General Information

Through education, encounter, research and information services, The Rossing Center fosters improved relations between Jews, Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land, reaching some 8,000 people every year. The Center operates seven major programs - the Jerusalem Center for Jewish-Christian Relations, Educating for Change, Dialogue and Identity, Healing Hatred, ADAShA, The Open House in Ramle and Meeting Place – each of which has its own director and/or coordinator. Activities are overseen by the Executive Director and the Center has 16 paid staff members, 12 of whom hold full-time positions, and an annual budget of 1,200,000 Euro. The organization has received support from the US Embassy, the Church of Sweden, DVHL, Misereor, various family foundations, private donors, and more, and partners with the Ministry of Education, local municipalities, the TALI Education Fund, the National Office of Catholic Schools and other civil society organizations in Israel and Palestine.

Mission and Objectives

The Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue is a Jerusalem-based, non-profit organization that promotes an inclusive society for all religious, ethnic and national groups in Israel. Through education, encounter, research and information services, the Center fosters improved relations between Jews, Christians and Muslims. We believe that understanding, respect, justice and equality are the cornerstones of a better future for us all.

The objectives of the Rossing Center’s include:
-Contributing to the understanding and appreciation of the other’s religious/cultural/national narratives, traditions, beliefs, and practices;
- Combating prejudices and negative stereotypes;
- Creating and deepening relationships across religious lines despite differences and disagreement.

Main Projects / Activities

Rossing Center's seven programs include Educating for Change, which provides teachers with tools for managing and facilitating conflictual racism-related discussions in the classroom; Dialogue and Identity - a Jewish and Arab primary school-twinning program that promotes understanding, respect, and intercultural tolerance; JCJCR (the Jerusalem Center for Jewish-Christian Relations) that offers teachers, tour guides, and key stakeholders (such as IDF personnel) courses, study tours, seminars on Christian communities and local Jewish-Christian relations; Healing Hatred, an innovative model for inter-religious dialogue that equips professionals with tools and hands-on skills of spiritual counseling for healing trauma and fear; ADAShA, which provides inter-religious groups from overseas with a multi-faceted educational experience in Israel; Meeting Place, a partnership project with The Hebrew University of Jerusalem to promote an inclusive campus through study and dialogue groups held by Jewish, Christian and Muslim students; and the recently opened Open House in Ramle, a grassroots hub for interfaith, intercultural and inter-generational activity created, implemented and sustained by Ramle residents

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

First and foremost, the Rossing Center brings its 17 years of experience and the over 60,000 people impacted by our work to the Anna Lindh Network promoting intercultural dialogue. By engaging directly with government and institutional stakeholders, applying a multiplier effect by working with teachers, tour guides, and religious leaders who disseminate our message, and by applying our unique Healing Hatred methodology that enables participants to understand core spiritual and moral dilemmas at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and abandon the discourse of victimhood and fear, the Rossing Center brings a unique approach to conflict mitigation, shared society and coexistence. Following the alarming outbreak of violence in mixed Jewish-Arab cities in May 2021, our work has become all the more crucial and pressing. Now, more than ever, providing teachers with tools for managing and facilitating conflictual racism-related discussions in the classroom, organizing twinning events between Jewish and Arab schoolchildren to facilitate understanding, respect, and intercultural tolerance, and building relations between Israeli and Palestinian students on campus – are essential if we wish to address the root causes that have led to the recent shattering of relations between many Jews and Arabs in Israel.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

As a leading organization engaged in dialogue and improved relations between Jews, Muslims and Christians, we believe our goals to be very much aligned with those of the ALF. The Rossing Center would be honored to join the Anna Lindh Foundation Network, and sees it as an opportunity to expand partnerships with other civil society bodies both in Israel and in Europe, and as a means of raising funds for new and existing projects.

