General Information
ZUMU aims to fill the gap of cultural access and participation in underprivileged communities in the country. It is a diverse cultural hub, conceived as a moving museum (the first in Israel) built entirely of shipping containers, that reaches a new city every three months. It brings the best of Israel's contemporary art scene to the country's peripheries, and develops and operates cultural participatory projects with the objective of engaging the communities it visits, collaborating to enhancing their cultural capital, promoting their values, identity and artistic creativity. The organization has a staff of seven people, and is currently looking for funding in order to launch its activities in the spring of 2017, in the Negev. We are proud of having as our partners the municipalities of Sderot and Yeruham, the Matnassim of Yeruham, OutBox and Tnuat Or. We have pending fundings from The Beracha Foundation, Negev Placemaking Challenge and UNESCO.
Mission and Objectives

ZUMU believes that a museum is a place to be creative, to be inspired and to connect to others. ZUMU will visit a collection of locations around Israel which lie on Israel’s seamline of social issues. By placing an emphasis on people, ​ZUMU seeks out locations that can bring together different socio-­economic classes, religions and ethnicities and will serve as a symbol of coexistence in each of its locations.
ZUMU seeks to:
- To provide access to contemporary arts and participatory arts education to the children and youth of Israel’s periphery;
- To build channels of access and collaboration between periphery arts organizations and artists and leading Israeli arts professionals and institutions;
- To create accessible, sustainable cultural experiences which cross socio­economic, religious and ethnic divides in Israel.

Main Projects / Activities

ZUMU seeks to flip the traditional role of the museum and its participants, inviting each city to become the host of this ambitious and exciting project. In its cargo containers, adapted in order to become art laboratories, especially commissioned artworks will be displayed, inviting people to partake into an adventurous cultural and contemporary art journey.
Besides the museum, ZUMU consists of four sub-projects, which altogether collaborate to enhance local cultural capital and promote coexistence, heritage conservation, artistic creativity and individual empowerment. They are: “Time Capsule”, an on-going documentary of Israel’s periphery, through the digital catalogue of artifacts, brought by the project’s participants from their own homes, which translate into culture and heritage significance; “What’s Your Story”, that works with children, youth and adults in order to develop their writing tools, aiming the production of original stories which will turn into theater plays featuring professional actors; “Community Container”, a designated container which displays local artists’ works, and the “Public Program”, a lively multicultural platform for individuals of all ages, which invites the audience to participate in events and activities connected to multi-disciplinary forms of art and culture expressions.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Given that the path to an inclusive socio-economic development is substantially rooted in culture, which includes diverse value systems, traditions and beliefs, ZUMU acts bringing together different socio-economic classes, religions and ethnicities, providing the space for equal representation of belittled cultures in the Israeli society, serving as a symbol of (and working towards) coexistence.
We believe that ZUMU can strongly contribute to enriching the dialogue about coexistence in Israel, and culture as an essential part of inclusive socio-economic development.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We believe that participating in a forum whose members carry such different experiences and operate in diverse backgrounds can definitely contribute to our learning from their practices, and understand the intrinsec aspects of being a non-profit in Israel. Also, participating in a network with like-minded groups can help us improve our potential to serve more people more effectively.

General Information
EPEKA Scientific and Research Association was established in 2008 as a union of associations. The association was primarily founded to integrate creators in the fields of culture, art, education, science, and technology for the project European Capital of Culture 2012 in Maribor. EPEKA´s main activites are exhibitions in EPEKA Gallery, education and social entrepreneurship. In 2014 a sister organisation of EPEKA; EPEKA Türkiye, was opened in Sinop, Turkey. EPEKA now has sister organisations in Austria, Czech republic, Armenia and Serbia.
Mission and Objectives

The mission and aims are grounded in the interdisciplinary approach of art and science on a local, regional, and international level, with the focus on Slovene culture in the context of a global crossroads. The main targeted fields are: music, visual arts, ecology, education, youth programmes, and social entrepreneurship.

