Online Networking Sessions between Albania-Luxembourg-Lebanon-Morocco and Denmark, gathered around 50 network members from all the countries to discuss about the joint challenges they face and to generate ideas for cooperation in addressing those challenges.

The online networking sessions that took place on December 18th and December 20th, were organized by Albanian Media Institute (HoN in Albania), in partnership with Our Common Future (HoN Luxembourg), Agir ensemble (HoN Morocco) and Lebanese National Commission for UNESCO (HoN Lebanon).

The purpose of these online networking sessions was to build bridges for cooperation between ALF network members from the North and the South of Mediterranean.

The networking sessions revealed that the challenges that the members face in all the countries are more similar than different, and that is the first step to having synergies and joint actions between them.

Main thematic areas that were identified from both sessions were related to youth engagement and participation, gender equality/gender based violence, diversity and human rights, polarization and hate speech, as well as Media and Information Literacy.

Following the sessions, the Head of the Network in Albania will launch a call for proposals for the participating members to apply and address some of the common challenges identified.
