General Information

Citizens & Politics started in September 2017. The aim of the initiative, called at the time Coffee & Politics, was to be more involved and knowledgeable about politics without having to necessarily join a political party. It started as small reunions between friends who were interested in reappropriating their history and culture, challenging the mainstream political narrative, and creating a community where one can speak freely and learn from the other. The initiative soon moved from meeting in small coffee shops in Beirut to bigger ones, and then to other regions in Lebanon, and soon to diaspora groups abroad.

Mission and Objectives

Citizens & Politics is an NGO registered in France (RNA: W751262993). It aims to offer varied and quality debates, discussions and trainings that allow Lebanese citizens to have the means and tools to transform their society under the values of humanism, equality, secularism and progress. Citizens & Politics aims at serving all citizens, whatever their level of commitment in the public sphere is: students, academics, young activists or elected officials.

Main Projects / Activities

You can check our previous projects on our Facebook page and website. We have two upcoming projects in Lebanon, one from June until September with talks in coffee shops around history, economy, local politics, environment and law in three different regions in Lebanon. In the fall, we have another project around thematic history themes (8 topics with a panel of speakers for each).

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

I can contribute with my experience in civic education, debates and political dialogue. I also have a good network in Lebanon.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

I want to join the ALF network in order to be connected with like-minded individuals who have the same values as me, and would like Citizens & Politics to be part of a bigger network in order to expand regionally.

General Information

The structure of our team is horizontal as we are working together toward all goals. We are research oriented with five members of staff working on our projects. We have received grants from the US Embassy, the Youth Makerspace Larnaka and have applied to various Erasmus projects with partners across Europe. Other partners with whom we have collaborated are: UNESCO MIL Alliance, Cyprus Pedagogical Institute, EKOME - National Centre for Audiovisual Media and Communication, Critical Literacy Lab, Cypriot Enterprise Link, and Psaroloco Media Literacy Project. Our workshops and projects are designed with the understanding that engagement and critique of the media is empowering. Our main focus is media literacy and since 2019 we have led almost ten events related to the topics of misinformation, data literacy, algorithms, gamification, etc. Our MediaLearn site offers free educational resources to teachers and educators that source from our activities and projects.

Mission and Objectives

Media What is a non-profit organisation made up of a team of educators and researchers experienced in designing learning experiences that encourage critical thinking through media activities. Mission: Media What is committed to promoting media education through participatory media production activities that empower community voices and enhance media literacy and critical thinking. Vision: Media What aspires to be the leading media education hub in Cyprus, and to influence education policy-making through its media education practices, projects and research. Our workshops and projects are designed with the understanding that engagement and critique of the media is empowering. We believe that developing media literacy is essential to navigating a world that is rich in information and media messages and this is important for students and teachers. We are dedicated to supporting youth in developing the knowledge, skills and attitudes that can enable them to be creative in their use of media, while remaining conscious and critical citizens online and offline.

Main Projects / Activities

Our more recent project is JOUREDIS, on which we collaborate with the Cyprus University of Technology, and aims to support journalists in their efforts to resist misinformation through the use of digital journalism tools. Our workshop series, will develop the skills needed to engage with mobile journalism, wirting for social media, live blogging and fact-checking. Earlier this year we coordinated a speaker series called 'Mediatised Portraits of Women' and asked: What does it mean to be a woman in Cyprus in 2021? The project centred on the value of media literacy to address challenges of every woman’s empowerment and is part of the POWER project (Portraits Of Women's Empowered Representations), funded by the US Embassy Cyprus (https://www.mediawhat.org/en/projects/power). Additionally, in collaboration with Youth Makerspace Larnaka and Youth Board Cyprus, we offered three paid artist residencies on the theme of "Making Womanhood". We also just completed an other project called 'Use Your Head' (Με Τον Νου Σου!) that explores misinformation spread. For this project we build an interactive game in collaboration with the award-winning artist Yiota Demetriou. The project is funded by Arts Council England and uses Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) tech, enabling the player, wearing the BCI headset, to interact with our co-written story without the click of a button or a hand-held controller, but merely by concentrating on what they would like to do when asked about how they would like to advance the narrative. (https://www.mediawhat.org/en/projects/mtns).

