YO-YO, a Youth Organisation for Youth Odysseys, is a NGO organisation for international youth connection and started in September 2013. It is an association which has a board of five competent people with various back ground. The project manager of the organisation is an educated teacher. She has six years of international experience and 25 years in youth work and is responsible for running the organisation, thus to create projects, involve youth or expand international network. All staff is volunteer staff. In YO-YO´s two years of existence we have hosted three youth exchanges Key Action 1, Erasmus+, involving France, Slovakia, Palestine, Italy, and participated in four abroad. The main funding is generally received from Erasmus+, but also the municipality of Svendborg has recently given a small donation to support development. Regularly we do shadowing and participate in training courses. Two young ambassadors are involved in YO-YO and will be leaders on this summer´s youth exchanges. On national level we are expanding our local cooperation with different of kind schools, both secondary and high schools.
Mission and Objectives

The main aim is to promote young people´s intercultural understanding across boarders through experience and personal relationship.
This will be done by:
-   promoting and supporting young people´s initiative  towards international connection through international projects and EVS
-  giving  young people a completely different experience by meeting other cultures
-  giving  young people the opportunity to develop intercultural competences and strengthen knowledge about different cultural backgrounds
-  giving young people the opportunity to develop international visions for the future and reflect upon their role according European and global development of culture, environment and nature.
Our target group is young people between 13-30 years old. On local and national level we cooperate with different schools and organisations in different fields. The organisation has an accreditation for hosting and sending volunteers as well, but not yet any experience.

Main Projects / Activities

The main projects so fare has been youth exchange applied Erasmus+. We work with social innovation through Non-Formal Education and methods.  Our international projects in Denmark have been on democracy and peace education. One projects with Palestine was about prejudice and traditions. Also a very interested project, 3D, Dream, Discover and Do mixing people with hearing and sight impairment has been held last year.
YO-YO´s Yes point is open one day a week where young people can come and create own ideas for international projects, and get the support needed to transform the ideas into reality. In 2016 we are focusing on increasing cooperation with local schools to try and increase the amount of young people involved. In Marts we join the youth exchange, Changing Perspective, in Portugal about employability and development of competences. All participants are from VUC Odense, an adult education centre, which is our first project together in other to development local cross sectional cooperation focusing on supporting formal and non-formal education. 
Also we are accredited to host volunteers, and hope to start involving EVS programs.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

YO-YO are interested in making international projects with organisations from Mediterranean countries. , eg. EVS courses or exchanges. We have staff with lots of experience in the youth field, both in formal and non-formal education. YO-YO is active in youth work and makes regularly new international projects.  Our focus is always on quality, and we always want to learn and improve our work. We will inspire others, as they will inspire us, and keen on sharing best practice. We have experience in visibility of our project, and off course this will also be our practice with any possible Anna Lindh foundation received.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

In Denmark there is an urgent need to meet and cooperate with cultures from Mediterranean countries. One reason is the massive flight of refugees, and the other the massive increase of diversity in society. This promotes a lot of culture clashes and prejudice. We need to make frames where young people can meet thus to combat prejudice and to promote international citizenships.  In the ALF network we want to find good, reliable partner, who not only want to make youth exchange, but also want to develop and secure quality in the work we do. Hopefully, we can make new creative international project with new perspectives. The media are sometimes a threat for living peaceful together. Young people have to meet and share mutual knowledge, and debate on issues we face being from different parts of the world. It is important to support youth´s active participation to create a society based on dialog and peace.

