Mission and Objectives

Our Mission Despite the active involvement of civil society in various projects side by side with the public sector in recent years, development still remains below the expectations of Tunisians, particularly in the sectors of employment, education and health. Our mission stems from our deep belief in the far-reaching potential of the human capital when harnessed in the benefit of research and innovation. In Impact Foundation, we believe in the huge and untapped potential of the energy of youth, and in their capacity to make a deep impact on their environment at the local, regional and global levels. We are building on the academic acquisitions and dynamic capacities with the Tunisian young generation demonstrated throughout several trials. We seek to provide mentoring, support and motivation for these young energies, and to mobilize young people in the direction of addressing local and global challenges.   Our Objectives To initiate and support projects of economic, social and cultural development in Tunisia, especially in underprivileged regions. Organize, coordinate and boost the efforts of various research centers, universities and Think Tanks in Tunisia. Develop, reinforce and improve the skills and capacities of research centers and young researchers in Tunisia. Draw attention to the importance of linking research to development on the economic, social, cultural and environmental levels. Draft and develop proposals for laws and policies that promote research. Rationalize public policies through the involvement of research in state reform. Network with different research centers and academic institutions, reach out to young people and be open to their expectations.

Main Projects / Activities

Young City-Zen This project is part of civil society efforts to promote civic Education. Since Tunisia is going through a phase of political, social and cultural changes, this project responds to a critical need for active and promising citizenship. By relying on an inclusive participatory approach, the project will try to involve several stakeholders in a societal dialogue to teach young students the principles of the civic education adapted to the post-revolution Tunisian context where democracy, freedom and citizenship are being established as values of the Tunisian society. Through the various efforts of civil society, local authorities, education staff, and national and international experts, this YOUNG CITY-ZEN  project will consolidate the learning of civic education at primary schools for children between 8 and 12 years, and empower civil society institutions committed to the promotion of democracy and citizenship through civic education. Moorings Journal ​MOORINGS JOURNAL FOR SOCIAL SCIENCES is a quarterly online journal published by IMPACT FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. The journal aims to provide readers around the globe, particularly researchers and students, with a wide range of views about current issues pertinent to the region of the Maghreb. Since early history, the Maghreb has been the heart of a vibrant crossroads that witnessed a dynamic demographical movement and a rich interchange of ideas and commodities. In view of the recent regional and global changes, MOORINGS seeks to bring together fresh perspectives to the dynamics that underline the various socio-cultural, economic and political spheres in the countries of the Maghreb, as well as provide a wide range of outlooks which examine the interaction of this region with the rest world. We are looking for original, innovative and previously unpublished material, with the aim to promote excellence and encourage outstanding research approaches among researchers, academics and professionals. We particularly encourage submissions from young researchers and researchers at the beginning of their career. Working women’s rights under scrutiny ​The projects consists in an evaluation of the rights of threatened workers in Tunisia, through a report that will be written jointly by Impact Foundation for Research and Development, and academics from the High Institute of Human Sciences of Jendouba. The project aims to stress the precarious and deplorable conditions of work, endured by women working in the agricultural sector, in the absence of the fundamental rights of workers. With the intention to set in motion an advocacy program that seeks to influence public policies and improve their conditions, the project will focus precisely women working in the agricultural sector in the governorate of Jendouba., This governorate suffers the insufficiency of development compared to the rest of the regions, and where Agriculture constitutes a principal pillar in economic activity and wealth. In addition, the project which will seek to reinforce Research capacities at universities, by orienting research endeavors towards local socio-economic rights.

Today, we are firmly convinced of, and working on, the need to share forces with many other institutions.
Mission and Objectives

Our aims, according to the statutes of Fundación Valparaíso, are to promote the creation of artistic works and research in the field of fine arts, literature and music.
These aims are principally carried out by funding artists, writers and researchers, from all over the world, for periods of residence in the Foundation's facilities in Mojácar (Almeria, Andalusia, Spain), providing financial assistance to any cultural activity, or individual, involved in teaching and research in these fields and holding seminars, conferences, exhibitions and prizes across the various artistic disciplines.
Our objective for the near future is, using our resources and strategic geographical location in Almería, to promote cultural interaction between North and South of the Mediterranean, through our residency’s grants, improving multidisciplinary cultural access and knowledge of, and between, both sides of the sea.
 

