General Information
SAMAR Media (corporate name: ZSCJ Media Limited) is a Limited Liability Company registered in Cyprus. It mainly operates from Lebanon and covers the whole MENA region. SAMAR Media is headed by Ziyad Clot and Jana Jabbour. Its staff includes 4 employees working from Beyrouth, Cairo and Paris and a network of free-lancers throughout the MENA region. Its yearly budget is within the range of 100,000/150,000 EUR and is generated by sponsorship revenues, grants and donations.  SAMAR’s most recent web programs “Me & My country, 5 years into the Arab uprisings”, “Rap Generation: the Beat of the Street” and “Arabic Dialects” have generated more than 1,5 million views since the start of the year 2016. SAMAR Media often partners with other media outlets, which relay its web programs to wide audiences worldwide. It has worked with international news websites such as The Guardian, France 24, El Pais, The Christian Science Monitor, Jaddaliya etc. SAMAR also coordinates on a project-basis with local actors (NGOs, universities, local institutions) to organize on the ground events such as workshops, conferences or debates on both sides of the Mediterranean.
Mission and Objectives

SAMAR is a web media organization dedicated to the Arab world. It produces and broadcasts videos on the internet in Arabic, English and French and aims to make knowledge, arts and culture available to the widest audience. SAMAR’s main editorial goal is to address the realities and underlying dynamics which are reshaping the Arab region, rather than to cover its most sensational stories. SAMAR also promotes a more positive image of the Arab region and its people through inspiring individuals and innovative projects. SAMAR shares this aspiration with the widest number in the MENA region: SAMAR also finally offers to its followers the opportunity to share their video production and picks with its growing online community.

Main Projects / Activities

Since 2012, SAMAR Media has produced and broadcast more than 200 videos as part of the following web programs:
Tahrir, my revolution, The Cartoonists of the Arab world, The Arab Summer, This is Palestine, Turkey and the Arab World, The New Arab media, The Lebanese of West Africa, Me and my Country: 5 Years into the Arab Uprisings, Rap Generation: The Beat of the street, Arabic Dialects.
These web video series have generated more than 3 million views on the Internet.
SAMAR also regularly organizes public screenings of these series. In June 2016, SAMAR Media also held a conference and a concert at the Villa Méditerranée in Marseilles on the theme « Exile & Migrations in the Mediterranean ». This public event featured musicians and Spoken Words artists from the Arab region and experts of migration issues.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

SAMAR’s media coverage follows a ‘Slow Media’ approach and its video production emphasises the positive energies and creativity of the Arab world and its diaspora. With an ambition to strengthen intercultural dialogue throughout the Mediterranean, SAMAR hopes to develop a synergy with Anna Lindh’s network members in order to shed light on the potential of Mediterranean societies and contribute positively to the many challenges faced in this region.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Pan-Arab editorial approach of SAMAR Media led us to work on many projects in and outside the MENA region. We are aware that many challenges Arab countries face today (migrations, security, environment etc.) are shared throughout the Mediterranean zone. However, the perception of these challenges and the way they are addressed often tend to vary from one side of the Mediterranean to the other. Developing partnerships around the Mediterranean with ALF network members will allow SAMAR to cover these challenges through the lens of a regional perspective. Thus, we hope to multiply in the future events that embody a multicultural vision of leading issues related to the Mediterranean region. Joining the ALF Network is an important step towards this ambition.

Stichting Music WorksProjects with refugees and music professionals Organisation structure: Board (3) Director  Coordinator Jordan Workshopleaders Jordan (5) Creative leader Trainer team (5) Volunteers (25) Yearbudget: 90.000€ Funding sources: - Cultural funds - Benefit concerts - Private donations Main Partners: WarChild UK Conservatorium Amsterdam UNRWA Music Works is the privitization of the project formerly known as Syrious Mission, nl.
Mission and Objectives

Music Works is the result of a request done by UNICEF for Jordans refugeecamp in 2013: "Please come and do something musical with all these kids." As professional musicians and entrepeneurs we decided to create a sustainable structure to add to the existing NGO activities.
We train young local musicians and conservatory students to do music workshops with children in refugeecamps in Jordan and the Netherlands.
We partner with NGO's that do psycho-social support programs, but lack funds for music activities. (f.e. WarChild uk).
This way we:
1. enable young local musicians to work in the NGO environment, broadening their career prospects.
2. enforce the psycho-social support programs of strong NGO's with music activities
3. support hundreds of refugee children weekly in the development of a strong and versatile personality
We strongly believe in the collaboration with existing NGO's, combining resources to reach as many children possible, while keeping all costs low. 
Exchange knowledge in the the proces, essential in the fast changing environment of a refugeecamp.