General Information
The Emel Tounes Association is a Tunisian association created in 2011, whose objective is to promote the sense of citizenship among Tunisians by involving them in campaigns on the environment and in charity projects.
Mission and Objectives

The main purpose of Emel Tounes Association consists in promoting the sense of “Citizenship” among Tunisian people, and how to develop with them a continuous and ever growing feeling of attachment and care to the Country related concerns. In order to achieve this goal we have chosen to focus on three main themes as a strategy building tool whether it was a punctual event, a permanent campaign or a long term applied project adopted by the organization : - Tunisian Woman’s direct or indirect involvement, taken into account her status as “the first educator of the nation”, and her biggest impact on society starting from the very family cell. - Environment protection and sustainable development approach, given the tangible results of the green actions and its quick positive impact on people, boosting in them further motivation and involvement. - Charity targeting purpose guided by our deep belief in the necessity to have a merciful humanitarian benefit on people in every action we undertake.

Main Projects / Activities

The first action of Association Emel Tounes is "Collecting Caps of Solidarity" campaign, which was launched in collaboration with the Association of Myopathy of Tunisia (AMT). The slogan of this action is "Let's pick up the caps, let’s overcome Disability", and it consists on providing recyclers of plastic caps that were collected by our citizens to finance the purchase of wheelchairs (manual or electric) and to distribute them to people with disabilities who are also suffering from poverty. The action "Collecting Caps of Solidarity" is, in the opinion of many, an exceptional action because, by giving a simple "plastic cap", it helps build a sustainable civic solidarity. In deed , by urging people to collect plastic caps, we attract their attention to the difficulties the disabled persons are living, especially if added to poverty. In addition, picking a cap thrown on the ground contributes to the protection of the environment that we all share.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Social networking is playing a great role in promoting civil society 's activities in Tunisia.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

I wish to join ALF Network in order to promote our association and gain regional and international support to our causes as well as exchange experiences and learn in order to perfect the association results. We are also ready to share our know-how and assist other organisations working on the same field or even others.

It is a great opportunity to create a wider network between different organizations and experts for promoting the exchange of ideas in the fields of intercultural dialogue, diversity in the Euro-Mediterranean region. We believe that it is a great opportunity to take part in the initiatives and projects of the Network.
As Hungary is becoming more and more exposed to the effects of long-lasting crises in the wider Mediterranean region and the Middle East, such as the influx of refugees and migrants, our membership in the Anna Lindh international network would contribute to the more efficient exchange of credible information and analysis and help partners in understanding root causes and underlying processes better through joint research, seminars and conferences where representatives of the wide network can meet.

Our Generations For Peace Institute has partnerships with Georgetown University, the University of Oxford, and University of Western Cape.  Founded by HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein of Jordan and Sarah Kabbani in 2007, Generations For Peace is currently ranked “#32 in the Top 500 NGOs in the World" by Global Geneva (making us the second-highest-ranked peace-building NGO, and the top-ranked Jordanian NGO). Their ranking is based on an assessment of innovation, impact, and sustainability.  

Mission and Objectives

Generations For Peace is dedicated to sustainable conflict transformation at the grass roots in communities, by promoting youth leadership, community empowerment, active tolerance, and responsible citizenship.  We are a volunteer movement, empowering, mentoring and supporting volunteers to be change-makers to create a better future in their own communities. We use sport as an entry point to engage with youth, and our carefully-facilitated sport-based games provide a vehicle for integrated education and behaviour change. Generations For Peace is the only peace-through-sport organisation officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee. In addition to our sport-based approaches, we have also developed arts, advocacy, dialogue, and empowerment activities to support conflict transformation with children, youth, and adults in different contexts. Generations For Peace has developed a unique curriculum and cascading model for training carefully-selected volunteer leaders of youth, and mentoring and supporting them to implement sustained activities for children, youth and adults to address issues of cultural and structural violence in their own community.  Contexts include: inter-tribal, inter-ethnic, and inter-religious violence; gender inequality; post-conflict trauma response, reconciliation and reintegration; exclusion of minorities including IDPs, refugees and people with a disability; and challenges of integration in multi-cultural societies. Conflict sensitivity, and the full participation and empowerment of girls and women, are integrated into our approach. We are committed to robust measurement and evaluation of our programmes to support our learning and innovation, to identify best practices, and to demonstrate impact and sustainability. Our Generations For Peace Institute has partnerships with Georgetown University, the University of Oxford, and University of Western Cape. The research evidence shows programme outcomes and impacts which include: reductions in different forms of violence; increased capacity to manage conflict in non-violent ways; strengthened ability to break-out of cycles of violence; changes in attitudes and shattering of stereotypes; greater understanding, respect and trust between different tribes, ethnic groups, religions, genders, and minorities; strengthened social capital and social networks; empowerment of girls and women; greater volunteerism, youth engagement, and responsible citizenship. Our work can be seen as directly implementing UN Security Council Resolutions 2250 (recognising the positive role youth play in building sustainable peace, and the need for governments and other stakeholders to support the participation of young people in conflict transformation, peace building and countering violence) and 1325 (on the pivotal role women should and do play in conflict management, conflict resolution and sustainable peace).

