Main Projects / Activities

Our principal activities in the past mid-term period included: (a) programs, consultancies, and collaborations related to female leadership in business, work-life balance, gender equality, and inclusion in the workplace; (b) projects dedicated to elimination of gender stereotypes in education, including those based on active engagement of elementary and secondary school students, and those engaging teachers as actors of change (e.g. our current project Kindle Equality where we developed Train the Trainer program for elementary school teachers: https://kindle-equality.com/treniraj-trenera/)

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

As detailed above, we have a strong background in gender equality, particularly in education and in the workplace, and are willing to share our expertise with other Network members through joint activities. We also, due to professional capacities of our members, do have an extensive expertise in sustainable development, international development, and in business sector engagement, which we are also ready to offer in view of extending collaboration within the national and international network.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The members of MODE1 already have individual history of collaborating with various stakeholders in the geographic area covered by the initiative, mostly through UN system organizations. We are looking forward to the opportunity to expand this collaboration in terms of countries involved, the variety of organizations covered, and programmatic priorities addressed. We believe that the Mediterranean is the intuitive, although neglected, area for collaboration, and the one in which organizations from Croatia do have relevant input to offer, both due to our developmental experiences, and our current position on the crossroads between the EU and non-EU countries

We are aware that there are a lot of things to do in Spain. We recently started with the organization, and we have a lot of energy and activities in our mind.
Firstly, we want to contribute with the experience of our members, because some of them have lived abroad, in this case in some countries which are part of the Anna Lindh Foundation.
Secondly, we can contribute with our experience and knowledge in different topics, for example, we have members who have studied feminism, international cooperation, or creative writing as a master’s degree, and, we have formation in Geography, Spanish Language and Literature, Drama, Translation or Law as a bachelor’s degree.
We also want to share our Spanish culture, since it is rich and very different from region to region. We have members from three different parts of Spain and some of us speak Catalan. We think that is very beneficial to show all the different cultures, languages, even food, that we have inside our country.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We are a group of young people from Spain who want to take part in our society to try to improve it. We know that we can't do it alone and for that reason we are willing to find new people, organizations and create networks to work together. We found the foundation thanks to our friend Patricia, from Granada, who is already part of the Anna Lindh Foundation. We would like to work with the foundation in order to learn from each other and contribute to take action in different societies, and of course, in the Spanish one.

ACTIVE offers a broad spectrum of cultural activities ranging from free time activities via games and sports through to intercultural events for 150 learners per year. Types of events and activities are also ranging from focused on young people through migrants to generation spanning events. Secondly, it covers a broad range of continuing education. ACTIVE offers occupational training seminars in the field of outdoor sports and language lessons, eco-friendly courses for senior citizens and migrants, and education and recreation courses for youngsters and seniors too. Participants acquire recognized training certificates and are qualified as multipliers. ACTIVE provides safe space and necessary equipment for a number of active citizens which like to be physically active and enjoy sports in nature. The activities are inclusive and participatory as well as tailored to the specific needs
and interests of young children, youth, adults or senior citizens.

ACTIVE designs its activities to be in line with promoting active citizenship and youth entrepreneurship. The organization gives young people a chance to attend various projects, youth exchanges and seminars where they can improve their skills, better understand common values and civic engagement and develop a sense of initiative. Improvement of digital skills of young people is also one of ACTIVE’s priorities since it contributes to their employability. During international and local activities, different technologies are used and provided to participants. Since ACTIVE organizes a lot of sport events, those are also enriched by implementing the newest technologies. The organization is also active on social media, using it to raise awareness about the main topics of interest (youth participation, active citizenship, Erasmus+ program, sustainability, sports, youth work etc.)

To ensure social inclusion of all groups, ACTIVE’s volunteers regularly provide online language classes, focusing mostly on German language. The classes are free to attend and encompass a range of language levels and topics of interest depending on the demand of the participants.

ACTIVE team members have participated in multiple trainings and initiatives under the Erasmus+ and ACTIVE has experienced Erasmus+ Sport projects through volunteer activities implementing eco-friendly workshops and activities in Vienna woods. ACTIVE was not included in Eco-friendly sport as an official partner. The members of the organization joined the challenge and organized a clean-up of natural areas used for practicing sports in 7 EU countries.

All ACTIVE’s activities are in line with eco-friendly approaches and we take advantage of any chance to promote environmental protection and conservation. Organizing nature clean-ups, eco-friendly sport activities, supporting digital transformation and sustainable way of managing the organization all make ACTIVE an environmentally conscious and friendly organization.

