General Information
"Min Ort" was founded in late December 2016 by project manager and producer Said William Legue. He has starred in; ("Bron", "Ettor & Nollor", "Kniven I hjärtat") Said grew up in one of the less fortunate suburbs of Gothenburg and know firsthand what it meant to him to be given a chance. His breakthrough as a young actor was "Kniven i hjärtat" aired on the prestigious channel Swedish Television. When Said worked on the world premiere of "The young Zlatan" the idea of bringing and doing something to integrate the youth of the suburbs was born. In collaboration with Gothenburg’s film festival, Bergsjöskolan, Zentropa Sweden, Gothenburg Film Studios and Familjebostäder it all came to life. Said contacted director and screenplay writer Johan Melin known from; ("Preludium", "Child 44", "Utvandrarna" and "Profetia") and he shared Said´s vision of letting the younger generation tell their story thru the eyes of a camera. Together with a handpicked team of both professional film makers and volunteers and after school programs managers they casted 40 youths from all over the city ranging ages 13-20 and together they created "Min Ort- A Love story". Though out the process it grew beyond just making of a film, it also lead to a big soccer tournament and performances with Swedish rapper Erik Lundin at a Radio Event against violence. A documentary of behind the scene of "Min Ort" created by the group became a big success and was shown at Gothenburg Film Festival and later in theater’s. The process is innovative - when through deep interviews we take the starting point of the youth stories, and develop characters and manuscripts in collaboration with the young. We want to integrate youth and improve their self-esteem. The aim is to try and strengthen the young people's own stories, and give them inspiration and drive to tell stories themselves. We believe in a participant culture, where the participants are co-workers. We have already been able to see the positive effects of the film, how the project bounces hope and courage to follow their dream. Many of the young have themselves started making movies and pursuing with their own acting career and film interests.
Mission and Objectives

We are working to break the barriers. We work with integration. Two of our most important goals now. Is to lift up the woman’s, and integrate new arrivals.
We also have profesional dance teacher, profesional musican, profesional director, profesional actor, and recreation leaders from different areas in Gothenburg.
So the youths can work with the things they like. Learn how to write script. Learn how to make a movie, and study and being with the director under the moviemaking. Dance, music and other creative and culture things.
We want to build bridges, by using culture and creative things as tools.
We are working against the thing that have exploited in Sweden - We against them. And that youths don’t travel to others areas. They just stay at their own “territory’s”. So we want them to come out. And let them be creative, as they can’t in their “home base”. Also that they will se that it’s so much culture to see and learn of, all over the town, and the world!
We are all the same, is the most important thing!

Main Projects / Activities

We use film as an tool. Our concept is by using the film making. We can build bridges between youngsters all over the city and the different suburbs. It doesn’t matter of class, gender, ethnicity or religion. We are all the same! We are all human people. We invite youngsters from every suburb and different areas in Gothenburg, on a casting. They are cast by our director Johan Melin, who is a professional. And after that process, we start shooting the movie. This process builds bridges for the youths. Remember they are from different areas. And is this processing. They learn to work with each other. It doesn’t matter wich area you’re from, or ethnicity, class, gender etc. They work together.
"Min Ort" is all about unite the young from different suburbs, and the success made it possible for the next movie. The actors and talents from East Gothenburg followed and met with the young from Hisingen in the feature film "Min Ort - This is Sweden". This snowball effect continues from movie to movie. The film was premiered at the "Hising´s Festival" and was a feature film, where once again youths from all walks of life gathered under great creativity, joy and love. "Min Ort" also performed a full-featured performance on the big stage at Gothenburg amusement park Liseberg with the artist Lani Mo, under the theme Stop the violence. Now, the "My Ort" project continues with two new films in 2018. A TV series is under development and the constant focus on uniting the resorts and releasing the creativity of the young.
Our first film documentary - Min Ort (My Hood) (2017)

General Information

EKO is a newly founded non-governmental organization based in Athens, Greece. EKO’s team consists of a board of four members, among which the President, who  is the European Ambassador of Female Entrepreneurship, one youth worker and, depending on the period,  one or two volunteers through the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs program.  EKO’s financial sources include occasional funds of the Erasmus+ program and donations of members and friends of the organization, which are used to implement intercultural dialogue and KA1 youth mobility projects. Despite being a small organization, EKO has an extended network of partners across the Euromediterranean basin. Our organization is a member of the International Alliance for Peace and Development (IAPD), launched in September 2017 with members in 23 European and MENA countries, as well as a Euromediterranean Network of 11 civil society Youth Organizations (Y-NEMO).