Main Projects / Activities

1. The Music Workshops, Jordan, Zaatari Camp
Weekly workshops for the children in district 7 and 10 of Zaatari Camp Jordan.
The children in our programs learn to create/compose songs and play several instruments.
The results are presented during family day Concerts in the camp every 3 months.
2. Music Works Project Week
Every summer we organize the Music Works Project Week with Amsterdams Conservatory:
Our Jordanian workshopleaders meet our dutch team, take masterclasses in didactics and exchange experiences. Connecting and rooting our values.
The workshopleaders and tutors stay in touch during the year by monthly Skype sessions.

3. Jebel music
Our expert selection of musicians/trainers from the Netherlands organise workshop weeks for refugees, followed by grand concerts. Started as the Jebel Music Spring Concert in 2009 in partnership with UNRWA. Now focuses mainly on the refugees in the Netherlands. 
Projectplan upon request!

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Share/ exchange experiences from the camp, grass-root level point of view combined with the diplomatic and policy challenges we face. Think-tanks, collaborations and most importantly a very up to date image of the cultural development within the NGO world of the middle-east and its possibilities in europe/netherlands.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Our organization strifes to grow by learning from and exchanging with other professionals, from different and similar backgrounds. The ALF has a reputation of bringing people/leaders together in a very kind way. I have experienced this myself at the start of our organization. And participated in brainstormsessions. A very inspiring event.
Also ALF invited us when we were still in our start-up phase: Syrious Mission.
Now as a professional independant organisation it would be great to give back some knowledge. And possibly support young professionals and startups too.

General Information
UNSA Andalucia is a regional federation with various locations spread throughout the Andalusian community in Spain, its main location being Seville. As a federation, it counts on three local delegations in the cities of Seville, Malaga and Granada. The Federation leadership relies on a Regional Executive Board of Directors, staffed as follows:   President Vice-President Regional Training Director Institutional Relations Director Financial and Legal Director Organization and Quality Director Secretary Each UNSA local delegation has a unique legal personality (as well as the federation itself), and it’s staffed as follows:   President Vice-President (Optional) Regional Training Responsible Institutional Relations Responsible Secretary The number of regional charges may vary depending on the needs of the delegations, and their dependence on the federation of UNSA Andalusia. The Delegations of UNSA Andalucía are tied to the federation legally. UNSA Andalucía acts as a catalyser for major events and activities considered to be better developed at a regional level, coordinating resources of every UNSA delegation. It develops its annual planning in conjunction with every UNSA delegation in the three major cities mentioned above, being one of its priorities to help every delegation achieve their own goals in terms of activities putting resources at their disposition. Each UNSA delegation contributes with a number of affiliates, which numbers are ever-growing, given that the federation encounters itself in a period of expansion. The numbers are distributed as follows: Seville: 7 Granada: 11 Málaga: 15   Budgetary resources available in a year The fiscal year of 2015 counted on a budgetary estimate of 15.000 euros.   Sources of funding At a regional and state  level, public grants from the Andalusian Youth Institute (AYI) of the Andalusian Department for Equality and Social Well Being, INJUVE. At an European level, grants from the European Commission on youth, active citizenship and democracy promotion events are on the works for the coming fiscal year (k1, k3..) UNSA Andalucia also sustains itself financially through the charging of fees to its members, and the delivering of academic programs and courses throughout the year. Modalities of action (concrete projects, exchanges, seminars, scholarships etc.) Concrete projects - mainly directed to promote activities in consonance with the ODG UN development goals -. Ex: Peace Day Concerts partnering with the Three Cultures Foundation, solidarity breakfasts in conjunction with a number of NGO’s.. Seminars and conferences on topics related to common global issues (inmigration, economy, health, democracy promotion, youth issues..) Continued education (on debate, communication and international relations matters for the youth). Structured Dialogues (South European International Model of United Nations) Main partners involved in the organization's projects/activities UNSA Andalucia enjoys framework agreements on inter-agency collaborations with: The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Andalusian Government (regionally, locally), The Three Cultures Foundation of the Mediterranean, the Real Instituto Elcano, the EuroArab Foundation, UNICEF, etc..
Mission and Objectives

UNSA Andalucia’s mission is to increase the interest of the Andalusian youth in politics, international relations, communication and oratory and in the work of international and supranational organizations in general, the United Nations Organization concretely.
As concrete goals, our organization aims:
- To foster the impact of a knowledgeable youth in the development of democracy, representation and civic engagement.

- To help create responsible and ethical leaders of tomorrow. By democratizing access to quality education in the fields of international relations and effective communication.

- To foster the creation of a network of pioneer institutions to develop strategies to improve human development, democracy and the UN ODG goals through networks.