General Information

Tiro Association for Arts (TAA) is a non-governmental organization located in South Lebanon, registered under No.2633/ 2014. The Association was established to encourage the Southern local communities to further engage in arts and culture, outside of the existing political and religious settings. More specifically, TAA was founded upon the belief that these communities can express themselves through art, not only to reflect their identity but also to showcase through art the problems and the challenges of their respective communities and those of the Lebanese society at large. Presently, TAA has turned into avolunteer-based organization that brings together youth of different social, economic, cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds to create an alternative movement of social change through arts and culture. To increase its ability to spread culture and arts outside of the capital Beirut, TAA bought in 2017 a former school bus through donationsusing the Indigogo website. The old bus was converted into an itinerant cinema and theatre known now as the Peace Art Bus.The Bus travelled to marginalized villages and areas, especially in the South of Lebanon. Rich screening programs were shared with youth of diverse backgrounds who were invited to travel with TAA on a cultural journey. The Bus has facilitated discussions, and proposed films, concerts, storytelling and even food sharing. Theatre workshops and performances were held in, around, and inside the Bus to foster bonds between the communities. TAA implemented also a project, within the Peace Art Bus, entitled “Watch Lebanon in Mobile Cinema” respectively in 2018 and 2019, covering 24 villages and cities and targeting about 2,000 beneficiaries. In 2018, TAA succeeded to obtain a 3-year project entitled “Culture and Arts for Development and Social Change in the South of Lebanon” funded by Drosos Foundation implemented in Tyre and Nabatiyeh, for a total of 304,240 USD. Thanks to this project, TAA was able to implement festivals, training workshops for youth and children, and strengthen TAA organizational structure. TAA delivered 8 types of trainingcourses where 370 trainees were engaged. The training courses have had a significant impact on children aged between 7 and 12 years. They were introduced to diverse types of arts and became more open to communicate with children from other regions and religions. It also had an impact on youth (aged between 13 and 28). The trainees’ self-confidence and engagement in society increased, especially proven during their participation in TAA public performances.Above all, the project strengthened TAA organizational structure including better project management, communication,and festival organization, which was a real need to enable the Association build a stronger and more sustainable management capacities.

Mission and Objectives

TAA MISSION To mobilize youth and encourage them to explore creative self-expression through performing arts, develop critical life skills and freely express their opinions, hence becoming social change and decision makers, and contributing towards more cohesive communities.

General Information

WHO ARE WE?
S.O.S Emergency Aid Association is an international humanitarian aid organization established in Turkey that facilitates access to health services for populations affected by armed conflict, violence, natural disasters, disease, hunger, poverty and social exclusion. Our organization collaborates with partners and key stakeholders in implementing projects that facilitate access to primary and secondary health care services to respond to the medical needs of displaced people. S.O.S is an international association dedicated to meeting the health needs of vulnerable groups.
S.O.S, which intervenes in humanitarian crises from the closest point, builds the necessary infrastructures for long-term and sustainable health services and publishes international academic publications on human rights.

Mission and Objectives

What are we doing?
Due to its geography and current conditions, Turkey is at the center of humanitarian crises that erupted in the region. S.O.S provides protection and health services, builds infrastructure and advocates for the world's most vulnerable people in communities living in conflict zones, refugee camps and rural settlements without health care. However, as S.O.S, we provide psychological support and medical care to Syrian refugees in Turkey and struggle every day to touch the lives of people living at the borders. Health Needs The needs of all immigrant and refugee population, especially Syrians, regarding access to health are very high.
War trauma, exacerbated by the displacement and inadequate living conditions, has increased the sensitivity of Syrian refugees to health risks. Most of the Syrian refugees suffer from mental health and psycho-social problems as well as chronic diseases, physical injuries and/or various disabilities. Inadequate living conditions during or after the conflict and accompanying displacement can adversely affect the psycho-social situation of refugees ─ especially women, the elderly and children ─. Immigrants and refugees often have limited access to health services due to financial constraints, the language barrier and lack of knowledge about available services. In addition to these impossibilities, refugees living in rural areas face even more difficult conditions and almost no access to health services due to distance or financial constraints. S.O.S provides services at RSPSD centers in Hatay, focusing on practices and activities that address the most urgent needs of refugees and migrants.

