With such networks in place more organisations can come together and use their abiities and expertise to make a bigger difference.  We can create awareness by various activities and combined afforts. In order to bring change in the attitudes and thinking we can spread more information and make the citizens and soon to be citizens of this country more aware of goodnesses rather than negatives attributes. Sweden is such a great society with high acceptance level. We only need to be more proactive to avoid any unwanted situation. With our expert team we can do a a lot more than even we can imagine.

General Information
The association Afous-Afous works with the Tuareg of the Sahara and Sahel, introducing the culture, history and way of life. The Tuareg belong to the North African indigenous population, Amazigh (Berbers), originally leading a nomadic lifestyle stretching across many state borders. Majority of the Tuareg live in Niger, Mali and Algeria, smaller groups also in Libya, Mauritania and Burkina Faso.
Mission and Objectives

We aim to be an informative channel in Finland of the Tuareg, as well as on the current situation of the Tuareg areas. We wish to promote human rights and equality in the multi-ethnic communities in Sahara and Sahel and work in projects that preserve the culture, living areas and quality of life of the Tuareg. Our aim is also to be an intermediate between the Tuareg and Europe.

Main Projects / Activities

Afous-Afous has participated in several cultural and educational projects in the Sahel area. In Finland we inform about the Tuareg by organizing cultural events and seminars, and by producing informative materials. We are also giving a platform in Finland for the Tuareg to speak about themselves by inviting cultural, political and intellectual members of the Tuareg community to Finland. We work in a tight co-operation with associations both in Sahara and Sahel, as well as in Europe. We are also maintaining tight relations to the academic world in Finland.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We can bring the expertise of the Tuareg, Amazigh and North-Africa, Sahara and Sahel regions as well as work together with other associations in the network.

General Information
Babel Initiative est une association de loi 1901. Depuis 2006, année de sa création, elle est menée par des étudiants. Elle vise à promouvoir les liens entre les pays de la Méditerranée et du Moyen-Orient, et une meilleure compréhension de cette zone touchée par d'importantes mutations. L’objectif de notre association est de faire connaître cette région en présentant ses différentes facettes. Nous agissons en tant que plate-forme pour des projets de recherches initiés et menés par des étudiants formant des groupes de travail de une à quatre personnes. Chaque année, nous offrons la possibilité aux étudiants sélectionnés de mener à bien leurs travaux sur un pays choisi au préalable, et de participer à un séjour d'étude, qui constitue une étape décisive dans la réalisation de leurs projets. Pendant une semaine, les étudiants procèdent à un réel travail de terrain. Ils peuvent ainsi compléter leur projet et découvrir le pays de manière approfondie, grâce à des rencontres avec différents responsables politiques et économiques, mais aussi un ensemble d'acteurs de la société civile (chercheurs, artistes, chefs des communautés religieuses, ONG...) et en vivant chez l'habitant. Ainsi l'année dernière la délégation qui s'est rendue en Tunisie a rencontré de grandes figures publiques à l’instar de Beji Caid Essebsi, l'actuelle président tunisien récemment élu, Rafik Abdessalem, la caricaturiste Nadia Khiari ou encore des hauts responsables syndicaux de l’UGTT et de l’UTICA. Les étudiants confrontent ainsi leurs connaissances théoriques et académiques à la réalité. Cette recherche de contact direct est complétée par la rencontre avec des étudiants du pays, et les liens ainsi tissés alimentent et diversifient la découverte du pays et de ses problématiques. Les projets, qui peuvent prendre différentes formes (mémoire de recherche, reportage vidéo, exposition photo), sont présentés lors d'un colloque aux autres étudiants du campus, à ceux de l'Université de Nice, aux habitants de Menton, et de manière plus large à toute personne intéressée. Lors de ce colloque, les projets sont confrontés à la critique de spécialistes des problématiques étudiées.  Nous avons l’espoir de contribuer aux réflexions menées sur les enjeux centraux de cette région qui nous passionne. Nous partageons la conviction que par cette initiative estudiantine, réunissant des jeunes d’horizons multiples, nous oeuvrons à l’échange inter culturel et à la promotion de la recherche sur la zone Méditerranée Moyen Orient. Notre association se compose de huit membres du bureau Babel : Isabelle Poulet Présidente de l'association, soutien aux postes de communication, et contacts. Madeleine Canavesio Vice-Présidente de l'association, soutien au poste logistique, et suivi des groupes. Cassandre Spiliopoulos  Trésorière, responsable des récoltes de fonds. Khelil Mehenni  Coordinateur de la logistique. Buse Cetin et Gürcan Gülersoy  Responsables de la logistique en Turquie. Sara Furxhi  Responsable communication visuelle. Silvia Rizzotto  Responsable communication de la région PACA. Les projets sont au nombre de neuf comprenant 26 étudiants. Pour mettre en oeuvre notre projet nous comptons sur la générosité de nos sponsors. Nos partenaires actuels sont : BNP Paribas, Sciences Po campus de Menton, Ethix, CROUS Nice Toulon, Mairie de Menton. Nous avons aussi des partenaires culturels qui nous permettent de diffuser nos recherches : Partenaires culturels : Orient XXI, Samar Media, Crosswords, Amnesty International. Partenaires média : Radio France, TV5 Monde. Réseau : FACE 06.
Mission and Objectives