Main Projects / Activities

Till now, our patronage activities have been:
Grants for board and residency
Since 1990, Valparaiso Foundation has been providing grants to enable artists to live for four weeks at its Residence in Mojacar (Almeria). These artists have all produced professionally recognised works and submitted proposals for projects to be undertaken at the Foundation itself. 
Prizes
The annual Paul Beckett Poetry Prize (awarded with 4,000€ and the book is published in the Beatrice collection).
The biennial Beckett Theatre Prize (awarded with 6,000€, the play published in the Beckett collection and presented to the public in a dramatic reading of the work).
Also, the Valparaíso Foundation Prize for Painting; sponsorship of the Spanish Association of Symphonic Orchestras Musical Composition Award; concerts and exhibitions, in our facilities in Mojácar.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Valparaíso Foundation can contribute to the Spanish ALF Network with:
- providing our facilities in Mojácar (Almería), for free, to ALF projects, as we are strategically located less than 400 km from Morocco and Algeria: the residence is situated amongst olive, orange and almond groves two kilometres from the beach at 150 metres above sea level; it has magnificent views to the Mediterranean coast and the Sierra Cabrera, home to the town of Mojacar.
This rural retreat, an old olive mill, has eight private rooms with en suite bathroom, a dining room, a library containing more than 10,000 titles and various other common areas. Each unit consists of a studio, a bedroom and a bathroom. Several of the rooms also have outdoor terraces or access to the courtyard. It also has its own vegetable garden and four individual workshops for painters, sculptors and multi media artists, as well as a study and auditorium for the musicians.
- offering specifically our residency grants to artists and creators of the Mediterranean in order to increase cultural relationships and understandings between North and South: one of the Valparaiso Foundation's main aims is to offer artists from all over the world and from all branches of the arts (writers, composers, painters, sculptors, visual artists, etc.), a quiet and peaceful retreat where they can concentrate on their art, free from distraction and the duties of daily life. Each month eight artists on grants have come together at the Mojacar Residence. Almost twenty years of experience has shown this number to be ideal for facilitating an interchange of ideas in a friendly and enriching atmosphere.
- our international cultural multidisciplinary projects;
- our own financial resources.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We have been working until now, very autonomously. And due to the actual world context it is time, for us:
- to work together with, and join forces to similar and complementary institutions;
- to reach wider and different audiences, public not used to the artistic world, so as they can be beneficiary of our efforts;
- to be part of multidisciplinary projects, out from our usual work but where we can contribute with our international artistic experience of 25 years;
- to help improving the knowledge and understanding of our different cultures in the Mediterranean.

General Information
Black Nights Film Festival was launched in 1997 and screened 25 full length films at the first festival to 4500 cinema visitors. The festival started to grow rapidly doubling the visitor numbers every year reaching out beyond the Nordic-Baltic region to discover the cinema of faraway countries. Within 10 years Black Nights Film Festival had increased the number of films nearly tenfold and the number of cinema visits even more. From the first focus on Nordic cinema the festival has grown to present all continents and many genres.
Mission and Objectives

Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival is a unique event combining a feature film festival with the sub-festivals of animated films, student films and children/youth films. The festival aims to present Estonian audiences a comprehensive selection of world cinema in all its diversity, providing a friendly atmosphere for interaction between the audience and filmmakers from all around the world.

Main Projects / Activities

Traditionally two festivals are held yearly  one being Black Night Film Festival (PÖFF) and an other Tartu Love Film Festival (tARTuFF). There is a number of minor festivals and programs inside, that reflect topics important in the society - for instance, documentaries (this year focusing on migration, refugees, wars or relations between cultures and relations in societies)

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are always trying to work on topics that are important in the society - it is not only chosing and showing films, it is also organizing discussions, side-events as exhibitions etc). We can provide space for this, and include networks suggestions and Networks competence in our work.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Currently issues about clash of cultures and refugees, freedom of speech etc are currently much tied up to Southern Mediterranean. We are looking forward to both get suggestions on how to approach the topics, and also suggestions on what is happening in film production area in this part of the world, to be better able to provide a high-quality program for Estonian public.
