General Information

De Amicitia is an NGO and not for profit or any political ties. We have a team composed by active members, volunteers and 4 permanent workers. Our modalities of action include international volunteer camps, but also activities in local areas such as reforestation. In addition, De Amicitia participates in international exchanges and seminars for young people, both as a host and a sending organization. These focus mainly on social activities and the promotion of development, peace and human rights.
Regarding the sources of funding, De Amicitia mainly has membership fees, grants for Erasmus + projects and some specific grants from city councils or organizations such as the Madrid Community Youth Council. The partners of our projects are town councils and associations, as well as foreign organizations that are part of the Alliance network. The approximate annual budget is 90.000€, of which 70% comes from Erasmus +, 25% from the membership fee and 5% from municipalities and small donors.

Mission and Objectives

Our mission is based on rural development and non formal education through volunteering activities and workcamps. All of our volunteer projects have a solidarity objective that seeks to improve the quality of life of a specific locality or community. At the same time, we seek to develop social and organizational capacities of young people and adults who, as volunteers, can improve values such as interculturality, tolerance, environmental protection, and the importance of peace. We mostly develop activities for youth and education, especially promoting the inclusion of those with fewer opportunities.
De Amicitia is also active in the WWOOF network for organic farming and leads other local projects. In this way, one of the main objectives of De Amicitia is to promote the development of rural areas, promoting agriculture, organic livestock and beekeeping.

Main Projects / Activities

De Amicitia offers its volunteers (both adults and young people) the opportunity to participate in local and international volunteering activities, mainly based in environmental protection and sustainable development, through international volunteer fields and activities in national and regional projects.
In addition, it also participates in international youth seminars and exchanges as a host organization and sending volunteers, mainly in matters of social action and promotion of development, democracy and human rights.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We would love to collaborate with Anna Lindh Foundation in the empowerment of young voices, which have a lot to say nowadays. Our projects allow young people of different nationalities to be in contact and, at the same time, to work in the construction of more open and inclusive communities that can confront extremist discourses that endanger the values of democracy. In this way, De Amicitia's volunteer projects encourage the exchange of ideas and dialogues between people of different nationalities, while helping to improve community development, environmental protection and sustainable development.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Being a member of ALF Network would allow us to stay in contact with other youth associations in the Mediterranean, with the aim of being able to improve and strengthen the dialogue between us. Likewise, belonging to ALF would allow us to participate in the different calls for grants and activities promoted by the Foundation. Finally, membership in this foundation allows us to be more informed of all the initiatives and actions carried out by the Foundation itself that contribute to the fulfilment of common objectives.

General Information

We are small NGO with up to 15 people involved in our actions. We are active in European projects and national programes aimed to non-formal or vocational development of youths or adults. These groups include people unemployed, people with disabilities or people with fewer opportunities. These projects usually are about personal development or professional/vocational development, social/civic activation, or raising awareness on issues such as protection of environment, sustainable development, youth entrepreneurship and the need to prevent social exclusion of people with fewer opportunities.
We have usually around 100-200 thousand euro of a yearly turnover. There are examples of our projects given in the attached file.
We involve partners in our international projects from all over Europe and the Mediterranean.

Mission and Objectives

Green Elephant Foundation is a non-governmental organization established with an aim of providing lifelong learning to the youths and adults. We focus in particular on educational activities aimed to face social problems like violence, discrimination, racism, hate speech, problem of inadequate level of education, or problems the youths encounter while starting their adventure on the labor market, raising entrepreneurial and civic awareness, ecological awareness, projects focused on sustainable development. We implement also projects to set work placements abroad, support vocational education of young people, create online educational products and solutions. We are also implementing projects embracing individual career development, vocational courses and traineeships on national level, aimed at adult unemployed or disabled people.
Thank to our experience in the youth sector, we are one of the authors of Polish National Agency publication about youth projects https://wymianymlodziezy.frse.org.pl/przewodnik-dla-wnioskodawcow-juz-d…
We care for the values expressed in European Programes like Erasmus+ and for Human Rights, what was the reason to submit a petition in this subject to European Parliament in October 2020 which is going to be evaluated
We cooperate in the field of social activities and infrastructure with the city of Lublin on basis of agreement no. 24/IPS/21.
We are officially registered as a publishing institution in Poland no. PL/e-ISBN/12513 with an own publications and we are also officially registered training institution no. 2.06/00062/2019.
We are also granted Quality Label enabling us to provide sending and hosting opportunities for European Volunteers under European Solidarity Corps 2020-1-PL01-ESC52-083032.