ACTIVE regularly organizes hiking events in Vienna woods led by our members and volunteers. Events are open, available for anyone to join, but especially targeting young people and migrants living in Vienna and surrounding areas. The aim is to promote physical activity of young people, give them an opportunity to escape from their sedentary lifestyle and help them to integrate into the society by participating in the events. Events are many times attended by people new to the city and country and it is a great chance to meet new like-minded people and join a slowly growing network of young hikers. The hikes are always designed in an inclusive way, choosing appropriate difficulty, length and usually the are also combined with other activities such as plogging, herbal hiking, planting trees etc. Hiking itself is promoting social inclusion by not giving barriers to participation in physical activity.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Being a new and growing organization we currently operate on local level and have started to engage also in international European projects. Our next steps would include creating a bridge between young people from the community participating in our projects and activities and local policy makers. As members of the ALF Network we could contribute to the Network's activities and initiatives in Vienna, Austria and help to extend the outreach of the Network. Since our organization currently mostly focuses on youth work, active citizenship, sustainability and physical activity, we could contribute to the content of ALF Network in those fields.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

As a recent and relatively small organization, we would like to elevate our activities on an international cooperation and support other organizations focusing on the development of young people and their civic engagement. Our goal is to reach local policymakers and help local people to participate in policy-making mostly in areas of interest of ACTIVE: youth participation, sustainability, active citizenship, sport etc. Joing the ALF Network will help us to achieve these goals , extend our range of activities, provide our services to other members and additionally also find interesting partners for futher cooperations with the aim of empowering young people in Europe and further.

General Information

www.onorient.com is a media and cultural agency launched in 2013 in Morocco who promotes cultures and artists through editorial contents, podcasts, events and exhibitions. Since its creation, Onorient has worked with hundreds of institutions, media, sponsors, places, artists and culturals players in France, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan.

In addition to its activities, ONORIENT is currently launching Babour, an annual print publication in french and darija (dialectal Arabic in North Africa) whose first edition will be highlighting the role played by dialectal Arabic in North Africa and France.

At the moment, we are working as a freelancers’ collective and we are currently waiting for the confirmation of the prefecture in France to become a legal organisation. We don’t have employees. Everyone collaborating with Onorient has their own activities and participates punctually to project development.

As we’re working on the print publication project, we’re applying for fundings by replying to calls from several organisations like OIF, AFAC, Institut Français etc.

Mission and Objectives

Promote, support and diffuse cultural and artistic creations from North Africa and Middle East. We organise events, communicate and write about emerging and alternative artists and cultures of the Middle East and North Africa.

Main Projects / Activities

Babour publication : feature annual magazine. First Edition about dialectal Arabic in North Africa to be launched in late 2022/early 2023.
Babour Workshops : writing workshops dedicated to highschoolers in France, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. The main focus will be to make them write in their mother tongue languages and exchange - about who and where they are - with students from other countries.
Onorient website www.onorient.com : More than 1000 articles, podcasts and videos about culture in North Africa and Middle East

Babour’s genesis : After more than 9 years as a web magazine and cultural agency with Onorient, we decided we needed more. An object to hold in our hands, something we could enshrine to try and forge ties between Morocco, Algerie, Tunisia and France. We rapidly thought about a print publication. As a journalist and a writer we are deeply connected to paper, words and stories. This desire gave birth to Babour : at the heart of this publication, four countries we wanted to connect together with languages, artists, trends, movements and challenges.

Babour workshop’s genesis : The workshop project fits in the wider context of the print publication. In North African dialectal Arabic, babour means boat. In popular songs, this word is linked to the willingness to leave, to flee, to migrate. For the publication we decided to twist its meaning to associate new realities to it, to place it under the sign of alterity and discovery.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

After almost 10 years we have a deep experience and understanding of the cultural network in North Africa and the Middle East. We also have developed a strong knowledge on how art can be used to shed light on new realities, trends, languages and causes. Finally, we have a young and connected audience in the Middle East, North Africa and France.
We can help our Anna Lindh partners, build and develop cultural projects, organise events, workshops and communicate around them with an efficient story-telling.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We share the values of Anna Lindh. We are deeply committed to promoting cultural and interpersonal dialogue through diversity. We want to be part of a network where inclusivity and empathy are not just words. Where we can exchange views and help each other for a better impact.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

In our own country, we want to establish a close relationship with the country coordinatorship in order to develop the ALF Network. Within our non-governmental organization, we have the potential to make progress by sharing the expertise of individuals who develop themselves in different subjects academically and technically with young people and children. Developing the objectives of the ALF and being able to create an empathetic community are among our most important ideals. In order to develop an empathic society, we want to apply many different subprotections within the Network to different target groups together with them.
