) is to build upon its 15th anniversary to raise the organisation’s visibility in terms of expertise and know-how, and continue to develop innovative responses to social exclusion.
The main activities are:
Objective 1. To promote and deepen the Samusocial method:
• To ensure a quality offer of technical assistance and trainings to local Samusocials and other stakeholders aiming at setting up Samusocial in their city (trainings on Samusocial method, on keys of comprehension of phenomenon of social exclusion and psychopathology of marginalised people/ inter Samusocial exchange of experiences/ Annual coordination meetings);
• To improve production and publication capacities of training tools, methodological guides and technical resources (register and compile existing documentation to be published on online resources centre of SSI; etc.);
• To draft position papers and to participate to international/regional/national conferences on the issues of social exclusion to share SSI’s experiences and tools;
• To develop a pool of external experts for trainings;
• To ensure and develop academic teachings in order to transfer know-how of SSI and its local partners’ experiences.
Objective 2. To develop and promote local responses of local Samusocials
• To contribute to functioning of local Samusocials by technical assistance provided to ensure good governance of the local NGOs; in some Samusocials, SSI mandates an expatriate director or volunteer to ensure daily management and monitoring of the activities;
• To ensure regular steering and monitoring of local Samusocials by field support missions conducted at least once/year by SSI staff;
• To strengthen information systems on activities and beneficiaries of each local Samusocial by implementing a standardised database that will ensure a better knowledge of socio-demographical trends of targeted populations and thus feed targeted advocacy and awareness raising activities;
• To promote innovative actions developed by local Samusocials by accompanying them in the capitalisation process; for example the Samusocial Casablanca aims to become national training and resources center for newly created Samusocials in each big city of Morocco.
• To support implementation of quality processes within each Samusocial in terms of HR policy, procurement, accounting, and resources mobilisation.
Objective 3. To accompany the development of new Samusocials
• Elaborate feasibility and exploratory mission kits and constitute a pool of experts to conduct these missions and be able to negotiate with local and central authorities the opening of new project ;
• Develop a pool of financial and non financial resources in order to implement these missions and ensure funding for the launch of these new projects

General Information
Sextant et plus est une association à but non lucratif située à la Friche La Belle de Mai à Marseille. Son équipe est composée de 7 personnes en charge des projets, de la médiation et des actions éducatives, du développement, de l'administration, de la communication et relations publiques. La structure est financée par le secteur public (Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication (DRAC), le Conseil Général des Bouches du Rhône, la Région Provence Alpes Côtes d'Azur, la ville de Marseille etc), et privé (entreprises partenaires de projets par des apports en mécénat). En 2011, environ 60% de son budget global provenait de ressources privées et on chiffre d'affaire était de 365 873 Euros. Les modalités d'action de l'association vont de la conception et mise en oeuvre d'expositions et de projets d'art contemporain en France et à l'international à la publication de catalogues d'artistes en passant par le conseil et consulting auprès d'organismes privés ou publics ou la mise en oeuvre de politiques envers les publics, de projets éducatifs et la conception d'outils de médiation. Aujourd'hui Sextant et plus est l'une des structures les plus dynamique en région PACA dans le domaine de l'art contemporain. Elle est force de proposition au sujet de politiques publiques dans le secteur. Ses partenaires dépendent des projets mis en oeuvre. Actuellement, Sextant et plus est responsable de 4 ateliers de l'Euro-Méditerrannée Marseille Provence 2013 Capitale Européenne de la Culture. Elle met en œuvre le service des publics de la Fondation Van Gogh en Arles par ex.
Mission and Objectives

L'association Sextant et plus a pour but :
La création, le développement, la gestion et la promotion des arts sous toutes ses formes en France et à l'étranger.

Main Projects / Activities

Du local à l'international, de la sphère publique au secteur privé, l'association étend
son activité à travers différents types de projets :
- La Collection : un projet permanent qui vise à soutenir et diffuser le travail
d'artistes de la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
Productions et co-productions d’expositions, location et vente d’oeuvres, espaces
de stockage et de conservation, résidences, éditions monographiques... sont autant
d'outils et de projets mis en oeuvre à des fins de promotion des artistes que nous
soutenons.
- Les expositions : des projets à dimension internationale.
Pour Sextant et plus, il s'agit de produire des expositions monographiques ou
collectives d'artistes issus de la scène internationale, souvent peu montrés en
France, et présentées sur une période de 2 à 3 mois à la Friche Belle de Mai.
- L'offre aux publics : visites et plus...
À l'occasion des événements qu'elle produit, l'association Sextant et plus conçoit et
propose des actions éducatives et des supports de médiation pour le public. Visites
commentées, audioguides, dossiers pédagogiques, programmations et activités
jeunes publics, projets en milieu scolaire... offrent des clés utiles et précieuses à la
découverte de la création contemporaine.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Les informations concernant Sextant et plus seront relayées et actualisées régulièrement sur le site web Anna Lindh afin de garantir une recherche efficace des autres membres du réseau quant à des possibilités de partenariats.
Sextant utilisera largement les perspectives offertes par le réseau en se mettant en contact avec d'autres membres des deux rives de la méditerranée, dans la mesure du possible et selon la pertinence des projets développés. L'association serait également heureuse de participer aux différents événements organisés par la Fondation au niveau national afin d’œuvrer et de promouvoir efficacement cette logique d'échange chère à Anna Lindh.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Sextant et plus partage et met en oeuvre les valeurs de la Fondation Anna Lindh au quotidien, par l’intermédiaire de ses divers projets, inscris dans une logique euro-méditerranéenne. Promotion de la diversité culturelle, de l'égalité des chances, transmission du savoir et échanges interculturels sont au cœur des missions de l'association.
Ainsi nous développons des résidences d'artistes en France et à l'étranger (Projet La Cité des Curiosités dans les quartiers nords de Marseille ou Projet Trankat Street à Tétouan au Maroc par ex) qui incluent de larges volets médiation et formation en direction des jeunes issus de quartiers défavorisés ou de milieux sensibles. Par ses divers projets, comme Jeunes Curateurs ou Nouveaux Collectionneurs, Sextant et plus s'attache à promouvoir l'éducation artistique auprès d'un large public, majoritairement jeune et souvent éloigné de l'accès aux ressources artistiques. Intégrer le réseau Anna Lindh est un élément de développement logique pour notre association, en accord avec les objectifs et résultats des différents projets mis en œuvre. En effet, le réseau Anna Lindh par son étendu et la qualité de ses membres, offre une extraordinaire plateforme de visibilité et de promotion de nos projets tout en nous permettant de développer de nouvelles pistes de partenariats.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The presence of our association in the Middle East and its emphasis on cultural dialogue will be an important basis that will contribute to the success of the ALF Network.

In the realisation of the projects that we are planning, a supporting platform such as the ALF Network can be an important part of our networking effort.