Main Projects / Activities

OUR WORKS ON HUMAN RIGHTS RESEARCH CENTER
Another beer study area, which is as important as health services, is our human rights research center. It publishes analyzes, reports and articles by different researchers and academics from Turkey and abroad on human rights and regions around the world. Our organization is not committed to any idea or community, but aims for academic and widespread influence. Apart from publications, it organizes active and interactive training programs in many related fields such as regional specialty trainings and human rights training. MEDICAL NUTRITION AND HUNGER TREATMENT IN WAR ZONES, REFUGEE CAMPS.
HEALTH SCREENINGS IN WAR ZONES, REFUGEE CAMPS. MIGRANT RIGHTS CONSULTING. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROJECTS FOR ARTICLES, PAPERS AND NEW IMMIGATION POLICIES .

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We think that we will be useful in sharing information and experience, as we measure the follow-up on immigration and immigrants in the field. At the same time, we have a team of academicians experienced in EU projects, and we hope that we can get joint funds with you.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Media

General Information

Social TV (ISTV) is an independent, non-profit media organization that engages the Israeli and international public through thought-provoking, critical video articles on complex social issues across Israel and Palestine. We disrupt the status quo by producing and distributing video articles that offer the public an up-close, unseen view of social phenomena that the Israeli mainstream media refuses to cover. Social TV has three employees, several freelancers, and volunteers. We are generously supported by several international Foundations and Organizations in the fields of human rights and media, and work in tandem with other human-rights organizations in Israel/Palestine. Our annual budget is in the area of £234,000.

Mission and Objectives

Social TV exists as both a stage and microphone for those most affected by issues of poverty, the occupation, militarism, and more. Our hard-hitting video articles facilitate discourse on the intersection of various systems of oppression and the unjust social order that thrives within Israel. Social TV is proud to mobilize everyday people into activists and change makers. We reframe complex social phenomena of Israel and Palestine into accessible video articles--providing critical analyses as opposed to one-sided narratives perpetuated by Israeli mainstream media. Our team of activists believe that alternative media is a tool of progressive struggle--necessary for awakening public consciousness and radical social change. We mobilize everyday people into activists and change-makers. In 2020, our video articles reached 4,000,000 exposures and 25,000 direct interactions with viewers. Our main focus is on democratic values and human rights, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, poverty and food insecurity, and other social issues in Israel/Palestine.

Main Projects / Activities

In the coming year of activity (2022) we intend to deal with four core issues: Militarism in Israeli society; Poverty, hunger, and food insecurity in Israel; Hope Hub: Rewriting a Jewish/Palestinian Narrative in Shared Cities Through Media; and a sequence of current articles on core issues.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Social TV is undergoing an organizational renewal. Going forward, one of our primary organizational goals is to motivate language-based solutions and emotional, human, authentic reflection in the context of relationships between Jewish-Israelis and Palestinian citizens of Israel in Israel/Palestine. In May and April of 2021, Israel’s shared/”mixed” cities saw widespread clashes between Palestinian citizens of Israel and Jewish-Israelis--the most violent outbreak in two decades. Understanding that we can no longer neglect addressing the long-standing tensions, Social TV, drawing on its expertise in telling complex stories and our close relationships with activists on the ground, created Hope Hub. Behind our expertise are proven methods that produce multi-layered content based on limited staff alongside and mostly volunteers. Our resume attests to our ability and experience in training hundreds of social activists as independent video reporters, as demonstrated by our successful ‘Peace Journalism’ program in conjunction with the European Union and Adam Institute. We believe we can contribute to the Network in Israel/Palestine by sharing our vast experience with partner organizations and collaborating with others to create

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Because of our 15 years of experience leading the production of video articles promoting human rights, equality, and peace in Israel, we believe joining the ALF Network would allow us to continue learning and tailoring our projects to extend our reach to our intended audience. Hope Hub is a process that is unique, innovative, and the first of its kind. No other organization has the same ability to carry out a project that brings together elements of videography, complex-storytelling, narrative building, and direct involvement of activists. To the best of our knowledge, there exists no other project which builds joint narrative through video production as a tool for creating a model of shared life. Social TV is uniquely qualified to carry out such a project given our 15 years of experience leading in the production of video articles promoting human rights, equality, and peace in Israel.

