General Information

INTER ALIA is a private not-for-profit organization based in Athens, Greece. Its activities are carried out through its two interconnected branches, a youth organization and a think-tank. Both branches have common aims though diverse tools for pursuing them. Inter Alia's founders and members are particularly interested in contemporary challenges of the EU with particular focus on education, democracy and collective action, and social entrepreneurship.

Mission and Objectives

INTER ALIA aims: - To bring people closer to each other and to Europe through breaking stereotypes, analysing and deconstructing conflict, engaging actively in key political issues and dialogue. - To raise awareness of the EU & prospective EU citizens on available channels for acting, participating & shaping Europe - To utilize the increasing willingness of the European youth to share their skills, expertise and energy, and to improve youth employability - To apply pressure to EU mechanisms for the expansion of participation of EU & prospective EU citizens in the European process - To provide multi-disciplinary approaches and integrate fragmented knowledge into a fruitful scheme

Main Projects / Activities

INTER ALIA's members and network of partners target the organization's aims through both theoretical/academic and practical (educational & civic) ventures. Specifically, Inter Alia uses four basic tools for action: - Analysis: Collecting & publishing original analyses that touch upon contemporary developments, concepts and ideas that unite or divide us, that promote or obstruct collective action and Europeans’ common sense of belonging, and that impact on our perceived role within the community at all levels (local, regional, national, European, global). Inter Alia has published more than 20 policy analyses this far. Some of the recent ones were related to: viewpoints towards Islam in contemporary Europe; the rising populism in Western Balkan countries; the education revolution that is attempted by particular institutions through new media and tools. - Debate: Promoting direct interaction between experts (policy makers, scholars) and the wider public. Training courses, workshops, seminars, public discussions & conferences are the main tools for promoting dialogue and participation with the underlying goals of making Europe more popular and likeable. Inter Alia holds regular events that aim at communicating contemporary issues of Europe through non-formal learning methods. Along with activities at the national level, Inter Alia has been represented by affiliated experts and young members in numerous international activities such as workshops, training courses, job-shadowing, forums etc. - Networking: Inter Alia aims at supporting and promoting views & activities of numerous organizations that share our vision for an active and assertive European demos. Collective action is an essential step for minimizing the distance between the EU and the European constituencies and for effectively applying pressure towards more accountability and openness. These aims have been pursued through promotional activites for partner organizations as well as through participation to a number of partnerships and consortia involved in a variety of national, European and international projects. - Research: Inter Alia’s platform is open to scholars, academic & policy analysts, but also to students and journalists who wish to contribute articles in their field of expertise related (but not limited) to contemporary cultural, political, educational, economic, commercial & social issues of Europe. The production of Inter Alia's research portfolio is made up of three collective volumes, public opinion surveys and social research as well as occasional papers. Inter Alia is run by a team of professionals from different fields (http://interaliaproject.com/people.html) while participation is project based. Inter Alia has involved a number of people from diverse fields in its ventures including young academics, civil society organizations, associations and think tanks, high-school students and youth. These partnerships are cultivated and extended through Inter Alia's growing pan-European network of partners and collaborators (http://interaliaproject.com/partnerships.html).

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

INTER ALIA through its philosophy that one organization cannot achieve much on its own but must put itself inter alia its peer, can contribute in the main aims of ALF for bringing together civil society and citizens across the Mediterranean to trust-building and mutual understanding which are among others among the core aims and values of ours.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We wish to empower our organisation through stable networks based on common values. At the same time we can assist other organisations in their respective goals. Alltogether, our joint aims can be better promoted through joint ventures rather than fragmented action with questionable continuity. Thus, cooperation for the joint civic benefit, the serving of ALF aims and at the same time of the mission of each organization is our main motivation for joining.

The organisation realises an arts festival, an international summer class, music events and promote the touristic potential of its action’s areas, working with local authorities, business and organisations.
Mission and Objectives

Associazione Kymbala’s mission is based on principles of solidarity, ecology and non-violence. It aims to improve the life of the communities in which it operates through cultural and touristic initiatives. In its work it combines the respect and enhancement of the local environment and heritage with cultural initiatives which are innovative and traditional at the same time.
It also promotes the dialogue among different cutures and communities.

Main Projects / Activities

The organisation is currently working on four main projects:
- Pomeriggi Musicali, a showcase of talents from national conservatories to put the local population and students of the schools in contact with classical music;
- Festival Florio, a EFFE (Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe) labelled festival which brings classical and jazz concerts, theatre and dance performances in the enchanting Egadi islands (Sicily);
- Progetto IMC, a summer international master class for young musicians;
- Campli Turismo, the tourist info point of the town of Campli
They result in reocurring events and activities planned annually, each time with different and specific peculiarities.The organisations works with known and emerging artists to bring the people closer to music and art and their cultural meanings.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Associazione Kymbala is constantly looking for peer organisations to work with.
The aim is to promote the same values: the respect and enhancement of different cultures and the non-violent dialogue between them. It is particularly looking for partners in the Mediterranean area to share the common history and cultural heritage and develop new projects which could combine different points of view and experiences.