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are expert educational professionals, researchers and workshop facilitators. We believe that our skills and expertise in media literacy can add to the network's aspirations to build more inclusive, empathetic and resilient societies, to fight growing mistrust and polarisation. Media literacy is a fundamental set of competencies. You can’t function in today’s media-rich reality without having at least some basic knowledge and skills about the media and technology. But media literacy is a muscle that needs to be strengthened, especially when the boundaries of what we call media and information are constantly changing online. We believe that when young people learn to decode, critique and question media they can take ownership of their media consumption and can feel more confident to engage in media practices that amplify their voices. Media What aims to spark that journey into motion, by engaging youth in activities that challenge them to reflect on their media practices and to imagine themselves as storytellers, activists or historians producing media products within an increasingly complex digital media environment.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We would like to offer insights and support to the network's efforts to build a culture based on dialogue and exchange and help create and popularise alternative narratives to fight extremist discourses and radicalisations. We will do that by collaborating and working with the network's partners to transform the region's relationship to media products and engaging in activities that promote critical thinking and active digital citizenship. Our strength is in developing activities and initiatives that can be integrated in different learning environments. Finally, we would like to create the spaces for community members to tell their stories through digital storytelling and inspire the next generation of critically engaged citizens while also influencing policy-making across the region.

Founded in 2008, its capacity is expanded by a team of 12 people who dedicate their time and energy for the implementation of various intercultural and interfaith activities. The people involved possess expertise in different backgrounds, but their mutual concern for both the youth and the community at large is what binds them together. 2011 BRIDGES became a cooperation circle of the biggest grassroots interfaith network URI (United Religions Initiative). The organization has a vast experience in the preparation of project proposals for funding programs, organization and delivery of youth projects and events, coordination and management of project documentation, capacity building, regular contacts and development of relations with external partners and stakeholders, administrative tasks and reporting.

We are having good international partnerships in several European countries – the Netherlands, Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, North Macedonia, Belgium. Bridges is a Cooperation Circle of URI network since 2011, which is the biggest international interfaith grassroots network in the world. More than 1000 interfaith groups all around the world, 62 of them in Europe.

Mission and Objectives

The main focus is on youth empowerment that translates into enhanced creativity, active citizenship, social engagement, providing them with opportunities which will equip them with relevant skills to be successful in a professional environment as well as capable of giving back to the community. Talented adolescents, who have been attracted by the organization, represented it in official events that allowed them to be in close contact with the locals and act as proactive and self-aware changemakers. Another objective that this organization is striving to attain is the promotion of peace and tolerance. The youth activities realized foster close cooperation and better understanding among young people in the spirit of respecting human rights. Those events and activities aim towards resolving conflicts, promotion of peaceful societies through recognition and respect for the others.

Main Projects / Activities

BRIDGES has implemented projects and activities such as intercultural camps BRIDGE-Inter-Cultures (5 editions), Erasmus + exchanges as to help young people develop their full potential. Input by the youth is used when putting up the displays of art. Their works are featured in the exhibitions, giving them exposure to the professional world where they can influence change and the decision making process. The organisation has as its target group young people because they are source of creativity and are capable of critically assessing the different environments they may be placed in. Recently (1 year ago), an additional branch was founded, namely BRIDGES Youth, to encourage the active participation of adolescents in the society and to equip them with tools to be successful and productive units of their respective communities. ● international youth camps (co-funded by BG Municipalities, URI E, private donors and a partner from the Netherlands) – implemented six years from 2016 ● intercultural art exhibitions and concerts – eight events in total ● participation in Erasmus + exchange projects – seven implemented, two more are to be carried out ● conducting training sessions and workshops

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Bridges is part of the United Religions Initiative network since 2011, the biggest grassroots interfaith organization. This will help develop the partnerships among the ALF and URI networks on local level. Our good partnerships with different religious communities in several parts of the country also will be of mutual benefit for the ALF network in the country. One of our goal is to develop a large network of likeminded organisation in Bulgaria, so that this would be a great opportunity.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

For many years we are fascinated by the work ALF is doing in Europe and MENA region. We have partners from URI network who are already a ALF members. The mission and main principals are in line with our organization. Promoting intercultural dialogue and cooperation through art is one of our main focus and would be great if we can learn from other partners in ALF about their good practices and successful practices.