Main Projects / Activities

Our activities are aimed at target groups in need of support, adults who activation on the labor market, students who need vocational development, youths in the need of non-formal support, people at the risk of social exclusion etc. For the needs of this application, we would focus in the youth sector. Our youth activities are often aimed at youth workers or youths to prevent racism, radicalizm and hate speech, including online hate speech.

Our youth target group with fewer opportunities are graduated youths of local highschool in Wisznice town, in eastern Poland. That is a remote rural area. The participants often are facing economical and geographical fewer opportunities as they come from remote rural areas and poor families. There are around 50 graduates each year and many of them with sufficient English skills and motivation to participate in a youth project. They are aged around 19. The youths are involved often in our initiatives which we undertake in that region and they are aware of our presence there, thus we believe there wouldn't be needed open recruitment, but only selection of present candidates. Five of them have already submitted their own application under ESC Solidarity Projects Call. We have worked with them within our Youth exchange located in that town and KA3 projects also located there and involving local young people, entrepreneurs and politicians. We are also sending these youths abroad within KA105 projects where we are partners in. We have also experience in working with a similar target group in the town of Krasnystaw in eastern Poland. Those participants were students of vocational school and we organized for them vocational placements in Italy and Spain under VET projects.

In the same time we are a cultural organization which is proud of supporting literacy and reading. We have a number of old books under our care including unique printouts which dates back to XIX and XVIII century. We promote the culture of reading and preserving the books. We also promote other traditional activities like local handcrafts - often organize workshops with people who make homemade foodstuffs.
We use our networks of social media contacts, mailing lists and cooperating institutions and media which include: association "Stowarzyszenie Aktywne Pogranicze", vocational schools in Krasnystaw (ZS no. 1) and "Lider" in Lublin, mayor of the Wisznice commune, Piotr Dragan, the mayor of the Sławatycze commune Arkadiusz Misztal, the head of the Piszczac commune, Kamil Kożuchowski or even lower ranks, such as the mayor of Żeszczynka, Krystyna Karpiuk. We work as a social partner on the basis of an agreement also with the Department of Social Initiatives and Programs of the City of Lublin. We have contacts within regional networks of social and civic organizations. We cooperate with Słowo Podlasia or RadioBiper in Biała Podlaska.

We have organized several week-long training events in our resorts in Poland for almost 400 youth workers and young people from all over EU and the partner countries.
We cooperate with schools in remote rural areas and in the city if Lublin. Our aim of cooperation is to involve young people in the process of self development to make them more open-minded, more critical thinking, more communicative and more active members of society. We have supported them in the field of vocational development by sending them to traineeships abroad and in non formal education by organizing foreign mobilities with our youth workers. We have involved so far over 250 people into foreign mobilities to international projects under Erasmus+KA1 youth and adult sector, so they were able to develop themselves in multicultural environment.

We organized foreign vocational mobilities for almost 50 Polish students Italy and Spain. We implemented VET project in 2016-17 with workplacements in Sicily for students of vocational school in Krasnystaw, POWERVET-2016-1-PL01-KA102- 024895). Currently we are providing career consultancy, vocational courses and workplacements unemployed people in the region of Lubelskie (RPLU.10.04.00-06-0029/18) and the disabled (national range, „(Od)Ważni na starcie!” ABS/000004/03/D). and in 2018-19 VET project with workplacements in Spain or students of the vocational school in Krasnystaw and "Lider" in Lublin (2018-1-PL01- KA102-048055). Regarding this field of work, within our projects we address our support to students of vocational schools in Lubelskie region, particularly to students of the Vocational school in Krasnystaw (ZS nr 1) because their students are often people with fewer opportunities due to living in remote rural areas, poor living standard or other obstacles. Due to location of their homes and the school, there is huge need for this sort of support. We also cooperate with the private vocational school "Lider" in Lublin. We involve there also people with fewer opportunities due to migrant/refugee background. They are often Ukrainians forced to move from Ukraine due to the recent war. Apart from that their learners are often also with fewer opportunities due to economical reasons.

