General Information
As a peace and dialogue initiative, Marmara Group Foundation continues its efforts since 1985. Marmara Group Foundation as a possessor of civil thought philosophy is a force that strives to produce common solutions to common problems through creating campaigns to pressure decision making organs. Accordingly it is one of the new geopolitical actors of globalization. Furthermore, it is an institution that is widely recognized by the international civil initiative realm and it is an important part of the international relations system and the today's geopolitical structure This evaluation might be a little exaggeration but the fact that civil society organizations are amongst the important geopolitical actors in today's world is beyond doubt. With a broader assessment Marmara Group Foundation regards participation as an important intellectual area of social transformation. We believe participation is the main principle of globalization and democracy. As Marmara Group Foundation we also believe that global thinking creates an intellectual sphere within the values of civil society. Therefore, the existence of civil society, combined with globalization has now become one of the tools of sustainable democracy and economic development and hence the progress.

General Information
The Artistic Center The House next door(A Casa ao Lado), in the development of its activities has focused a significant part of its work on the creation of a platform of projects with Institutions, Municipalities and Associations related to the area of Social and Cultural Dynamization. These projects consist of actions in the area of development of Artistic Education, Social Inclusion through Art and Urban Interventions. A Casa ao Lado is an UNESCO Club. The House next door has as its mission the support for the development of technical skills linked to the arts, through the promotion and promotion of the improvement of people's capacities. It consists of qualified human resources with experience in the arts area, namely in technical areas, and knowledgeable of the added value inherent to materials and their applications. Through contact with audiences of different age groups, groups with greater social vulnerability, with a view to facilitating the encounter and dialogue between different social groups, age, cultural, equal opportunities and strengthening social and territorial cohesion, detected the need to bring this type of knowledge and motivation to the population.  The ability, of The House next door, to convert ideas into realities and leisure is a strategy and a competitive requirement.Being The House next door, interventional with and for the Community, faced over the years with the lack of understanding of the Community towards the importance of the historical evolution of the Graphism of Man, thinking the same as urban interventions were something of the current.  In this context, the Interpretive Center of Graphics arises – Labyrinth of the Arts, one of A Casa ao Lado's Projets. The Labyrinth of the Arts aims to reinforce some of the contents covered in school curricula, introducing concepts that are usually more absent from this sphere, allowing to create lasting and stimulating bridges between school and non-school learning, in a creative and appealing way.  Is it possible to go around the world of Art History in a creative maze? Travel for different times, know customs and discover techniques kept as a secret for centuries? From Rock Art to the Art of the 19th Century. XXI, the Labyrinth of the Arts aims to be a learning space based on the development of Graphism, where artistic movements, artists, aesthetics and styles of the most diverse horizons are presented in a creative journey.  The space seeks to enhance factors such as creativity, individual expression and capacity for representation, fostering the discovery of artistic movements through theoretical explanations and practical works related to each presented season. In the artistic intervention projets, A Casa ao Lado has several Projets with the Comunity. The team of A Casa ao Lado has 4 plastic artists, 1 designer and 1 person from art and heritage. A Casa ao Lado works with private institutions, city halls, schools, cultural centers.    
Mission and Objectives

