General Information
NESEHNUTI is non-hierarchical organisation with about 10 people with full-time job and another 15 person with part-time job. We work with many volunteers and also with partners from abroad (f.e. in a program Initiative Way we work in countries in Caucasus and support locla initiatives (in Georgia, Armenia and also Ukraine). Most of our work is covered by grants, we also have individual donors. We have very serious ethical codex so we don´t receive money from any company. We focus on human rights and partly on protecting environment. Our topics are: supporting initiatives abroad, women rights, supporting people from abroad living in Czech Republic, local activism in the area of city planning etc. 
Mission and Objectives

As a social and ecological non-governmental organisation, we work principally on the basis that ecological and social problems have shared causes and consequences which must be resolved. All our activities aim to show that social change based on respect for people, animals and nature is possible, and, most importantly, must be led from below. Therefore, we support people who are interested and engaged in what’s happening around them and who consider responsibility for life on our planet as an integral part of their own freedom. We work independently of party and economic interests, using strictly non-violent means

Main Projects / Activities

The Initiative Way
We support active people abroad, primarily, though not exclusively, in the southern Caucuses, Transnistria and Belarus. We help local activists create a civic society and protect human rights, animal rights and the environment. We organise educational seminars, help find financial aid, provide long-term support for projects and campaigns and arrange educational trips to the Czech Republic. For more information about The Initiative Way, visit www.cestainiciativy.cz, www.initiativeway.org
Together Towards Diversity
Together Towards Diversity opens up debate about migration and refugees in the Czech Republic, the issues surrounding it, the associated prejudices and the lack of respect frequently shown by the majority of society. Through educational and informative activities, we hope to work together to look for answers to topical questions and to learn what a multicultural life, outside the world of media bubbles and prejudice, looks like in specific locations. We are currently leading a campaign for public health insurance for foreigners. Our goal is for legislative change so that migrant groups with long-term Czech residency are included in public health insurance. For more information about Together Towards Diversity, visit: www.spolecnekrozmanitosti.cz
Women’s Rights are Human Rights
The programme aims to create a space in which attitudes related to stereotypical notions about the role of women and men in society can change, and problems resulting from these ideas (gender discrimination in the workplace, violence against women, the beauty myth etc.) can be resolved. Our goal is for women and men in our society to be able to develop according to their abilities, rather than according to what is expected of a man or woman. In order to achieve this, we organise lectures and workshops for schools and the general public and we have touring exhibitions. We are also running the campaign ‘Against Sexism in the Streets.’ As part of this campaign we hold the Sexist Piggy contest. To find out more about this programme, visit: www.zenskaprava.cz
Civic Eye
Our goal is to encourage public participation in the planning and decision-making surrounding projects which may impact the natural environment. We support initiatives and active individuals by connecting and strengthening their local campaigns. We organise educational and motivational workshops and can provide long-term support or focus intensively on selected causes. For more information about the Civic Eye programme:  www.obcanskeoko.cz.

General Information
The African-Israeli Stage is an Israeli NGO, that recognises long-standing structural inbalances in the manner by which the arts – particularly arts that originate from Africa – are promoted and presented to the public. Chairman Prof. Avraham Oz, Actors and artists work for artistic payment while CEO volunteers her salary. Budget comes from Municipalities as well as from sponsoring companies with interest in Human Rights ans Arts. The Theatre repertoire portrays African plays focusing on contemporary and classical creation of African playwrights and authors, as well as plays portraying the experience of immigrants, migrant workers and refugees. Company highlights include performing "A Dance of the Forests", written by Wole Soyinka, Nobel Prize laureate at Habima Theatre, July 2014;  'The Lion and the Jewel' by Wole Soyinka, February 2012 at "Södra Theatre" in Stockholm; November 2010, at The National Theatre of Nigeria in Lagos; The Edinburgh Festival, where it received good critics for its performance. Artistic work includes focus on  marginalized communities as the Asylum seekers from Darfur and Sudan and Ethiopian immigrants' everyday struggles. Recently we have introduced "Little Africa", a series of Soirees which present a curated cross-section of arts and culture from across Africa and the African diaspora, including but not limited to visual arts, literature and non-fiction writing, poetry, dance, theatre, and cinema.   
Mission and Objectives

The African Israeli Stage,  sees its role as a supporter of African culture; it seeks to contribute to the cultural ‘conversation’, rather than dominate it; it takes a positive, rather than critical perspective on African culture (and by extension, on Africa itself); and ultimately, it looks to enrich the Israeli culture discourse, by helping creating a space within it for African arts and culture, as well as for minority culture. The strength and unique quality of the African-Israeli Stage is in creating opportunities for inter-cultural contacts. The professional ensemble of actors, musicians and creators include among its participants veteran Israelis, Ethiopian immigrants, African immigrants, Asylum seekers and Israeli-Palestinian actors, who transcend their daily existences to create a community of understanding and acceptance without minimizing the differences and conflicts that exist across different cultural and religious identities.

Main Projects / Activities

Our Productions:
The Lion and the Jewel - Written by Prof. Soyinka, Nigeria;
The Case of the Illiterate Saboteur - Written by Hama Tuma, Ethiopia;

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

1. We can contribute to the Israeli cultural conversation, rather than dominate it, by taking a positive, rather than critical perspective on African culture.
2. We can share our accumulated knowledge of the situation of various minority groups in Israel.
3. We can broaden the perspectives of local Israeli audiences to the breadth and richness of new cultural production about, and referencing, Africa.
4. We can be used as go -between to stregthen the concepts of Human Rights and right of minority groups to their cultural aspects of language and arts.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The main reason we seek for membership in ALF, is Not to work alone, to have partners for collaborations,  as well as developing and sharing ideas.and cultural initiatives.
 
We find that the ALF targets aim at similar perspectives, as we in AIS -African Israeli Stage work for.
 
We believe that the best way to succeed in our Cultural work, is by bridging and empowering minority communities in Israel. This is best done, by networking with other Israeli as well as international organizations.