Main Projects / Activities

Our main activities can be differentiated into three categories:

Structured dialogues for the youth
Our main activity is the South European International Model of United Nations (SEIMUN)
SEIMUN is a United Nations simulation, an international encounter of students from countries the world over, who decide to spend a few days representing a given State at a council of importance in International Relations, assuming the roles of diplomats, ambassadors, and heads of states.
This conference is a fantastic opportunity to see the politicised nature of international politics and bureaucratic operating of the various organisations that try to solve these global problems, including comittees simulating the United Nations Security Council, UNESCO, the World Bank and, for the first time ever, the Union for the Mediterranean (UpM).
The topics adressed throughout the simulation will vary, and tackle multiple issues from developmental aid to Afghanistan after the withdrawal of the ISAF forces to Addressing the root causes of irregular migration and forced displacements in 2015’s edition.
In this year’s edition, we counted +250 delegates, ranging between 18-30 years, coming mainly from the South of Europe and Central Asia.
The first SEIMUN was organised reaching agreements of support with the Union for the Mediterranean (UpM), Tres Culturas Foundation (Tres Culturas del Mediterráneo), ANUE (The Spanish Association for the United Nations, based in Barcelona), Real Instituto Elcano, as well as multiple regional governmental institutions and universities.
The next edition, being the city of Granada the venue, is intended to outgrow Seville’s edition in terms of budgetary resources, participants and support from entities. You can see attached a memory of the event with this application.

Education
Continued Courses

We hold a record of continued courses on communication, oratory, and Model of United Nations framework knowledge, which we intend to continue in the next fiscal year. These courses were held in Seville, being the Three Cultures Foundation the main location, and were distributed from October 2015 to April 2016.

This next year every UNSA delegation will have a tailored planning to implement the courses throughout the three cities.
Main Course
We are in the process of implementing and delivering a whole course on International Relations and the United Nations, developing a tailored course syllabus in conjunction with pioneer experts on the subject, to comply with our aim to democratise the expertise on international matters amongst the youth. This course already counts with full institutional support (regional) and will be supported on public grants and the charge of a symbolic fee by its participants. It is intended to launch on February 2016.

Activities
- Peace Day Concert partnering with the Three Cultures Foundation and Institutional stakeholders.
 
- Conference on Immigration and Asylum, partnering with pioneer academic institutions and experts on the subject, to comply with the aim of generating interest amongst the Andalusian youth on international issues.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

UNSA Andalucía has a broad though short experience winning public grants awarded on competitive basis (k1, k3 from the European Comission..)
 

The Assocation also holds experience in dealing with key national and European-level stakeholders to develop multidisciplinary projects, and is keen to partner with Associations and NGO’s from the nationa network to develop projects and activities.
 

UNSA’s team is used to work under high pressure scenarios and is willing to share its best practices to foster action and the creation of a solid spanish ALF network.
 

The entity had managed the creation of a number of succesful structured dialogues at a European and International level developing multidisciplinary partnerships to achieve its aims. We will provide full support to any association within the networks which doesn’t have already the knowledge to create wealthy networks to develop its projects.
 

UNSA Andalucía is an entity managed in its entirety by young people from 19 to 26 years old. We know how to engage the youth in events related to our topics (and those of the network) and can help other entities in doing so.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

UNSA Andalucía believes there is a strong compliance between its goals and those of the Foundation. Together, we want to further our steps (and those of the associated entities) in achieving bigger and better projects and activities.
We are planning on having an active and participative rol within the national and the international network, and help to engage the youth (since we ourselves are young) in the consolidation of the network and in the participation in the projects, and to sum up with our ideas and ways of thinking and working.

Mission and Objectives

State of Concept is the first non-profit gallery in Greece. It was founded in 2013 by art critic and curator Iliana Fokianaki and is based in Athens. State of Concept is an independent platform operating as a gallery with a yearly programme, that aims to be a bridge between Athens and the international contemporary art scene. With its main aim being to introduce international artists that are not widely known and easily accessible to Greek audiences as well as to showcase one Greek artist through a solo exhibition, it hosts four exhibitions per year: one solo exhibition of a Greek artist, two solo exhibitions of international artists and one group exhibition curated by an international invited curator. Parallel to its exhibition programme, State of Concept organises a variety of events and projects including talks, screenings and workshops for children. Apart from its exhibitions and events, State of Concept is operating as a space for free artist consultation, where young students and graduates of Greek art schools can receive feedback, guidance and help in order to further their work, enhance their portfolio and CV, and decide their next artistic steps.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Our ground knowledge of contemporary art, together with our interest in interdisciplinary projects that involve education, collectivity, and social issues, will be a wonderful addition to the institutions that comprise the Greek component of the Anna Lindh foundation.   

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We believe it will be extremely beneficial for us to join the foundation since we will be able to broaden our dialogue with institutions throughout Europe, as well as strengthen links on our local scene. Furthermore, ALF will enable us to open up our horizons, give ideas on how to widen our activities and create opportunities for new projects and collaborations.
