•  Widening the contacts with similar structures and cultural institutions, with the European Union countries, Balkan countries and international organizations.
The Gallery has three separate buildings that are being developed and accessible, suitable for the organization and carrying out of cultural events. Each of the buildings has an individual architectural shape as the separate premises create an atmosphere of spirituality, giving on the one hand a chance for the arrangement of different thematic expositions and on the other hand creating the necessary atmosphere for perception of the visitors. This is a result of the targeted policies developed by the Gallery as the visitors have increased from 4 704 people in 2008 to 11691 people in 2014. Out of them 3867 have been children. The events in the halls of the Gallery in 2008 have been 15 in number and in 2014-63 in number. The sensitive increase of the attendance is a result of the atmosphere of hospitality- a consequence of the many projects with the participation of children, young people, representatives of ethnic minorities and others, organized and carried out by the Gallery. Exhibitions and events with ethnic character for different ages, educational expositions and concerts have been presented.

Main Projects / Activities

Art Gallery “Dimitar Dobrovich” has limited resources in terms of the realization of many activities, having direct relation to the Gallery’s policy for its establishment as a cultural centre for young people, authors and community. The development and realization of different projects, performed by the Gallery, create real preconditions for improving the expert capacity of the team, the quality of work and realization of a series of cultural events and activities at the local, regional and national level. Last but not least the implementation of different projects gives the Gallery a chance to form itself as a loyal partner and a beneficiary, having a capacity and an established name among the cultural and financing organizations and institutions.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The Gallery has a site and a Facebook account with a sub-page of the Summer Art School. They are supplied daily with new information, photo materials, messages for upcoming events and coverage of already opened exhibitions. To ensure the wider coverage of events, organized in the Gallery, its team collaborates with local and national journalists via a press-list.

General Information
Africa e Mediterraneo is a non-profit  organisation created to promote intercultural awareness, especially between Italy and Africa, and to conduct development education. With its constitution officially formalised in 2002, since 1997 Africa e Mediterraneo has brought together a group of professionals committed to the task of promoting contemporary African artists and intellectuals. Africa e Mediterraneo pursues its goals by regularly publishing the biennual journal Africa e Mediterraneo, and by organising initiatives such as intercultural workshops (in both school and out-of-school contexts), exhibitions, conferences, training courses for teachers and other activities linked to cultural and intercultural cooperation. Africa e Mediterraneo has a long experience in setting out projects (both at national and international level) that focus on intercultural dialogue and anti-racism education, both in formal and informal sectors. The Italian association has worked since 2000 both at national level (in more then 30 cities all around the country) and at European level (developing project activities in more then 10 EU countries). Our main interlocutors are both private organisations and public and institutional bodies.  
Mission and Objectives

Africa e Mediterraneo is committed to raising awareness and encouraging appreciation of African cultures, in the belief that culture is a route to development, peace and justice among people. Its goal is the promotion of culture as a mean for development, peace and justice among peoples.
Another important topic for Africa e Mediterraneo is mass communication, understood as both the set of technologies required to transmit and receive information (in all its economic, social and cultural forms), and as the set of values, symbols and representations that underlie mass democracy and public participation. Communication, as a factor inherent in that which allows a community to represent itself, to form relationships with other communities and to play its role in the world, is therefore an important tool in promoting mutual understanding. 

Main Projects / Activities

The activities carried out by Africa e Mediterraneo include: the organisation of intercultural projects and development education, both at the international and national level; the organisation of projects promoting cultural cooperation and respect for human rights;  the organisation of exhibitions on African cultural expression; the production of the biennual journal Africa e Mediterraneo; the organisation of training courses and conferences for teachers.
The main projects carried out by Africa e Mediterraneo are:
1. The "ComiX4 = Comics for Equality" project aims to foster dialogue in order to combat racism, xenophobia and discrimination in Europe, particularly in Italy, Bulgaria, Estonia, Romania and Latvia.
2. The "Africa Comics" project, which revolves around the Award for the Best Unpublished Comic by an African Author, has been running since 2002 and is now in its sixth edition.
3. "Common Values" revolves around the provision of intercultural education based on two basic elements of contemporary society: immigration and the coexistence of people with different cultural backgrounds, and the invasiveness of the youth-targeted media.
4. The “Approdi” project stems from an awareness of the high risk of social exclusion faced by young immigrants in Italy, and the belief that immigrant reception services should not exclude children and young second-generation immigrants.
5. “SCREENS – Southern visions of the Millenium Goals” is a European project. Funded in December 2010 by the European Commission, which holds the project in high esteem, Screens seeks to facilitate, above all, the greater involvement of African partners in the international debate on the eight Millennium Development Goals.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

L’Etat tunisien est aujourd’hui en pleine transition démocratique, ce qui nécessite le renforcement des éléments constitutifs de l’Etat de droit et assure un passage sûr vers une démocratie, un pluralisme et dialogue sociétal. ‘Si la question des minorités peut sembler marginale face aux défis politiques auxquels est confrontée la région, elle est symptomatique du changement politique intervenu. Elle révèle en effet que ce pays est entré dans une forme majeure de la modernité : la reconnaissance de la différence’ (Stéphanie Pouessel, (Les minorités en Tunisie, entre expression culturelle et politisation, Orient XXI, magazine, 17 janvier 2014) La question des minorités est désormais au centre de ces préoccupations. Les réformes du Statut des minorités ainsi escomptées assureraient l’instauration de l’Etat de droit aux niveaux socioculturel et législatif. L’Etat de droit est en effet une synthèse de la conscience sociologique, de la diversité, de la tolérance et des instruments juridiques nécessaires à renforcer le sentiment de cohésion sociale. Tel est le résultat ultime auquel notre projet aspire.