Le projet de Babel est un engagement citoyen qui tente de répondre à deux problématiques :
Premièrement, nous manquons en Europe de connaissances positives sur les pays du pourtour méditerranéen alors même que nous partageons une histoire et des problèmes de société communs. De cette ignorance nait la peur de l’ « Autre » et ses conséquences que nous connaissons trop bien.
Deuxièmement, la Méditerranée, autre fois zone de partage est aujourd’hui une frontière naturelle entre une Europe qui se barricade et des pays en extrême mutation.
A partir de ces deux constats, notre association a construit un projet ayant pour but, premièrement d’apporter notre participation à l’immense travail de recherche et de banalisation/diffusion du savoir sur les pays du pourtour Méditerranéen et deuxièmement de recréer un lieu d’échange et de partage pour les jeunes de la Méditerranée.

Main Projects / Activities

Chaque année nous choisissons un pays différent ( Egypte, Iran, Qatar, Liban, Jordanie, Maroc, Grèce, Tunisie). Pour l'année universitaire 2014-2015, nous avons choisi de nous intéresser à la Turquie. Vingt-six étudiants ont été sélectionnés pour mener à bien leurs travaux de recherche.
L’année est ponctuée par de nombreux évènements :
- Une semaine culturelle turque, du 2 au 8 février 2015: Destinée à introduire le pays sur le campus et dans la ville de Menton par son prisme culturel (danse, théâtre, musique, dessin…), avec une conférence présentée cette année par Pinar Selek sur le thème du génocide arménien et la venue d'un réalisateur.
- Un séjour d'étude en Turquie, du 21 février au 1 mars 2015. Les vingt-six étudiants de quatorze nationalités différentes, accompagnés de huit membres du bureau, sont partis réaliser un travail d’analyse et de recherche afin de ne pas s'arrêter à une étude des écrits, mais de se rendre compte de la réalité du terrain. Lors de cette semaine ils ont rencontré des universitaires, hommes politiques, journalistes, business-man, urbanistes,artistes et étudiants.
- Un colloque, le 18 avril 2015. Celui-ci est la concrétisation d’un an de travail et de recherche puisqu’il permettra aux élèves de Sciences Po d’exposer le résultat de leur étude, puis de confronter leurs réflexions à celles d'un intervenant invité pour l’occasion : Mme Riva Kastoryano. Cet évènement est le moment de discuter des projets des étudiants avec un public composé d'étudiants, d'associations ( Amnesty, LDH), de fondations, de représentants régionaux...
L'objectif final de notre année est de réussir à faire publier nos recherches dans les revues de Sciences Po, de l'IRIS, de Confluences Méditerranées.
Nous avons également été choisis cette année pour participer à l'émission Maghreb Orient Express sur TV5 Monde afin de mettre en lien un projet de l'an dernier sur la Tunisie ( les couleurs de la contestationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvNyn7QCanQ) avec un de cette année autour de la problématique comment les jeunes s'emparent-ils de l'espace public comme source de contestation?

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Nous partageons les mêmes valeurs et nous voulons tout comme vous promouvoir le dialogue interculturel. Nous nous spécifions plus précisemment sur le dialogue entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée puisque notre zone de recherche est tournée vers les pays du Moyen-Orient et de la Méditerranée. Notre association a travaillé jusqu'aujourd'hui sur 11 pays de la zone: Turquie, Egypte, Iran, Qatar, Bahreïn, Koweit, Liban, Jordanie, Maroc, Grèce, Tunisie.