Mission and Objectives

We believe that if one had to chose the top-two most serious challenges faced by the Greek society nowadays, answers would be unanimous: Firstly, youth unemployment  and economic obstacles as a result of the economic crisis and, secondly,  the xenophobic sentiments, cultural intolerance and exclusion created by the refugee-crisis. Our organization’s mission is to contribute to the creation of an inclusive society, free from prejudice and discrimination, which will be in the position develop and grow sustainably. To achieve this mission we focus on the following specific objectives: Empowering youth through non-formal education, training opportunities, life-long learning and fostering youth’s active participation and civic engagement Facilitating intercultural and interreligious awareness and solidarity, especially between Europe and MENA regions as well as within Europe, by providing dialogue platforms, and organizing cultural exchanges and tolerance trainings Strengthening cross-border civil society, by providing support, knowledge transfer and sharing of good practices, as well as by developing collaborative initiatives with our broad network of international partners

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

ΕΚΟ aspires to facilitate social progress through empowerment of youth, protection of vulnerable groups and fostering intercultural understanding and cooperation.  We are highly sensitized with regards to the creation and enforcement of communication channels and cooperation ties across the Euro-Med basin, as the most concerning issues these countries face (economic, refugee and humanitarian crisis) are highly interconnected, and call for collaborative solutions. Our ethic emphasizes the principles of inclusion, active citizenship and unity in diversity. Thus, we firmly believe that our vision, values and territorial scope fully comply with those of Anna Lindh foundation. EKO’s intent to join ALF Network  is based on our wish to: Become part of the, currently, largest-scale effort to bring together people and civil society actors across Euro-Med region, which ALF represents Develop a network of local partners and leverage our international level, to broaden the sphere of our influence and number of beneficiaries Facilitate our efforts to achieve intercultural solidarity, by utilizing ALF as a dialogue and cooperation  platform

General Information

- društvo v javnem interese (association with status "of public interest", 2 persons regular working, the others project-wise, 6 regular volounteers; Long-term partners in Germany, Austria and Italy as well as Croatia. - cca. 30.000 Euro/year - Erasmus+, national public funds, donations, sponsorships - regular discussions, youth exchanges, publications, media productions (European Creative Camp 016, 017; Voices 2015 - 2017, Int. Graffitti and Street-Art Festival STYRIA 2014 - 2017; refugees-welcome.si; etc.) - European Union, Future Icons e.V., Koermend Kulturalis Kozpont, European Center for the Study of War and Peace, Kai e.V., etc)

Mission and Objectives

Our overall mission could be descibed as educating people of any age to critically follow and assess everyday live situation. We try to work as much as possible with persons of different cultures, the last years more and more with young people from central Europe. All our porjects have one common denominator, intercultural dialogue and propagation of different points of views on matters of everyday life. There is not instrument of method we would not feel comfortable to use, if it is within our red line. We operate with social and political engaged arts and artists, we furthermore do represent the art movement Arte Utile and hold a approx. 60 years of Arte Utile archive, that we will start using within the next years to actively involve the public in confronting themselves with the concerns of our times in a multi-layered form. The objective of our associations work is a responsible, aware citizen.

Main Projects / Activities

Constant discussions within a group, we call "Zainteresirani" (engl the interested ones); with this group we work on local themes, we prepare policies for the city council, we coordinate the major part of the indipendent cultural scene of our region. Due to our national activities we cooperate with humanitarian and cultural associations all around Slovenia; Our major project focus during the last years are youth exchanges for the Erasmus+ Programm of the EU, which we conceive and execute in different countries of Europe. Locally we hold workshops, mainly for adults but lately also for pupils and students as well as we exhibit social an political engaged arts and artists.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Probably we could contribute with project ideas, with our national contacts within the school system as well as supporting the ALF to follow their interests, which goes hand in hand with our mission. Concretely we will have to see, where synergies are found, the projects that were years ago founded in Slovenia are, from a conceptional point of vies, very similar to the projects the ALF founded.  At the moment we try to find funds for the digitalisation of 60 years of archive of ARTE UTILE, their structuring as well as their publishing on internet to make it accessable to all intersted persons. Arte Utile is an art, that sees ist focus on contemporary social and political problems and tries to push it into a creative process of public dialogue, working on it, supporting to solve it. Arte Utile, as soon as the problem it worked on is solved, is merely a document and no more a work or art. In short, to propagade the perception of these possibilities within the field of contemporary art practices is an endeavour, I believe is or at least, should be also in the interest of the ALF.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

For being able to work within a wider network of similar organisations around Europe, to support our regional environment with perspectives and possibilities only networks like the ALF can produce.
