General Information
The Orestiadi Foundation is a no-profit Institute of Higher Culture founded in 1992 through a donation from his president Ludovico Corrao, is based in the Baglio Di Stefano in Gibellina (Sicily) The Foundation, which has since been enriched by further donations, continues the cultural activities first begun in 1968 when leading Italian and International artists were summoned to rebuild the city following devastation by earthquake and lend a hand in its profound reconstruction as an extraordinary home to works of art of all kinds. The Foundation features the participation of representatives from the regional authorities of , the municipality of Gibellina, local administrations and cultural associations. The Foundation sponsors and produces events in the worlds of theatre, visual arts, music and poetry, and sponsors scientific, publishing and professional training activities with a structure capable of providing a tangible contribution to the greater public appreciation and development of both the territory in which its activity is primarily based and other areas of the South Mediterranean
Mission and Objectives

The multicultural strategy of the Fondazione Orestiadi in Gibellina has been stimulated and confirmed by its own interdisciplinary activity. As far as figurative arts are concerned we have acted according to a project capable of seizing themes linked to the current cultural situation, monographic notes and comparisons between artists of different ethnic origins.
The central value pursued and emphasized through the expositive choices is of course that of  the coexistence of art, an essential value in such an age as ours in which selfishness and intolerance seem to prevail.
Thus, our expositive strategy has underlined the possibility of combining artistic presences originating from different continents, from Europe to Africa, to Asia etc., believing that in the linguistic research carried out by the artists of our age there exists a desire for communication which emphasises not so much territorial distinctions but rather the virtuality of anthropological roots extending in space and time.

Main Projects / Activities

In the context of its research into the cultural bonds between Mediterranean peoples, since 2000 the Orestiadi Foundation has continued developing a project for an itinerant exhibition “Islam in Sicily, a garden between two civilizations” dedicated to the influence of Islamic Culture in Sicily starting from the period of its Arabian domination.
This effort is sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and made possible by support from the Sicilian Regional Authorities.
The exhibition  set up  in Dar Bach Hamba in Tunis, and has been subsequently brought to both Cairo,Amman,  Damascus, Sana’a, Ryad , Doha, Islamabad,Karachi and Muscat.
The Foundation has participated at the Biennale Exhibition Art in Venice and displayed works at the Beaubourg Museum in Paris, exhibitions in  New York, London, Basle, Algiers, Beirut, Castel Del Monte (Italy), Matera(Italy), Forlì (Italy).

General Information

The Cyprus Refugee Council, is an independent, non for profit organization, established as the evolution of the Humanitarian Affairs Unit of the NGO Future Worlds Center. The Unit during its 11 years of operation had grown significantly to become the expert in Cyprus on refugee related issues, making it one of the main actors in Cyprus in the area. Besides implementing a UNHCR funded project since 2006 the Unit has implemented a considerable number of related projects under various funds such as UNVFVT, EU Commission funds, EPIM, ECRE, German Embassy and other. Given the growth of the Unit, the Board of Directors of the Future Worlds Center has supported its evolution into an independent entity, which focuses exclusively on issues related to refugees and asylum seekers as well as other inter-related issues. The independent entity with the name ‘Cyprus Refugee Council’ is the first NGO in Cyprus to focus primarily on refugees. The work carried out by the Unit as well as the existing team is in the process of being transferred on to the CyRC. The organization has a 6 member Board of Directors and 12 people staff. The CyRC's Team includes members who have over 10 years experience in refugee related work and a clear understanding of the population and the environment in Cyprus, including opportunities and challenges. The Team has been able to build significantly on its local knowledge and presence, and over the years it has shown its ability to gain the trust of persons of concern through the rapport established with the refugees and their communities in Cyprus. Furthermore, the team is considered by many national institutions as well as local and International/EU organisations, and NGOs as a credible and reliable source of information on related issues.    

Mission and Objectives

The Cyprus Refugee Council (CyRC) strives to safeguard, support and advocate for the rights of vulnerable groups in Cyprus, promoting their effective integration into the host society. Focusing on refugees, asylum seekers, detainees, trafficking victims and survivors of torture, CyRC works closely with the local society in order to provide quality services at the individual, community and policy level. CyRC aims to; • Promote human rights and social justice. • Contribute towards an inclusive society • Advocate for the rights of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants • Address social inequalities, poverty and exclusion • Combat racism, xenophobia, and discrimination  

