Mission and Objectives

femLENS’ primary objective is to help women believe that their perspective is important, inspiring them to find the courage to develop their own voice through visual expression. The hope is not only to give the participants and the femLENS community a platform, but also to embolden women to carry that courage into other aspects of their lives. femLENS shares this mission through workshops, exhibitions, publications and advocacy across the globe.

Since March 2021 we have: run 7 campaigns published 22 articles for campaigns featured 57 stories for the campaigns published one zine based on collective work (one zine in production) published 8 photo projects specifically for campaigns. In 2022 we published a community survey to gain a better understanding of the needs, challenges and ambitions of women image makers working with documentary photography.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are always looking to partner with non-profit associations, community centres, libraries and other groups who are interested in learning documentary photography and storytelling as a tool for documentation of the work and life of their communities. We have an active and growing community of women around the world who are eager and equipped to tell their authentic stories. Networking is a great opportunity to meet with community members, support the community to have free discussions and share personal stories, but also a potential source of collaboration projects between partners and femLENS. These opportunities altogether create a sustainable platform where ideas can be incubated into projects while receiving community support.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The ALF Network is a chance to learn from other organisations and get a platform to share the work of femLENS' community, amplifying their voices for the broad audience. It is also a chance to find trusting, like-minded partners for future projects and collaboration.

General Information

Youth Academy Sport Club Association is a non-profit non-governmental organisation working for generalizing daily sports and strategic entrepreneurship policies, innovation and youth employment habit among youngsters aged between 15-40. For this aim our association uses the desire of differentiation of youngsters and sports and projects as the tool. The main sport branches that our association has been applying are dragon boat, horse riding and climbing.

Mission and Objectives

Correspondingly, our association works in the field of advocacy for youth rights in different fields. Through these two main areas, we keep close contact with other association working for close aims in local, regional and international level. Our structure is being manage and ran by volunteers. Our core volunteer team runs this communication process according to their interest areas. In addition, Turkish Red Crescent Eskişehir City Branch is also a powerful partner for our association. Most of our managing volunteers worked for TRC Eskişehir Youth Department before. This close relation improves the quality of our activities. Youth Academy Sport Club Association mainly applies project based advocacy work. Also, we apply sport events for our volunteers.

Main Projects / Activities

Through different European Union funds, we have been implementing Erasmus+, European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteering, and European Delegation funds. We believe that youth work and capacity building for them is an important asset of shaping our future. Projects, networks, multi-cultural interactions are also the way to increase dialogue between different cultures. This small steps may turn into bigger collaborations. Therefore, we have been implementing ESC projects continuously. Currently, we are also implementing another networking project (Hippotherapy Turkey) funded by EU Delegation to Turkey under "Support to Civil Society Networks in Turkey". We are creating a network between organizations, and professionals for establishing a hippotherapy network in Turkey. In addition, we are doing advocacy for a hippotherapy legislation accepted by Ministry of Health in Turkey.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

System and Generation, and the Association of Civil Society and Development Institute (ACSDI) are experienced organization in Turkey. The experience and potential they have is obviously the reason that they were found qualified to be a part of Turkish Network. In addition to their valuable works, Youth Academy Sports Club Association can bring another perspective with its young, ambitious team. Both of the organizations do not work in sports related areas. Considering the realities of our new world, problems caused by malnutrition, obesity, regarding the habits of the modern world, the numbers of people who suffer from various diseases. Due to eating habits, and cultures, malnutrition based obesity, and related diseases can be seen often in Mediterranean cultures. Youth Academy might fill in that expertise of the network in Turkey as well as different funding mechanisms.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

As Youth Academy Sports Club Association, we understand the value, and power of the networking. This is also why we decided that a network for hippotherapy in Turkey is needed for implementation of professional hippotherapy activities, and sustainability. Therefore, on the topics that we have been working such as youth empowerment, culture, policy advocacy, disabled people. We believe that being a part of ALF will be contribute to widen our vision, increase the impact of our works.

De l’autre côté, nous produisons un nombre important de contenus, avec de nombreuses publications (notes, études, interviews), ou des podcasts, afin de répondre aux grands enjeux qui agitent aujourd’hui l’Europe. L’objectif est de fournir des clefs de compréhension au grand public, tout en proposant des idées innovantes.

Nous sommes particulièrement engagés sur le dialogue interculturel et intergénérationnel. Nous avons réalisé un grand nombre d’événements sur le dialogue entre l’Europe et d’autres zones géographiques dans le monde, en particulier le Moyen-Orient ou la zone euro-méditerranée. Nous pourrons donc apporter notre expérience de la mobilisation, du rassemblement d’acteurs variés, qui est reconnue et qui a déjà fait ses preuves.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Nous souhaitons rejoindre le réseau de la FAL afin d’être pleinement intégré au sein d’une ensemble d’organisations partageant les mêmes valeurs, mais aussi pour pouvoir prendre part à des projets en faveur de davantage d’inclusion et de dialogue interculturel.
