We are founders and members of Montenegrin Youth Forum - an umbrella youth organization, and also part of Network for education and development of social services for people with disabilities. We are member of Mladiinfo Network and observer member in European Youth Press.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Network isn't enough promoted in Montenegro and organisations aren't sure whom to contact and how to get information about it. We would work on promotion of the Network, its activities, values. We could also publish on our website www.mladiinfo.me different opportunities offered by Anna Lindh Foundation. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We have similar goals and interests as ALF Network and also same fields of work. Our target group are youth and we mainly work on their informing and education. We work a lot on youth mobility and we sent each year more than 30 youth abroad to spend time with other youth, learn, exchange, meet other cultures. We see this as creating more opportunities for youth from Montenegro. We would like to work more on networking inside the network, to get in touch with organisations members, collaborate on projects. Also we would like to get in touch with other networks, from other countries and establish cooperation.

Fields of Activity
  1. Arts
General Information
Hinterland is an art space which organises exhibitions of contemporary art from artists concerned with middle eastern cultures. The head of the organization is Gudrun Wallenböck, who is working together with three to four assistants - most of whom are students of art history. Besides this core team there are various artists who are related to the art space as well as a few international cooperation partners in Turkey, Iran, Irak, Pakistan, Syria and Marokko... There is no certain budgetary as hinterland has to apply for funding of the basic expanses again every year at the Federal Chancellery of Austria. Furthermore hinterland tries to find fundings for each single project.  
Mission and Objectives

By creating contemporary art exhibitions which bring middle eastern cultures into discusson hinterland is looking for new multidisciplinary approaches: not a typical “white cube“ gallery but a direct confrontation with art, culture, sociology, history and the present. It seeks international cultural exchange to deepen mutual understanding, break barriers and bring people together. An interdisciplinary art space for intercultural and intersocial communication: art as a universal language.
Hinterland wants to act as an intermediary for establishing an international cultural dialogue far from stereotypes : to build bridges that will allow insights into the cultural and artistic live in mostly unknown regions, namly an exchange between East and West.

Main Projects / Activities

The main activities of hinterland are the creation and the curating of exhibitions the research in certain fields as well as the organisation of international cooperations in order to bring exhibitions to Austria or to show exhibitions abroad. In addition to that hinterland is organising events like artist talks, concerts, artist studio visits, workshops or lectures.
Examples of succesfull projects are:
1) Where are We?
Artists (most of them living in Austrian) are invited to work on their personal understanding of identity: their personal perception or their historical and/or image of a “national” identity.
Artists: Azra Akšamija, Vooria Aria, Carla Degenhardt, Siegfried A. Fruhauf, Clemens Krauss, Constantin Luser/Stefan Arztmann, Lisl Ponger, Frenzi Rigling, Gabriele Sturm, Niko Wahl, Nives Widauer/Ilma Rakus
shown in Tehran (Iran) 2015, Vienna (Austria) 2015, Lahore (Pakistan) 2016, Islamabad (Pakistan) 2016
2) Being Kurdish
"Being kurdish" was the title of a group exhibtion which gathered reflections on kurdish identity through art. The project brought together a huge variety of backgrounds of the artist as well as variety of media.
The aim was to include artists from the different geographical regions of Kurdistan, artists with Kurdish
roots who emigrated as well as artists with no Kurdish roots. All of them realized works of various media that reflect, deconstruct, study, try to understand or tell personal stories on the question "What does it meen to be Kurdish?".
3) Restrictions of the Earth
Characteristics of life on earth transform completely and the sense of belonging is damaged or extinct due to the dynamism of people between geography and culture. The yearning for a world without restrictions has become a struggle for survival in the form of physical and bureaucratic boundaries. This “rootlessness” triggers creativity in the mould of resistance and expressive forms. How do distance and coordinates, memory and historical perception, identification and habits, yearnings and hope, encapsulate themselves within artistic expression? The exhibition ‘Restrictions of the Earth’ engages artists whom first hand have experienced the socio-dynamic shift.
Artists: Osman Kader Ahmed, Vooria Aria, Khadija Baker, Adel Dauood, Niştiman Erdede, Murat Gök, Bahram Hajou, Fatoş Irwen, Azad Nanakeli, Şefik Özcan, Walid Siti

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

As the main aim of hinterland is to provide intercultural exchange also with non European countries in the Mediterranean area like Marokko, Turkey or Aegypt to only name a few it goes hand in hand with the objectives of the Anna Lindth-Foundation.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We hope that by joining the ALF we get new ideas and possibilities for international cooperations as well as the chance for proper fundings for our projects. Unfortunately it is very hard to convince local government who is giving most of the grants in Austria of the importance of intercultural work. We hope that an internatioanl network that is sharing our aim like the ALF can support us.

General Information
DRCY is an independent youth organisation under DRC. DRCY is organized in a number of volunteer-driven steering and thematic committees. The volunteer-driven activities are supported and facilitated by a secretariat, including 18 full-time advisors. The youth volunteers are the core force of the DRCY activities, a concept which underline the capacities of both the volunteers as the staff and their ability to engage support youth in their active involvement as volunteers. Our budgetary resources and sources of funding can be found through the following link: https://issuu.com/ungdommensroedekors/docs/aarsrapport_2015 In our international activities the DRCY acts as one Red Cross society with the Danish Red Cross and our efforts always aim to support the national Red Cross/Crescent partners and other partners to sustainably carry out the work in their own territory. In addition to local reach, being part of the International Federation of The Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) gives DRCY a global potential. Partnering with the IFRC, our effort to strengthen youth capacity and involvement is global. Aligned with and in support of the IFRC strategy 2020 attention on Youth action, DRCY strive for youth influence and inclusion within the entire Red Cross/Red Crescent movement and beyond.
Mission and Objectives