It also has a specific expertise in the sector of classical music and composition which would like to use as a tool for mediation and exchange. We feel that only joining and working together with and withing a larger community we can truly achieve our objectives and after 5 years spent consolidating our work, we believe that we are now ready to share and exchange ideas and resources in a wider way.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We believe that thanks to the ALF network our organisation will be able to multiple the effects of our work and learn from the experience of the community. This would give us the opportunity to create even greater projects and contribute to the dialogue between Mediterranean countries.
For instance we are working on a theme that involves directly the Mediterranean Sea, Homer’s epic “Odyssey”, investigating through this theme the concept of journey and the exploration of different “worlds” and cultures. The 3-year long project takes place in the peculiar space of the Egadi islands, in the heart of the Mediterranean sea. We think that our work can be completed by the involvement of the key players of today “odyssey” (journey), as a story that travels across countries and time.

General Information
ACT is a non-profit organisation based in Marseille, France, and headed by a conseil d’administration of 10 volunteers. It currently employs a staff of 7 people with a budget of about €300,000.  ACT is mainly funded by grants from national and local governments and the European Union. Between 10 and 15 % of the budget is from our professional trainings offer. ACT provides tools, documentation, resources, and expertise to professionals and the public through documentary websites, conferences, publications, and professional trainings. ACT is the animator-coordinator of a regional network of actors involved in the recognition of the history and the memory of immigration and territories in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. ACT works in partnership with local organisations, social workers, researchers, and local and national institutions including local governments, local state administrations and museums.
Mission and Objectives

Movements of peoples and cultural exchanges have shaped the history of Provence, France and the Mediterranean countries. But in a context of social, economic and political tensions, real or imagined ethnic, religious, regional and/or national characteristics are increasingly becoming arguments for stigmatizing and discriminating practices and policies. Approches Cultures & Territoires rejects this on-going racialization of social relations and works to provide an emancipatory and active approach of the notion of interculturality.
Our mission is to provide professionals, volunteers and the general public with tools and knowledge about cultural diversity, migrations, ethnicity, and discrimination so that they can get the ways of the actual diversity and complexity of society.
ACT works in a professional and principled way to build bridges between scientific, cultural resources and concerned actors in the fields of education, culture, social work, and more largely with all interested citizens.

Main Projects / Activities

ACT conducts four types of activities:
Support and expertise for local actors
- ACT organises a regional network of actors involved in history of immigrations in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur
- ACT provides technical and intellectual support to local initiatives
Professional training and lectures
- Since 2014, ACT has proposed a training offer for professionals about secularism and religion, discriminations, local history and diversity, cultural diversity…
- More and more, ACT is asked by actors of the education to give punctual participative lectures about cross-cultural history of Marseille and its region
Conferences and round-table talks
- ACT has organised many conferences programmes with eminent guests about history of immigration, discriminations in education, societal issues, etc.
- Since 2014, ACT has proposed an annual cultural event named “Lire les Méditerranées” which is an invitation to discover the various aspects of research in the fields of human and social sciences and the various aspects of contemporary literature in the southern Mediterranean countries. In 2015, we received 13 writers and researchers from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia around 4 round-tables on the theme of the city in those three countries. 
Publications of resources
- Approches.fr is a documentary website: it lists available publications and local events about cultural diversity, ethnicity and discrimination, etc.
- ACT has published:
• two catalogues of resources about culturally diverse neighbourhood of Marseille (the third is on its way)
• a directory of actors of PACA acting in the field of welcoming immigrants (updated every two years)
• three documentary films about cultural diversity : the first one is giving the floor to theatre artists from migrants backgrounds and the other two met students and parents of students in the popular suburbs of Marseille

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Our activities are organised in order to build participatory and democratic management, by using different tools and linking the field expertise (of inhabitants, citizen communities) to scientists’ analysis (sociologist, historian, and others). We are looking forward to share and strengthen this with the ALF Network through the provision of our resources and our professional experience dedicated to the notion of interculturality in the field of history and memory in the one hand and in the field of education in the other hand.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

As shown by our project “Lire les Méditerranées”, we are looking forward to develop our action toward the Mediterranean area to contribute to the cross-cultural understanding and increase the social impact of our work by broadening the perceptions.
Plus, the ALF Network is promoting a lot of actions toward the youth, which is a very important point we also want to develop. 
Last but not least, we believe that bringing together diverse organizations is the key to strengthen our common actions and raise this intercultural challenge. Networking is actually the main component of our associative project.
