General Information
CREA is a platform which integrates several nation-wide associations that work for Human Rights and and european consciousness promotion, transparency and for the creation of stable channels of impulse for citizen participation. It is registered as a non-profit organization in the National Associations Registry of Spain’s Ministry of Interior (Registro Nacional de Asociaciones, Ministerio del Interior), a member of the Spanish Youth Council (CJE) and currently has presence in the following regions of Spain: • Galicia • Andalucía • Comunidad de Madrid • Comunidad Valenciana • Principado de Asturias
Mission and Objectives

CREA's mission is directly linked to the great economic depression caused in 2011. CREA is understood not only as a resource center but also as a solution for the small municipalities of Spain focusing more in areas with high unemployment and few resources. It offers the oportunity to join nation-wide associations in a common search for promoting actions, services and projects that allows the organization to enhance the public-private partnership.
In our structure, municipalities provide technical support, knowledge and presence on the ground, together with the adequate supervision to ensure the maximun compliance with transparency and quality standards, while the associations, companies and other structures provide instrumental resources and support for the actions proposed by CREA.

This way, CREA is configured as a resource center that receives petitions and ideas from its members, creates a draft of the project, and then shapes and monitorizes it, supporting the members and improving the quality of the received proposals.

Main Projects / Activities

All the projects are structured by CREA under the principles of the document "Misión, Visión y Valores para la Participación de los Pequeños y Medianos municipios 2014-2020", which states the basic ideas and principles of the association. These project are stuctured under the following working structures:
-Youth programs
CREA collaborates with the European program ERASMUS +. The association, under direct collaboration with Town Halls and local institutions offers the opportunity to stay abroad for volunteering. 
-Programs for women and equal opportunities
CREA celebrates meetings and sessions in order to boost opportunities with the program "Mujer +45". This program is created in association with the City Halls of Galicia and Andalucía. 
-Department of Public Health programs
Diffusion of the objectives to fight drug dependency stated in the Declaration by United Nations and collaborate with associations against the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. 
-Department of Employment and Entrepreneurship programs 
This initiative seeks, under the Funding Tools of the European Union and the ERASMUS for Entrepreneurs program, to provide young people living in the district members of CREA the processing, guidance and information environment for youth exchanges, short stays abroad and the promotion of ideas to fix human capital in the rural environment.

General Information

NGO “ From idea to development” (hereinafter – NILA)  is established in 2009 and it takes action in the West of Latvia – in the small city Pavilosta which is a country- side area (along the River and Baltic Sea). NILA  is established to encourage young people from country-side to be as competitive as those from big cities. NILA tries to offer different kind of possibilities that usually are not accessible in country-side, but only in big cities. The main objectives of the organization is social integration, education and development of human resources of young people in order to promote the development of Pavilosta district as well as to encourage participation of young people (in the civil life as well as European community). NILA tries to develop the ways of qualitative free time spending of young people in Pavilosta and to encourage young people to be aware of European citizenship. We stress on the importance of cooperation with young people of other European countries to broaden up the scope of young people from rural environment. Pavilosta is a small town in the West Latvia with potentially active and educated youth. NILA is very motivated to raise the self-assessment and change the perception of life of young people with having limited financial and social resources. Creation of youth groups, lectures, joint activities, trainings and international experience are the main activities to achieve the goal - the social integration and active participation in social activities regardless the origin of the youth (decrease the gap of the possibilities between the youth in the cities and in the regions of Latvia). Support of Local Government, school and social workers is a key to organize the social inclusion in the town and involve the young people who require these activities the most. NILA is proud of our young people who are really interested in cooperation with other European organizations to be able to get to know each other, to share experience, to discuss and to face with different cultures. Our young people are interested in outdoor activities (sports, games, socializing activities etc.) as well as in culture, education and cooperation activities.

