We want to join the ALF Network Italy in order to contribute to the general mission of ALF by offering our skills and our experience in the field of international cooperation, in particular in the countries of the Southern Mediterranean. Furthermore, Assadakah has been working in projects that aim to support the integration of immigrants in the Italian community. And also, Assadakah works to support the intercultural exchange with Arab countries.
The reason why we want to join the ALF network is because we have been working in the field of the international cooperation for years. We would like to empower our networks in order to improve our experience and our skills through the mutual exchange with the ALF's members. Thus, we consider this platform an occasion to compare our approaches and our vision regarding the cooperation with the other members. At the same time, we want to offer our knowledge to the network in order to develop a global perspective of cooperation in the contemporary society.
