The core research team is Dr Ledger and Mr. Benhallam but we are also involved with visiting researchers and student researchers. We currently have advisors from Morocco, America and the Uniter Kindgom.

Mission and Objectives

Our Global Vision The Fatema Mernissi Youth Think Tank is a forum where youth can speak and will be heard. Encouraged by the late Fatema Merinissi our aim is to maintain her spirit in the work that we do. This will be achieved by conducting dynamic, participant-led research, listening and engaging with youth to develop our research projects. Our platform will unite researchers from different disciplines as well as youth from all walks of life to embrace the collaborative nature of the work conducted by the late Dr Mernissi. Through the identification of communication and social barriers faced by Moroccan youth, and by breaking them down, we hope to bring about positive social change through awareness and by dignifying the voice and opinions of youth.   Objectives Create a platform for discussion Connect people (academics, youth, governmental officials) Advocate youth participation in research Produce objective reports to inform various stakeholders

Main Projects / Activities

Our major activites are youth discussions, which feed into our research with you, by youth, for youth.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We would like to contribute to the Network in Morocco by acting as a brdige between youth organisations and the government and we hope that through conducting rigirous research in the area of youth we can make a difference for not just youth in Morocco but also around the world.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We think that joining the ALF Network would be great because we are already working with some of the organisations listed for Morocco on your database but it will help raise our profile and the work we not not just in Morocco but also in other countries.

General Information
Association loi 1901, Alifbata est née en 2012 et compte depuis 2014 une salariée et quatre bénévoles actifs. Jusqu'en 2015 elle fonctionnait en autofinancement grâce à l'animation d'ateliers pour les enfants. De 2012 à 2014, les ateliers pédagogiques interculturels à destination du jeune public ont été la principale activité de l'association. En 2015 l'association a lancé un projet éditorial voué à faire connaitre en traduction française les auteurs de bande dessinée arabe. Depuis, elle organise aussi des résidences pour favoriser la rencontre et l'échange entre auteurs du Sud et du Nord de la Méditerranée. Alifbata est partenaire avec Le Petit Lecteur d'Oran, Mediakitab, Samandal, Association 3.2.1, l'Artichaud, Arabook, Fondation al Fanar, Libraires du Sud, Dekadrage, ... En 2015, toujours grâce aux ateliers, et aussi par le cofinancement du contrat aidé, les recettes de l'association ont rejoint les  20000€.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Mission and Objectives

Comme l’évoque son nom -  Alif Ba Ta sont les trois premières lettres de l’alphabet arabe - l’association Alifbata naît de la volonté de creuser les liens qui existent entre nord, sud, est et ouest de la Méditerranée. Franchir les frontières, croiser les imaginaires, dessiner les histoires communes, donner accès aux différentes perceptions du monde. Dépayser, détourner les lieux communs et les a priori, dévoiler les syncrétismes… 
… Voilà le pourquoi d’ALIFBATA.
Promouvoir l’édition, la traduction, la publication et la diffusion d’œuvres et d’auteurs du bassin méditerranéen. Développer la mobilité internationale d’auteurs, artistes, et opérateurs culturels. Favoriser une sensibilité interculturelle à travers la promotion d’échanges entre cultures, langues et écritures du bassin méditerranéen. Mener des activités culturelles, artistiques et sociales autour de l’écriture, du livre, de la lecture et de l’édition, ainsi que développer des outils pédagogiques à vocation interculturelle…
… Voilà les objectifs d'ALIFBATA.

Main Projects / Activities

- Ateliers pédagogiques à destination des enfants pour les sensibiliser à la richesse et au respect de la diversité culturelle, et pour valoriser les langues et les cultures "d'origine" : ateliers "En voyage sur les lettres de l'alphabet arabe" et  "En voyage sur les lettres des alphabets méditerranéens". Le principe de ces ateliers est de mettre en valeur les langues et les alphabets des jeunes participants et de créer des histoires illustrées à partir des lettres.
- Soutenir et faire découvrir les auteurs de bande dessinée d'expression arabe. Médium que s'approprient des plus en plus de jeunes artistes des pays du monde arabe, la bande dessinée assiste depuis cinq ans à un vrai renouveau. Alifbata se propose de soutenir et faire découvrir en traduction française cette production artistique encore largement méconnue en France afin de donner accès aux points de vue, aux regards et aux témoignages que ces artistes portent sur leurs sociétés.
En novembre 2015, l'association a publié son premier ouvrage, le roman graphique  Laban et confiture, ou comment ma mère est devenue libanaise, de l'auteure libanaise Lena Merhej. En 2016, elle prépare la parution d'un recueil de Bdéistes du pourtour méditerranéen invitées à réfléchir au sujet du corps et de la sexualité en bande dessinée.

General Information
Fédération d'associations orientées vers la conservation, la valorisation et la transmission d'expertise du patrimoine maritime méditerranéen (ports, bateaux, traditions et savoir-faire). Environ 25 associations et musées, de la Croatie à la Catalogne, et en Tunisie, qui cherchent à étendre leur réseau tout autour du bassin méditerranéen occidental, pour le moment. Le budget de la FPMM est de l'ordre de 75 000 euros. Il n'y a pas de salarié actuellement. Jusqu'à présent la fédération a vécu de ses ressources propres (cotisations) et des revenus de l'exposition "mémoire des ports de la méditerranée".  
Mission and Objectives

Nous avons réalisé en 2015 une opération "mémoire des ports de la méditerranée", visible sur notre site fpmm.net.
Nos adhérents réalisent des chantiers d'insertion, des animations territoriales, des rencontres et des expositions itinérantes.
Nous nous orientons vers des publications, en partenariat avec les musées.

Main Projects / Activities

2016 : création d'un Centre de ressources en ligne, et d'un dispositif de recensement en ligne.
2017 : lancement d'un projet "Les routes maritimes d'autrefois" pour valoriser le cabotage culturel.
2018 : réalisation de rencontres rassemblant des types de bateaux anciens, de l'antiquité à nos jours. Classement des métiers de la pêche traditionnelle (sans motorisation) au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Extension vers la Méditerranée orientale (Grèce, Egypte, Chypres, Liban)

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

La contribution de la FPMM peut être l'apport de la dimension martitime d'activités traditionnelles (commerce, exploitation, services) et les méthodes possibles d'éclairage de l'avenir avec les lumières du passé.
Par ailleurs la FPMM évolue dans un domaine où le rôle des femmes, quoique déterminant, est peu valorisé, à l'image des conjointes d'artisans ou d'exploitants agricoles. Il y a là un travail énorme à réaliser de vulgarisation et de mise en réseau pour diffusion de bonnes pratiques.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

La FPMM souhaite joindre la FAL pour étendre son réseau autour de la Méditerranée.