Main Projects / Activities

Some of our Artistic Projets  with the Comunity
A TRACE FOR MAGALHÃES
Regarding the commemorations of the Fifth Centenary of the First World Tour (2019-2022), as well as Fernão de Magalhães, also the project “A TRACE by Magalhães”, considered it possible for the Portuguese Community spread throughout the world to leave its “mark” through Community artistic interventions.
URBAN YOUTH
"Urban Youth" is an urban intervention project in partnership with the Youth House of Famalicão that aims to promote the encounter and dialogue between young people from 12 to 35 years, in order to strengthen social and territorial cohesion through art. In order to promote artistic activity as an instrument of economic, social and cultural development, the "Urban Youth" project also has as its objective the valorisation of urban spaces through artistic interventions.
TRACE
Project, titled "TRACE" - Urban Art Intervention - Towers of Lameiras Buildings, sought to provide access to new forms of art and information to young residents, enhancing their social integration and citizenship, thus overcoming the situation of imminent social exclusion in which they were.
Winning project of "Networking" 2017 by the Municipality of V.N.Famalicão.
LUSÍADAS
Urban community intervention in 20 banks of Rua Luís de Camões, in Famalicão, with the graphic narrative of the 10 stories of the "Lusíadas".
MARK - Interventions in school spaces, so that each student leaves his mark and at the same time requalify-transform your school.
Labyrinth of the Arts
In the Labyrinth of the Arts, visits are made by the light of a lantern that illuminates the route and leads the look through the murals, creating a special surrounding. The new interpretive center of graphics has ten rooms depicting different periods, duly contextualized by the guide: first, a Paleolithic cave, followed by a long time corridor that runs through the Metal Age, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Neoclassicism, Impressionism and the different artistic movements of the 19th century. XX (Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Pop Art…). In the end, there is also a reproduction of a work by Vhils, probably the best known Portuguese urban artist today. A note to recognize the inexhaustible need to record and communicate through murals.
The Paleolithic Year
The visit to the Labyrinth of the Arts, with about two hours, has always associated a workshop. Each year, theoretical and practical activities will be concentrated at one time for a deeper approach. Until April 2020, the focus is on the Paleolithic, joining the Côa Museum to hold lectures and exhibitions on rock art. During the week, the interpretative center only hosts school, on Saturdays, the doors are open to the community, to realize, after all, that this painting of walls had been done for thousands of years.
 
 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

we will seek to enable access to new forms of art and information to participants in our artistic interventions, enhancing their social integration and citizenship, also seeking to enhance their knowledge for different graphic techniques and enhance the evolution of Graphism over time.

General Information
Azimut is a non-profit organization broadcasting artists from the Arab worlds which objective is to give them more visibility and to show contemporary realities from the Arab worlds through arts.
Mission and Objectives

The project was born out of a meeting between two young women and their passion for art. Linked to the Arab world through our stories and life course, we follow very closely the news, the challenges the people have to face, and the tools and spaces of expression that arise in this contemporary context. We are both passionate about art and convinced of its capacity to encourage a better understanding of the other, and thus a greater tolerance. Located between Morocco, Algeria, Andalusia and Marseille, we created a network of cultural actors and artists from the Mediterranean South Shore that allowed us to launch the activities of Azimut in Seville.

Main Projects / Activities

Through the organization of multidisciplinary event (Azimut's Creative Encounters on the Arab Worlds) in Seville, AZIMUT aims to show works by young artists, new writings and new formats in order to present realities that are not very visible through official channels. The objective of these Encounters is not to essentialize an Arab identity but to show its diversity. Art has the particularity of being a permanent laboratory of inventions, and in territories in crisis, it seems necessary to invent new forms of expression. Artistic creation allows individuals to speak for themselves, to formulate ideas and feelings that are often difficult to express. Artists are social actors influenced by the cultural, social and political context in which they live, and often engaged in the issues of their time. As much as the artist is influenced by society,his works influence it in return.
The works shown will be selected either for their innovative forms of expression or for the message or information they want to convey. We seek to ensure that each work is the subject of reflection and debate with the public and the artist who will be present.
In addition, the dissemination of these works is for AZIMUT a form of support for the freedom of expression of these artists, for whom it is often difficult to create and express in a free manner, sometimes subject to censorship.
The Creative Encounters on the Arab Worlds are a multidisciplinary event taking place for a week in Seville. These Encounters are an opportunity to give voice to a lively and creative youth. Through these few days dedicated to the creative effusion of contemporary Arab worlds, we wish to create spaces and times for exchanges and sharing with artists from both shores and audiences from diverse backgrounds to become aware of the diversity of faces of these worlds we call Arab.Through the creations of emerging artists, there is the desire to write new narratives, new stories about contemporary Arab worlds, to overtake common beliefs. It is a question of giving to see and  hear geographical territories not to enclose them in frozen mental borders. Arts appeared to us as the best medium. 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Based between Spain, France, Algeria and Morocco, the AZIMUT team has developed a network of cultural and artistic actors throughout the Mediterranean basin. She would like to be able to share this network and expand her own. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The ALF network seems to us to be a reference network on issues of democracy and living together in the Mediterranean. We would like to share our ideas and enrich them by meeting other actors whose values we share. In addition, we are interested in the voice of today's youth.
