General Information

Artistes Sans Frontières – Tunisie is a cultural association that consists of an executive board of four members and an employee, as well as volunteers. We are sustained by cotizations from the executive team, as well as donations from various organizations and revenue from the organized events. Our partners can be divided between the four stages of our artistic projects: Training (Evora Musical School, Coart creative Coworking Space) creation (Nostalgia Band), production (Studio FX/Coart ) and diffusion (Tunivisions), but we also collaborate with international brands that support our activities (Institut Francais en Tunisie, Goethe Institut and Ministry of Cultural Affaires).

Mission and Objectives

Artistes Sans Frontières – Tunisie is a team of talented youths whose mission is to democratize local people's access to world culture with a low budget. Our main target is young people who are open to creative intercultural events, and our objectives include bringing such forms of artistic expression closer to the people of Sfax, and hopefully extend the concept all through Tunisia in the years that follow.

Main Projects / Activities

Our association works with international artists and has been organizing cultural exchanges since 2012. At this time, we have made musical residency activities with our partners in Germany (Mano Muzik Festival) and France (AixQui, Poitiers) and we would like to enlarge our network and diversify our projects. The residency program aims to be a creative exchange between Tunisia and a foreign country.
Our most recent project aims to take our mission one step further by creating the Coart Creative Container (co-working space) that will make Sfax an international capital of culture. We were inspired by improvised spaces in developing countries, and now we want to make the ultimate space for artistic expression, using shipping containers - this way we can optimize the production costs of events, while also centralizing and sharing the skills and expertise of the main cultural actors (organizers, freelancers, and artists). You can find links to some of our projects below:

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

With the musical residencies and exchanges we organize, we try to get closer to our goal of democratizing the access to world culture for both the people of Sfax and their foreign counterparts. Moreover, we wish to change Tunisia’s unequal distribution of artistic events by creating the Cultural Container, a co-working space inspired by improvised spaces in developing countries, that should become the ultimate space for artistic expression. Using shipping containers, we can achieve the same effect as the great cultural spaces of the world with a low budget and make the people of Sfax feel like real citizens of the world.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We believe our activities are ideally in line with the mission of Anna Lindh, and we feel confident that a collaborative relationship would allow us to centralize the resources, talent and skill of both our association and the foundation and can greatly benefit the national Network, as well as our target audience. Together we can improve social understanding between the corners of the Mediterranian and discover the diversity, but also the shared traits of our complex cultures.

The project targeted 200 schools and the electrical and electronic dealers during which the following were accomplished: An assessment study; Circulation of 12000 pre-test and post- test questionnaire to measure awareness for the campaign that was carried out; Organizing training activities addressing teachers and ee dealers; Carrying out a national campaign using emails and SMSs; The production of training materials used in the training of teachers and dealers; The production of pamphlets and posters used in the awareness raising; and Conducting a national competition over the newspapers during which green technology was offered in a national celebration with the support of Jordan Chamber of Commerce. - Contributing in the organization of a regional conference with the participation of 7 Arab countries during which a regional network of civil society organizations was formed titled ee-waste Arab Network. - Carried out community outreach activities to increase its awareness about Minamata: Land and Human to Advocate Progress (LHAP) following Jordan signature and endorsement for Minamata Convention carried out over 6 months ( Dec 2017-May 31, 2018) with support from the International POPs Elimination Network (IPEN) an awareness raising campaign addressed different community components. This has happened exactly after the convening of mercury CoP1. The campaign at a later stage joined forces with the Ministry of Environment and Jordan UNDP to boost the campaign. The info passed to students, teachers, CSOs, university students and staff with a total number of 1475 reached persons in 8 governorates out of 12 in total explained the different articles of mercury convention, the sources of mercury, how it reaches human body and the environment and the health, economic and social impact of the agreement. The data revealed from the Mercury Initiative Assessment (MIA) Report prepared by the Ministry include the largest contributions to mercury inputs to society in Jordan. - LHAP with the support of IPEN participated in the International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week of 21-27 of October2018 launches annually by WHO and UNEP to phase out the use of Lead in paint. LHAP organized an event under the patronage of HE Dr. Ibrahim Bani Hani, MP and member of the Health and Environment committee in addition to being a member of COMPSUD circle. The event had two major components: the first is to address members of municipalities and local councils in the Irbid-Bani Kenanah sub-governorate with the participation of about 80 persons during which lead sources, health, environment, economic and social issues and impacts are discussed. The second component was to paint the pedestrian of Jadara, one of the Decapolis in North West of Jordan. This event is a continuation of a campaign of LHAP launched 7 years ago with the purpose of educating the public and lobby on the government to come up a national legislation to monitor the market of paints that contain lead. The following are photos of the event. - Greening Public Buidling: Community Model for Scarce Resources Adaptation and Replication 2015-2017. The two projects that was supported by UNDP and the International Coca Cola and USAID and FHI360 , implemented by LHAP and its local partners addressing key public sites was able over 20 months, the project life, to conclude many results at two levels energy and water that constitute critical challenging issues to Jordan. At the level of energy the project was able to install 53 kilo watt peak per hour electricity in the four sites (2 mosques, 2 churchs, 1 municipality buildings and two convention centers). The calculated and estimated electricity saving range from 100% to 50% based on the capacity of PVCs. Additional factors are contributing to reducing electricity bill in specific to the mosque in which 201.55 meter square of double windows replaced the single ones with an estimation to reduce energy loss by 40% according to literature. Furthermore, the 2346 LED bulbs that are fixed in sites add to the electricity saving with an estimation of energy loss according to literature equal 40%. At the water level, the project installed 276 water saving devices, estimated to harvest 276 cubic meter of water this winter supplied by pumps to elevate water for use and complete water collection system. The project impacts are measured at different levels: At the environmental level the project is reducing the emissions of CO2 by 78 tons/ year, the NOx by 52 kg/ year, SOx by 49 kg/year and 6 kg of particulates per year. In addition water is made available to overcome cuts and shortages mainly during summer season when the rain water is collected into cisterns and tankers to use in summer in addition into introducing water saving devices the economize in consumption and thus make water available for longer time. A the economic level: economic strains are reduced by the electricity and water bills, something clearly spilled by the people in the church and the mosque who face hard time to collect money to cover the incurring costs of electricity bill and water buying when they are in shortage. For instance, the mosque bill was tremendously reduced from 700 JD (1000 USD) in Ramadan to become 2 JD (3 USD) after connecting the PVCs on grid and installing both the double glaze and LED bulbs. Water in the tanks is staying longer as stated by the Imam after fixing the water saving devices. The one week water consumption time is nowadays enough for three weeks after the site saving technology renovation introduction. It is worth mentioning that mosques and churches committee are responsible for taking care of bills associated with their sites and therefore, the project came as a gift from God and relief for them. Moreover, the sites in which there are schools are getting more popular due to the actions considered by this project that ensure better environment for their kids such as the church that make the fathers and mothers choice where to send their kids is much easier. At the Social level: The community in which the four sites are located have highly appreciated the initiative and therefore many were driven by the impacts spoken about by the owners of the 8 sites to think seriously about installing in specific photo voltaic cells to reduce to zero the electricity bill that constitute stressful economic factor and due to the fact of gradual and continuous increase by the government. Tens of requests were received from individual people in churches, mosques; restaurants and firms after have been exposed to the sites environmental renovations and due to their participation in the hand over ceremonies on how to adopt such systems in their premises due to the strains caused by high electricity bills in specific. This means that the project goal of replicating and impacting the community at large is progressively getting achieved. The community is highly valuing the support given to their public premises and therefore more local support is gained by the committees in charge of these sites. At the Political level: Jordan is enjoying the progress occurring mainly in the area of energy saving and therefore is promoting at the community at large to use of PVCs. The collective reduction of emissions of CO2 is helping Jordan to comply with the international conventions namely: The Climate Change through the reduction of CO2 emissions and Minamata through the phase out of mercury through introducing LED bulbs (mercury free). The government has established an energy fund to support mosques and other public buildings to install PVCs to contribute into reducing the country fuel high bill. At the Health level, the project is by reducing air pollutants emissions and thus becoming green is reducing the respiratory diseases and at the same time provide adequate water which is detrimental to having good hygiene.