With our capital of know-how we also belong to the authors of the Polish National Agency publication about youth projects https://wymianymlodziezy.frse.org.pl/przewodnik-dla-wnioskodawcow-juz-d…

We have implemented 2 international Erasmus+ Key Action 2 strategic partnership project aimed to share good practices to create educational guide and toolpack for youth workers in the field of preventing hate speech and discrimination online and aimed to work with youths on their start-ups in rural areas. Now we are implementing Erasmus+ Key action 2 strategic partnerships: one aimed for women empowerment and equal rights and 2nd one for sustainable development and reduction of plastic in the environment. We are also implementing Visegrad+ strategic partnership to empower young people to set social enterprises using modern technology and intangible cultural heritage to support rural areas.
We have implemented local projects in Erasmus+ KA3, projects of structural dialogue. These projects embraced over 70 schoolkids and were aimed to increase heir social, civic awareness and make them more active members oft he democratic society of the European Union.
We have also organized youth projects for local youths in eastern Poland meant to raise awareness of the youths in area of entrepreneurship and new opportunities given by social media, internet journalism, European programmes and its reference to the youth policy in the region. We have involved local politicians, journalists and other specialists to share their experience, knowledge and create new products, new quality in the dialogue with the youths.
Within Erasmus Adult Education sector we implement project aimed to send adult educations staf for courses abroad to institutions sharing good practises in the field of folk universities and 3rd Age Universities.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We believe we could contribute with our experience and knowledge to work of the Network in general and to support less experienced members. With our actions implemented among young people in the subject of preventing racism, radicalizm, prejudices etc. we could have something to add to the Network potential.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We have learned about this opportunity recently and we believe it works in similar field as we do. We thought earlier that ALF Network refers only to Mediterranean countries as we noticed it among our Turkish or Tunisian partners.
We could contribute to the Network's works while at the same time we would benefit from its know-how and opportunities it gives.

The Sultan is the common denominator for pop fans from all cultures. Eastern and Western influences are combined through the artist's diverse music and entertainment projects.

The turban-wearing entertainer is represented in the main pop culture media channels: As a singer and influencer, comic figure and producer, “The Sultan” is turning into an established star with international cult potential.

Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to become the global leader in diversity & positive representation of modern-Oriental culture in music, media, live performance and film / cartoon.

The Sultan is a magic carpet ride to all cultures. It's a unique and independent pop music entertainment project with a
positive and humorous twist to build bridges and integrate eastern cultures with others.

The Sultan aims to be an ambassador of Oriental cultures in western media by blending Western trends within his music and visual content. By removing the misunderstandings and fear of cultures stigmatized by Western media, the Sultan project aims to create experiences that integrate Eastern values for positive representation and inspire more inclusivity.

Building a bridge between cultures via entertainment and solving diversity problems in the western media:
• Few media role models with oriental charm
• Image problem and poor positive representation of the Orient
• Little inclusion of oriental & Asian artists

Bricks Of Hope For Futures Full Of Opportunities
In the aftermath of the blast that rocked Beirut on August 4th, hundreds lost their lives, thousands were injured, and hundreds of thousands of people found themselves on the streets, stripped from their safe haven, and one of the hardest hit areas was Karantina. That’s why, at ACUA, we decided to team with leading Lebanese architects and contractors to give back to the community and help by taking on an entire street in Medawar. Our initiative involves transforming the neighborhood into an “exemplary” street by rehabilitating and beautifying it while maintaining its cultural heritage, and supporting its residents with mental health care to optimize their quality of life. This is the first step to achieving our vision of a developed, sustainable and beautiful Lebanon.