General Information

ASAD is an NGO founded in 2005 dedicated to carrying out cooperation and education projects where communication plays a fundamental role as a key factor for empowerment and participation of the civil society.
ASAD has developed more than 40 projects: of social awareness in Spain (to promote cultural diversity, gender equality, protection of environment...), and intended to build local strengthnesses in terms of social economy, access to education and community media, among others, in developing countries.
We employ 10 employees and 20 technical professionals annually. Our projects have been financed by 9 public and private institutions, with an average yearly budget of 400.000€-600.000€. We have directly reached more than 6000 rights holders, and indirectly more than 2.5000.0000 people through social networks, events and media.
Our main partners are local NGOs from the countries where we work, and local organizations from the South of Spain.

Mission and Objectives

ASAD was created with the objective of acting against the structural causes of poverty through the promotion of Human Rights. To that end, we lead development projects that favor community empowerment and the self-driven social development of the communities our projects are aimed at. Additionally, we work to strengthen civil society through development education.
ASAD’S OBJECTIVES:
-Take action against the structural causes of poverty and foster the social development of affected communities.
-Promote awareness and education for democracy, social justice, peace, and solidarity.
-Organize, train, and support our volunteers so that they can work to achieve these objectives in impoverished countries as well as in Spain.
-Organize and carry out efforts for development cooperation and solidarity with impoverished countries, according to their needs, and keeping in mind their cultural identity, the perspective of gender, and respect for the environment.

Main Projects / Activities

International Development Cooperation
Our work in the field is characterized by the use of community empowerment processes as the foundation of our activities so that the populations we work with can accomplish for themselves an authentic social development. To that end, we work alongside organizations within our partner countries to identify and promote projects focused on securing and defending Human Rights, always making sure to generate and strengthen the skills necessary for the proposals to be sustainable over time. Since our beginning, we have cooperated with organizations in Guatemala, Cabo Verde, Guinea Bissau, Cambodia, Brazil and the Dominican Republic.
Please, find more information on: https://asad.es/category/cooperacion-internacional/

Development Education
At ASAD we believe development education carried out in Spain is key to getting the population to be conscious of the reality and causes of local and global inequality. Development education is the seed that can generate a real change in mentality, because a society that’s informed and well-versed in issues of development and social change will be inclined to engage with social justice on a local as well as international level. Since 2012 we have worked on a wide variety of development education projects in the South of Spain, mainly through secondary schools and with activists (organized or not) that have allowed us to conduct awareness and mobilization activities aimed at the general population. In all of our local initiatives, communication understood as a bidirectional right and creativity expressed through diverse forms of socially engaged art have a fundamental role, because through these tools we are able to deeply understand reality and equip ourselves with the most powerful abilities available for intervening in short, medium, and long term: the abilities to create and spread ideas.
Please, find more information on: https://asad.es/proyectos/espana/

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

ASAD is a NGO specialized in communication for social change. Therefore, we have strong capacities to promote the respect of diversity and the dialogue among citizens from different cultures, origins and beliefs.
Our projects use communication tools, making participatory short films, artivism in the streets, films, informative campaigns, exhibitions, comunitary multimedia centers… And especially academic training, so that people and organizations can create by themselves to exert social pressure to achieve the full respect of the Human Rights, and a peaceful and democratic society.
From our point of view, knowing about communication and being able to use it, serves for understanding our own reality and that of our environment, to meet and understand the causes of the inequality and their possible solutions, as well as to position and assume our individual and social responsibility towards the injustices between North and South.
Please, watch our video "Can communication change people’s life? Communication Rights according to ASAD" to know more about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFww7p7sVds
Provided that background, we think that we can contribute to the Network by sharing our expertise and know-how, contributing to the main lines of the ALF in Spain: education, culture and arts, media and civil society, all of that, specially important if our location in the mediterranean border of Europe is considered.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Our aim joining the ALF Network is to work together with the member organizations so as to achieve our common objectives; to learn from each other in the development of our activity; and to reinforce the role of the intercultural dialogue in the Mediterranean community.
