How can you contribute to the Network in your country?:
By offering collaborative events and by attracting other organisations to collaborate in organising further events
Why do you want to join the ALF Network?:
I support the mission and appreciate the history of ALF Network, and I met other members and organisations invovled in ALF Network by attending their events, e.g. Inter-Belief Dialogue in Limerick, Ireland in February 2016.
I also hope that Women's Ministries Initiative can benefit from broadening its network and exploring the possibilities of partnership with other member-organisations and individuals.
By organising and co-organising public events on our own and in collaboration withother members of the Network
In order to expand our collaboration with other organisations who are promoting education and share similar values to our own