Main Projects / Activities

WARMI: Warmi means Woman, in Quechua language.

The project is aimed at non-EU migrant women, with a residence permit and/or in the process of obtaining a community membership. Awareness actions are carried out in educational centres, equality spaces, libraries, cultural centres, etc. for groups.

What do we offer?
Individual psychological support
Leadership group: breakfasts and snacks among women
Awareness actions
We offer you a space to take care of yourself, to be heard and to listen, to have fun and to promote a change in the attitude of the Spanish population towards migration.

Can Do Refugees (ErasmusPlus):The aim of the project "Can Do Refugees 2.0." is to professionalize and to empower people working with refugees on a professional and voluntary basis. Therefore the project combines the experience of practitioners in NGO (VIA Bayern (Germany), Progestión (Spain), Euro Circle (France)) and the knowledge of universities (University of Thessaly (Greece), American University of Cairo (Egypt)). This consortium also reflects the route of refugees coming to Europe, often coming from Arabic speaking countries, using Egypt as a transit country and then coming through the Balkan route (Greece) or the Mediterranean route (Spain) to the destination countries France and Germany. The project will be present itself on a website and it's actual milestones on face book.
MoveEurope: Moveurope! is a KA2 project co-funded by Erasmus Plus that aims to promote and facilitate young refugees’ access to European and national mobility programs through a strengthened youth work framework. To do so, the partner organizations shall assume strong multiplier roles and shall inform youth workers on the existence and train them in the functioning of these tools to enable them to guide young refugees in their mobilities. To that scope, appropriate material for youth workers to inform themselves and in a second step for them to inform young refugees on the existing opportunities shall be developed and spread EU-wide.

At the same time the project wants to raise awareness for refugees’ inner-European mobility desire and the need for easily accessible channels on a political level, too, to trigger structural change and facilitated access of refugees to these channels.
Direct beneficiaries are youth workers, which include educators, social workers, mediators, refugee community leaders, youth facilitators who work with the target group of young refugees or who are active in the mobility area and want to open their activities to young refugees.
Increcendo Project: Through this project we offer people with addiction problems the social and relational support necessary to promote their full social integration.
What do we want to achieve?
With this goal in mind, we intend to achieve the job training of people with addiction disorder to improve their positioning in the job market. And we do this by attending to a series of phases
specific:

1. Dissemination in the resources of the Assistance Network of the Institute of Addictions and/or other resources of the municipal network.
2. Reception of referral reports.
3. Selection of the people who will participate in the project.
4. Training workshops in transversal competences.
5. Follow-up.
6. Evaluation.