The DRCY work towards supporting the most vulnerable children and youth. This mission stems from the seven Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement:
The 7 fundamental principles of the Red Cross are:
Humanity
Impartiality
Neutrality
Independence
Voluntary service
Unity
Universality
Since 2008, the international activities of the Danish Red Cross Youth (DRCY) have proliferated and grown in several new directions. From a focus on cultural exchange youth programmes, new activities have increasingly engaged in youth-focused development projects, gradually building a competence in working with ever more vulnerable youth groups in Africa, the Middle East, Greenland and Europe
The priorities od the DRCY international activities aims to further expand international activities while developing core competencies in working with the most vulnerable youths and in strengthening youth influence on their own lives, their communities and the global Red Cross Movement. This builds directly on the strategic ambitions in the general DRCY’s Strategy on expanding activities, targeting more vulnerable groups and enhancing quality and social impact of DRCY’s programmes in Denmark and abroad.
The Danish Red Cross Youth apply a holistic approach to enable youth to pursue healthy viable lives and seek influence upon and inclusion within their societies. Doing this, we will advocate for a strengthened attention to youth development, showing that youth can act as key partners in development, if only we invest in their potential.

Main Projects / Activities

DRCY has vast experience with the coordination and cooperation with local stakholders and authorities through national activities such as summer camps, mentor projects, telephone hotlines, sport and health projects, support for children at asylum and women crisis centers and so on. DRCY has substantial experience within international projects, dating back to 1986 and currently working on youth projects in Palestine, Jordan, Zimbabwe, Greenland and Europe. Within the technical field of youth work DRCY has a strategic focus on youth engagement and development. DRCY works through a multidimensional approach addressing youth as leaders, as volunteers, and as beneficiaries by employing participatory and evidence-based methodologies. DRCY's core competencies are life skills, peer-to-peer support and gender responses, vital in responding to the needs of young people as volunteers, leaders and beneficiaries. In addition the DRCY has a great deal of experience and expertise in organisational youth development that encourages youth engagement and influence, youth leadership development as well as ensuring a special attention to youth as beneficiaries. In DRCY projects nationally and internationally there is a focus on sustainability of the activities. In Denmark, DRCY has been one of the leading and innovative civil society organizations in collaborating with local authorities.

General Information
Arthropology is a private, self funded collective of international artists focused on Journeys of necessity. From West african migrants to Syrian refugees we partner with NGOs like Greenpeace and the Red Cross to create installations detailing the why's and who's behind human migrations. Our first project SENEGAL:Econimic migration was shown on three continents in 2012. The number of members has now grown to 6 with the addition of four filmmaking professionals including Mike Jackson at Paramount studios LA and Fady Farran cinematographer in Beirut. We are experimenting with film and have a feature film in the works alopng with an installation featuring DISPLACED CREATIVES.
Mission and Objectives

The intention of our group is to promote awareness to under reported segments of society and the difficulties they are experiencing. Using art to transend the 'media clip' or 'sound bite' mentality of todays busy world creates space for reflection and interaction from which empathy can begin to grow. We pride ourselves in being submersed in whatever it is we are researching often spending many months living among those we are studing.
Our mission is best stated by Bill Moyers when he said "Our very lives depend on the ethics of strangers, and most of us are always strangers to other people."

Main Projects / Activities

The Book of Journeys is an ongoing series of travel narratives, short stories and images detailing our installation work. The work is the blanket under which most of Arthrpology's pieces are created. Our  Senegal project was begun in Dakar and we folloed migrants to North Africa then the Spanish enclaves and finally to Europe, it took one year.
The last two years have been devoted to a series of both non fiction and fictional pieces on Syria and the civil war there. Some of these works include a feature film script, a novel and an installation. 
We are also beginning to look towards central Africa for our next work on WATER.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Since our practice is one of collaboration we are always sharing ideas and knowledge with artists we are in contact with. Our current project has the potential to aid newly arriving artists from the Middle East by highlighting their experiences and giving them exposure they would not find in their countries of origin. If we are to make our art our voice the louder that voice can project the greater its affect on our societies.

As our premise is always to break down walls we constantly are seeking new intellectual dialogs to engage ourselves in, being a member of ALF we believe would only aid us in making that happen for both creatives and 'others' in our society.

General Information

Ungdom Mot Rasism (Youth against Racism), or UMR, is an anti-racist civil society organisation. It organises children and young people in the fight for a more anti-racist Sweden. They do this through political influence, local organisation, educational activities and grassroots activism.

UMR has been around since 1996. In 2018, the union reappeared in a new national organisation.

Mission and Objectives

Ungdom mot Rasism is a youth organisation for everyone up to 30 years who believe in equal rights and want to organise for an open society free of racism. We are an organisation by and for young people.

Ungdom Mot Rasism has no political affiliations. We work against racism and xenophobia and for democracy and diversity. We use peaceful methods such as dialogue and education. UMR aims for a society where everyone has the right and opportunity to define themselves such as they want to. A society that values democracy and equality, and where discriminatory and excluding structures are identified and challenged. A society that makes a stand for inclusion and openness and where intolerance and unequal power structures are not accepted.

Main Projects / Activities

UMR works with non-formal education as a method for educating members, school students, as well as other organizations and actors. We believe that the dissemination of knowledge about racism, its history and its current existence is a way for us to fight it. Organizing locally is key at UMR, and activists are located in different parts of Sweden. In a local group, study circles on racism or post-colonialism are common, but also external trainings and lectures, demonstrations or paying special attention to important days in the fight against racism.

The overall organisation also has smaller projects across Sweden and arranges campaigns and seminars as well as working with advocacy and public debates.