Main Projects / Activities

Exhibitions
The premises of the association also offer a gallery space known as EPEKA Gallery. Works by Jernej Forbici (SLO), Bojana Radulovič (MNE), Marko Lipuš (SLO), and others have been on display there.
In 2013 a major exhibition, entitled Intergenerational Comics Exhibition – Together for a Better Living, was opened and hosted 50 adult and 50 young artists. The exhibition was a part of an international EU-funded project coordinated by Info Project from Romania involving 11 organisations from various countries (Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom).
In 2014 EPeKa was invited to co-curate 100 years in the Balkans – The comic strip in resistance with Stripforum from Zagreb, an exhibition conducted in partnership with Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée and the Bosnian Cultural Center from Sarajevo and Stripartnica Buch. This most significant exhibition on comics from the region, which also features Slovene comics, is on display at the Belgian Comic Strip Center in Brussels. The exhibition features artists from former Yugoslavia: Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia (featuring artists Kostja Gatnik, Miki Muster, Tomaž Lavrič, Zoran Smiljanić, Iztok Sitar, Jelko Peternelj).
In 2015 and 2016 EPEKA GAllery has hosted several exhibitions of several deifferents artist: Selma Selman (BiH), Alan Kosmač (SLO), Marjan Amalietti (SLO), Serena Luna Raggi (ITA), Stojan Grauf (SLO).
Education
The association is also concerned with socially engaged education, especially when it comes to marginal social groups. In the past it has organised several workshops, lectures, and projects aimed at an inclusive approach for local and international protagonists (such as English lessons for Roma, intercultural dialogue, lessons of Romani language, etc.).
The education projects are closely related with the European Volunteer Service (EVS), an organisation with which EPEKA extensively collaborates. Among other sources, EPEPEKA is also financed through institutions that promote European mobility and education: the Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programmes (CMEPIUS), MOVIT – a Service for the Promotion of Youth Mobility, and the Slovene Human Resources Development and Scholarship Fund.
Social entrepreneurship
The most well-known EPEKA´s project is Romani kafenava, the first Roma restaurant in Slovenia, which opened its doors in 2014. The project was supported by the EU Social Fund and the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Rights of the Republic of Slovenia.
Other projects include lectures and debates on social economy, the destigmatisation of vulnerable social groups, and other relevant themes.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Jordan, in recent years, has become home to millions of displaced citizens/refugees of surrounding countries who are seeking safety and stability. These refugees include women, children, various religions, races, and ethnicities. Today, 40% of Jordan’s population is displaced citizens of neighboring countries, placing a heavy burden on the economy and social structure of the country, requiring assistance with food, medicine, shelter, and education for the young. In reality, the majority of this growing number of refugees is largely attributed to the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the conflicts of neighboring countries like Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq. The amount of time that these conflicts may continue is unknown, and the extremist movement’s continued attempts to recruit the teen and young adult aged refugees is of increasing concern.
All of the aforementioned events have had a burden on the Jordanian government, both country-wide and local, as well as private organizations who have worked in the field. The majority of the efforts made by these international organizations and government programs have been on the refugee camps and the displaces citizens residing there, with little to no help extended to the hundreds of thousands living in slums on the outskirts, or those living in remote border areas. Those who have been left continue to face extreme difficulties in their work, and daily lives, yet live peaceably with the local populations.
The organizations in place have failed to provide support to those people and it has affected the cultural, and social well-being of both themselves, and the inhabitants of the surrounding villages and rural dwellings. Initial arguments were the limited resources that are available, as well as the social fallout that has resulted from so many being without proper employment, education, or shelter such as prostitution, rape, and involuntary servitude. Blue Umbrella strives to provide the necessary support to these people who are so desperately in need of employment, education, and hope.

For funding, each project team applies for the appropriate funding opportunity in line with their activities. In 2015, Foundation’s projects were supported by the European Union, French Embassy, Swedish Embassy, Chrest Foundation, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Friedrich Naumann Stiftung, Henrich Böll Stiftung, Open Society Foundation, Niras. Also based on the thematic field of the projects, the Foundation collaborated with different civil society organisations both from Turkey and also from different institutions abroad. For the international conference organized in 2015, the Foundation collaborated with three of the major universities in Istanbul which are Boğaziçi University, Sabancı University and Bilgi University. In 2013, in cooperation with TOG Toplum Gönüllüleri Vakfı (Community Volunteers Foundation in Istanbul) and YIC (Youth Initiative Centre in Armenia), we have been able to experience the European Voluntary Service by co-hosting EVS volunteers hosted by TOG as the coordinating organisation as part of ‘Rolling Istanbul’ project. In line with our protocol with TOG, since 2013, we had the chance to co-host 6 EVS volunteers from Armenia and France at the Hrant Dink Foundation.  
Mission and Objectives

The Hrant Dink Foundation was established in 2007 following the assassination of Hrant Dink in order to carry on his dreams, his struggle, his language and his heart.