Main Projects / Activities

What we do: Advocacy We advocate for the establishment and implementation of positive legislation, policies and practices, in accordance with International and European Law. This is carried out directly towards national, EU and International bodies, through evidence based advocacy. • Case management Our team of experts follows an inter-disciplinary approach, by providing individualized legal, social and psychological support to persons of concern with the aim to ensure access to rights, integration into the local communities and a satisfactory quality of life. • Community Work & Capacity Building At the community level, we pursue the empowerment of individuals and groups as well as their mobilisation, and meaningful participation in all aspects of society. For that purpose, we conduct trainings, workshops, seminars and other capacity building activities to persons of concern, other NGOs and professionals in the field, volunteers and members of local communities, authorities and policy makers. • Public Awareness We promote a positive and respectful public attitude towards vulnerable groups by encouraging open-mindedness, addressing marginalisation and discrimination of persons of concern and combating xenophobia and intolerance. Furthermore, we network with relevant civil society actors, educational institutions and media. • Research In the context of various projects, we undertake research activities in order to develop existing knowledge and conduct sound analysis of the cultural, political and economic context of population of persons of concern and their host communities as well as the community dynamics. Projects: 1. Strengthening Asylum is a project funded by the UNHCR Representation in Cyprus. The project aims to advocate for the enhancement of rights of asylum seekers and refugees, as well as to support, and encourage their integration into the Cypriot society. 2. Pilot Implementation of Alternatives to Detention (AtDs) of TCN in Cyprus, is a 2-year project funded by  the European Programme for Integration and Migration (EPIM). 3. Supporting Victims of Torture is a project funded by the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture. The project aims to support and promote the empowerment and rehabilitation of people who have been subjected to torture, inhumane, degrading treatment or punishment in their country of origin and/or in Cyprus. 4. The project “Co-creating a counseling method for refugee women gender-based violence victims” is funded by the European Commission Directorate-General Justice and Consumers.The projects overall aim is to inform, support and encourage reporting of refugee women GBV victims by offering them access to specific support service. 5. METs:This project is a European project between seven expert refugee rehabilitation centers. It aims in designing and testing an empowerment method for survivors of torture and victims of trafficking. The method will be presented through a conference to all expert centers in Europe.  

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Through our team's expertice in matters of refugees we can contribute to the development of a more peaceful and interculture society, with no social inequalities, racism, xenophobia and discrimination.  Refugees, are one part of the society that faces isolation and discrimination, and as our mission suggests we strive to safeguard and support the rights of vulnerable populations.  Furthermore, through advocacy work and our experience we can contribute to the development of policies and shared values that will bring cultures together.   

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Joining the ALF Network will give us the oportunity to meet other organizations to exchange knowledge and good practices.  Moreover, we hope to get funding oportunities that will allow us to utilize and impliment ideas and goals that will assist the quality of life of refugees in Cyprus. Lastly, we know that the ALF Network will open oportunities for CyRC to expand it's work and knowledge.

General Information

ethelon is a non-profit organization which was established in order to emphasize and promote the notion of volunteering within the Greek society. ethelon is the result of the merger between two non-profit organizations, Glovo and Volunteer4Greece, which were both founded in 2012 and remained active in parallel for four years. In May 2016, the two organizations merged and created a new one, aspiring to become the point of reference for volunteering in Greece.  

Mission and Objectives

We aspire to become the point of reference in terms of volunteering in Greece, thus providing every age and social group with the possibility to have access in volunteering events and activities, creating a suitable cooperation framework between NGOs and companies, so that society at large can benefit from it. Our objective is to establish volunteering as a way of life and a dominant value within the Greek society, making the best out of the skills of its members and creating a social net whose basic components will be its very members.

Main Projects / Activities

Through a wide range of activities, events and initiatives, we find, activate and bring together individuals, independent teams, institutions and companies with non-profit organizations, aiming to help them develop synergies, based on volunteering. Moreover, since 2015 we deside to organise the Career Fair.4all, an initiative to bring the Greek labor market close to people with disabilities. The 1st Career fair for people with disabilities in Europe.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We could organize Intercultural events or social actions that promote and advocate for mutual respect between different cultures, while supporting civil society. A good idea might be social cooking, hygiene kits, social graffiti. Also, we are participating in communities from all over the world, like Points of Light and we are trying to connect and help more than 280 NGO's from Greece and we are organizing or participating in a daily basis social actions, in order to help the society.  

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We strongly believe that our history represent our willing to collaborate and network, since we implement the 1st merge between two NGO's in Greece. Furthermore, we believe that bringing together citizens across the Mediterranean, so that to build trust and increase mutual understanding, between each other. This express our values and beliefs and we hope we will have the opportunity to join ALF's team!