Main Projects / Activities

Since 2007, we have trained and mentored more than 8,920 volunteer leaders of youth in 50 countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe. With our support, their ongoing programmes address local issues of conflict and violence, and have touched the lives of more than 229,020 children, youth and adults.  In any community, we use selected combinations of five "vehicles for change": Sport For Peace: rather than pure sport activities following an official sport code, we use specifically-designed sport-based activities, games and drills which integrate peer-group peace-building education, because our objectives are peace-building outcomes rather than development of sporting skills or competitions. GFP Sport For Peace activities therefore harness the same energy of sport play, and the power of team dynamics and joint effort towards achieving a goal, but with the aim of changing attitudes, behaviour and relationships of the participants. Arts For Peace: carefully facilitated art-based activities (such as painting, drama, and music) to foster positive behavioural change and to encourage the Generations For Peace Expressions of Change: specifically building acceptance, fostering cooperation, ensuring inclusion, developing respect, taking responsibility, and building trust within target groups. As with sport, art is used as an entry point for peace building. The purpose of Art For Peace is not for art itself, but rather the means through which to convey conflict transformation objectives. Art For Peace actviities are a powerful way to surface issues of conflict and vioence that need to be addressed, to support community acknowledgement of these issues, and to generate commitment for concrete collective actions to address them. Advocacy For Peace: an ongoing advocacy campaign or regular activities sustained over a period of months, through print or broadcast media, social media, rallies, marches, demonstrations, parades, or other means, to promote messages for behaviour change and conflict transformation. Dialogue For Peace: a particular approach to dialogue is set out, following the principles and practices of “Transformative Dialogue”. Transformative Dialogue is a type of facilitated Dialogue that views conflict as a crisis in human relationships. The aim of Transformative Dialogue is to transform the quality of interactions between people, from destructive to more positive and constructive. The goal is not necessarily to reach an agreement or reconciliation, but is to support a transformation in the relationships between the parties. Empowerment For Peace: activities that provide capacity building for youth and adults who are trapped in a conflict as a result of their lack of power, influence, or status. These programmes offer participants new skills to help them break out of a cycle of destructive conflict. Generations For Peace's unique curriculum and cascading model supports trained volunteers to lead change in their own communities, implementing carefully selected activities for a precisely selected target group, with activities being sustained over an average of 44 contact hours to ensure lasting behaviour-change impacts.  To see our work in action, please visit our YouTube channel, and be sure not to miss: • Introduction to GFP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_yxx-bDOio • How we work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xMfD27tNUs

Any partnership, and any network, thrives when it is founded on shared values. We believe that we share with Anna Lindh Foundation a passionate belief in: the untapped potential of youth to lead change in their communities; the importance of grass-roots bottom-up change that supports exostig strengths and assets in communities, local prioritisation of issues, local ownership of programme design, implementation and evaluation; and the importance of a rigourous focus on innovation, quality, impact and sustainability. We believe Anna Lindh Foundation Network is a tremendously effective network across many countries and territories in which Generations For Peace is already working, and this network can offer Generations For Peace so many important opportunities for sharing and exchange and for partnership on programme acions, and research.
