Zemus is a tool that allows to develop :
- activities that strengthen cooperation and networking between organizations;
- experimentation and/or implementation of innovative practices in the fields of education, training and youth;
- activities which facilitate the recognition and validation of knowledge, skills and competences acquired through formal, non-formal or informal learning; cooperation activities between regional authorities in order to promote the development of education, training and youth systems and their integration into local and regional development actions;
In doing so, we believe that Zemus can contribute to bringing the different organisations of the ALF Network closer together.
The ALF Network reinforce intercultural relations and promote dialogue between organisations from different countries. With Zemus, we would like to contribute to building bridges between cultures and countries.
