General Information
Created in 2015, 99 is a free, not-for-profit medium offering documentaries in six languages. 99 is a medium for the unseen, the 99% of the world’s people whom the traditional media do not show, for want of space or because they do not fit into their editorial direction. We want to capture the image of our world outside the usual camera viewfinder, because there are so many real-world stories there. We are a European/North American/Tunisian/Turkish team with several languages among us, with a passion for documentaries. We include directors, technicians, journalists and translators specialising in audiovisual media.
Mission and Objectives

99 is a not-for-profit French association gathering 15 people. We decided to create 99 a couple of months ago so there are a lot of information that I cannot provide yet.
Our mission is to promote documentary films as we believe it is a tool to enlighten people of all kinds and all continents. That's why we develop a media availble (for now) in 6 languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and German.
Our objectives in 2016 will be to add more languages to our media: Arabic, Turkish and Russian.
99 responds to two demands:
- First to those of the public. Festivals dedicated to documentaries around the world prove they hold continuing appeal, but oddly, in many countries, broadcast time for documentaries and feature-length reports is being reduced. This is why we want to propose documentaries of quality to a broad public, through the Internet, in viewers' own first languages.
- Equally important, 99 responds to the demands of directors, since 99 is intended as a tool for them. Many creators have superb films gathering dust in a drawer somewhere, or that are online but not being watched. We can adapt them in six languages to make them massively visible. And tomorrow we will also accompany directors who entrust us with projects they propose, to turn them into reality together thanks to crowdfunding. Their work will be rewarded and their films will be broadcast on 99.
 

Main Projects / Activities

We strongly believe that documentary films enlarge minds.
What we want is for anybody on the planet to be able to watch quality documentaries for free on our platform.

It has fully integrated into the Tunisian society. IBLA includes a renowned Research Library specialized in humanities and social sciences in the Arab world. It represents an intellectual and cultural source for researchers, academics and teachers, both Tunisian and foreign. IBLA also includes a scientific journal, Revue IBLA, founded in 1937 and the oldest still published in Tunisia, as well as a Junior Library for the youth of the disadvantaged neighbourhood. Its staff includes 4 White Fathers and 4 employees.   The annual operating expenses ( 55 000 TND) are mainly covered by the White Fathers society, whereas concrete projects are covered with the support of partners, including the Ministry of Culture, the National Heritage Institute, the French Institute, Arab World Institute, Prince Claus Fund…
Mission and Objectives

MISSION STATEMENT
The aim of IBLA shall be to encourage intellectual openness in Tunisia and to develop dialogue between cultures and religions in order to achieve mutual understanding and peace.
 
OBJECTIVES
IBLA shall have the following objectives:
1.  To promote respect and esteem for the cultures of others;
2. To create opportunities for inter-cultural and inter-religious encounters and dialogue;
3. To promote, conserve and protect the Tunisian cultural heritage and in a general way the Arab world cultural heritage;

6.  To provide educational support and to encourage the continuation of studies;
7. To enhance relations with Tunisian society and its institutions;
8.  To do all that is ancillary, incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objectives.

Main Projects / Activities

 1.The Research Library
IBLA runs a Research Library specialized in humanities and social sciences in the Arab world. Its collection, mainly in Arabic and French, constitutes a unique contribution to the Tunisian cultural and academic scene. In January 2010, a dramatic fire deeply affected the Library as half of the collection was destroyed (At least 15,000 books) or damaged (at least 5,000 books), whereas the building and the furniture have also been severely damaged.
The enormous support received from both individuals and institutions such as the Ministry of Culture have enabled our team to restart partially IBLA’s activities. After several years of great efforts, the Research Library officially reopened in October 2014.
Now, the objective of our Research Library’s project is to recover and develop the Library’s collection and material in order to offer a quality place of study.
It contains three axes:
- Preservation of IBLA’s collection: repairing, scanning, conservation…
- Development of IBLA’s collection: purchase of books and periodicals
- Modernization of the IT system: Database development, renewal of the computers
 

2. IBLA Revue
IBLA Scientific journal to date has published 114 issues over 78 years. Its issues, containing over a thousand articles and hundreds of book reviews and survey, provide a wealth of information and commentary on the evolution of Modern Tunisia. Blending Orientalism and the social sciences, the review specialized from its inception in the study of Tunisia’s past and present, particularly its Arab and Islamic dimensions. In 2014, IBLA revue published the book “Tunisian Arabic Course, Level 1” and aims now to publish the Level 2.

3. The Junior Library
Opened for the youth of the disadvantaged neighbourhood (Bab Mnara, Melassine…)  for over 50 years, the Junior library provides middle- and secondary-school children a place to study and to read in a calm and serious environment, as well as offering advice and help with their studies. After the fire of 2010, it was closed for few years. We are now preparing a participatory project to develop educational and cultural activities with a group of youth. We will provide these activities for the youth of the neighbourhood from next spring, with the reopening of the Junior Library.  The objective of the project is to develop interest in studies, civil participation and intellectual openness  among young people from disadvantaged neighbourhood.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Serving the intercultural and interreligious dialogue since the 1930s, IBLA has a great experience in improving mutual respect and understanding in Tunisia. This experience can benefit to the network.
Besides, IBLA is composed of an intercultural and interreligious team with Christian White Fathers coming from different countries and Muslim Tunisians. This is rare in Tunisia. Thus, IBLA’s team can provide a new perspective to the debates and exchanges of the network.
Finally, as the ALF is invited to associate partners various areas of the civil society, we have special connections with universities and cultural institutions, academics, youth… Our network can benefit the ALF.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We want to join the ALF Network because we share its values and mission. After the fire that affected IBLA in January 2010, we are now looking to the future and we would like to enhance our relations with the rich Tunisian civil society, expand our local and international networks and develop our activities.  The ALF network can help us achieve these objectives.
We are also very interested in participating to national and regional activities. It can broaden our horizons, nourish our educational and cultural activities and give us opportunities to meet with future collaborators.
Regarding the current context, we think that networking and joining forces are particularly important to weaken obscurantism and build a common future.

The direct flight connections from Canaries to european countries are complemented with direct flights to several african countries, including Maroc, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia and Green Cape Islands.
Considering we receive over 12 million visitors per year, the capability of islands to host huge groups are very well demonstrated.
La Tierra Verde has an important experience in youth international projects, so that we could offer ALF EuroMed partners updated information related to know how, and even participation in defined projects to be implemented in any of Canary Isles.
Our diversity is not only on nature. Human diversity is very wide in our opinion. The overwhelming majority of native Canarians are Roman Catholic with various smaller foreign-born populations of other Christian beliefs such as Protestants from northern Europe. But there are important number of Muslims (just in Gran Canaria there are no less than 8 mosques). Other religious faiths represented include The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as Hinduism (with the biggest India community in Spain). Minority religions are also present such as Buddhism, Baha'i & Corean Christian church. The cohabitance of these beliefs are excelent.
So that, in our opinion Canary Islands & La Tierra Verde could offer ALF EuroMed a new approach about intercultural dialogue.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

During years of participation in youth international projects, we have seen that some EuroMed (and not only) partners are members of ALF, very involved in activities all along the region.
After long debates in our organisation, we have seen that to became members of ALF EuroMed is a good chance for both sides: the experience in international projects in a priveleged atlantic region as Canaries and the strength of a prestigious international organisation with a very important number of members and very good & professional activities for interculturality and mutual understanding.
In our opinion, a great combination.