Some of the aims and activities of the Foundation are as follows:
• To ameliorate cultural relations among the peoples of Turkey, Armenia and Europe

Main Projects / Activities

The Foundation defines the development of culture of dialogue, peace and empathy as the basis of all its activities. In this light, the Foundation carries out various activities under 5 major programmes ‘Culture and Arts’, ‘Education’, ‘History’, ‘Democratisation and Human Rights’ and ‘Turkey-Armenia Relations’. Amongst others, the Foundation has been regularly working on expanding its existing projects ‘Media Watch on Hate Speech’, ‘Films about Conscience’, ‘Oral History Studies of Anatolia’, ‘Multicultural Heritage of Anatolia’, ‘Turkey-Armenia Journalists’ Dialogue Programme’, ‘Turkey-Armenia Travel Grant’, ‘Turkey-Armenia Fellowship Scheme’, ‘International Hrant Dink Award’, ‘Annual International Conferences’, and also publishing on these topics. The Foundation has taken remarkable steps to move from program based operation to division based operation. ASULIS LAB, Armenian Research Institute, Site of Memory, Turkey-Armenia Program and the International Hrant Dink Award will be the core divisions of the Hrant Dink Foundation.
Hrant Dink Foundation has established a research library specialized on Armenian Studies and minorities in Turkey within the Anarad Hığutyun Building. The Library aims to serve researchers, students and the Armenian community by providing systematic knowledge and scientific information with particular focus on Armenian culture and history. With the capacity of 20,000 volumes, and currently featuring books, periodicals, photographs, DVDs, tapes and maps, the Library and its archive will be expanded further thanks to the exclusively donated private archives and collections. With the use of Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system, the library offers a research capacity with international standards.
ASULIS LAB: ASULIS is the first social sciences laboratory in Turkey that struggles against discrimination and produces studies on discourse. ASULIS aims to conduct studies in the fields of theoretical discussion, education, media, law and politics, and aspiring to be a pioneering, innovative and interdisciplinary structure.

ARMENIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE: Moreover, the HDF aims to establish an Armenian Research Institute in 2016. For the preparation, the project team is researching about the history, the scope and the context of Armenian Studies from past to present. To define the scope of the fields of research the project team has got into contact with different institutes both in Turkey and abroad. The Institute will function as a place for both research and production. Researchers, academics, scholars or any other interested individuals will be able to enhance their research in Armenian Studies, with an access to a resource-rich archive and library.  HDF gives special importance to projects related to Cultural Heritage. Documenting, creating information about Turkey’s non-Muslim cultural heritage has been one of the priorities of the Hrant Dink Foundation and making these information accessible is important to us.  Activities like field research, documentation, oral history and raising awareness about the protection and creative reuse of cultural heritage structures will continue under the roof of Armenian Research Institute.
SITE OF MEMORY: The former Agos office where Hrant Dink’s office is located will be turned into a site of memory and conscience. With a special focus on Hrant Dink, the site will be a place where Armenians’ culture and history, minority rights in Turkey, the story of Agos Newspaper will be presented from various angles.
INTERNATIONAL HRANT DINK AWARD:   Since 2009, the Hrant Dink Foundation presents the International Hrant Dink Award on Hrant Dink’s birthday, September 15th, to remind those individuals, organizations and groups who give inspiration and hope to people for holding on to their struggle, work for a more liberal and fair world free from discrimination, racism and violence, take personal risks for achieving those ideals and use the language of peace that they are not alone. Each year the award is granted to two individuals, organizations or groups; one from Turkey and one from outside of Turkey.
TURKEY-ARMENIA RELATIONS PROGRAM: The Foundation strives to eliminate mental and physical borders between the two neighboring countries by promoting direct contact and cooperation. With its project coordinators in Turkey and Armenia, the Foundation continues to expand its activities for increasing people-to-people contacts, promoting cooperation of professionals, organizing exchanges for journalists and various experts, raising awareness on the impact of the sealed border.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

In all of the programmes, the Foundation targets to reach out to civil society organisations, grassroots organisations, academia, media, young people and public at large.  Since March 2015, the Hrant Dink Foundation continues its activities in its new venue Anarad Hığutyun Building, which used to be an Armenian school until it was closed in 2004 due to lack students. The 800 m2 building has four floors, and hosts work spaces, an archive, a library, an exhibition hall, a conference hall for seventy people, spaces for workshops, an open courtyard and a terrace. The Foundation has been organising and hosting series of workshops, conferences, film screenings at the new venue.  The new venue also offers us greater opportunities to enhance our collaboration and communication with young people, academia and other civil society organisations and host joint panels, workshops or activities. Being a part of the Network will enhance cooperation and collaboration with other civil society organisations working in the fields which are similar with the foundation activities and foster awareness on cultural diversity and coexistence by organising public events.