Mission and Objectives

General Information
CREA es una organización sin ánimo de lucro que nace en el año 2011 para responder a una fuerte situación de crisis económica que estaba provocando la desaparición de servicios en el ámbito rural así como una gran destrucción de entidades del tercer sector.    Conscientes de la importancia que determinadas áreas de trabajo ( Igualdad, Juventud , Participación Ciudadana y Cultura ) tienen para los pequeños municipios de España con los que se trabaja así como de la necesidad de mantener a salvo al pequeño tejido asociativo de España y sus territorios, nació CREA como punto de encuentro y CENTRO DE RECURSOS con la misión de fortalecer al pequeño sector local y garantizar la pervivencia de los servicios en nuestras áreas de trabajo en los pequeños municipios, incorporándoles de forma transversal la necesidad de conectarse, a través nuestra, con las instituciones comunitarias y foros internacionales que, actualmente, no cuentan con representación de la voz de los pequeños núcleos urbanos que CREA representa.
Mission and Objectives

CREA está conformada actualmente por 5 empleados contratados incluyendo 1 Gerente. 
Junto con esto agrupa a 20 voluntarios repartidos por 6 Comunidades Autónomas de España ( Galicia, Asturias, Comunidad de Madrid, Andalucía, Comunidad Valenciana y Extremadura ) 
Presupuesto 2014 - 60.000 Euros 
Procedencia presupuesto - 60 % Presupuesto Público / 40% Presupuesto Fondos propios ( Cuotas , donaciones y patrocinios privados )

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

CREA representa la voz de los pequeños municipios, de los núcleos urbanos y las pequeñas entidades locales que no tienen capacidad para, en solitario, hacer llegar sus ideas a las redes de ámbito internacional. 
Por ello, CREA puede contribuir aportando el contacto directo con más de 15 corporaciones locales en municipios de varias CC.AA de todo el Estado con especial atención a las presentes en las zonas ribereñas del mediterráneo así como la capacidad de interlocución que actualmente la entidad representa y aglutina. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Desde CREA deseamos trabajar para garantizar que la voz de los pequeños municipios de España así como de las pequeñas entidades del tercer sector que actualmente no tienen capacidad para , en solitario, participar en los grandes foros internacionales esté representada. 
Nuestra entidad trabaja desde el año 2012 para promover el fomento de la Alianza de Civilizaciones así como los acuerdos estratégicos con el tercer sector en el mediterráneo para garantizar que las personas que participan en ambas orillas del mediterráneo puedan establecer vínculos y converger de forma no etnocéntrica enriqueciendo el acerbo cultural común. 
Por ello desde CREA queremos trabajar para contribuir a fomentar el establecimiento de esos puentes así como de las líneas de trabajo que la entidad posibilita con el apoyo de nuestros municipios y redes integradas.

Mission and Objectives

We are striving to
- enhance young people's awareness of the social and political issues of their region and their time
- stimulate a self determined perception and judgement of social reality
- help resist indoctrination and incitement to violence
- train youth in speaking up and expressing their opinion
- offering an occasion to get to know young people from other parts of the world and learn about their society and culture
- help them communicate with people from other countries in a foreign language
- stimulate an attitude of, and appropriate skills for active citizenship
- stimulate reflection on issues of national identity:  what it means to be a "European"/A Jewish Israeli/A Palestinian etc.
In 2013, Evelyn Böhmer-Laufer has  received the Honorary Cross for Science and the Arts from the Austrian Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture for ten continuous years of peacecamp work.

Main Projects / Activities

The main activities are annual "peacecamps" - multicultural encounters of four different groups of young people. They always involve Palestinian and Jewish Israelis and two European groups - one from Austria plus one from a country  behind the former Iron Curtain. So far we had Slovenian and Hungarian groups participating in peacecamps.
peacecamps' main activities are:
- getting-to know the "other's" culture, religion, history, society, nation, social reality, etc.
- learning the narrative of the "other"
- cope with mission impossible challenges
- debating (listening, arguing, speaking up one's mind)
- talking/presenting issues to an audience
- going on stage (giving a speech, a presentation, performing on stage)
- show4peace and welcome reception with speeches, awards and many invited guests (public figures and private persons)
Our experience is based on 12 peacecamps which we have realized since 2004, each new and different from the previous ones in many respects - with a different focus, different workshops, team-members, workshop-leaders and participants each time.
Right now peacecamp no. 13 is in preparation for July 2015.
 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

General Information
Aziza BENRAHAL est  Consultante Formatrice et Coach. Elle accompagne, les managers, collaborateurs et consultants à créer une dynamique individuelle et collective performante dans un environnement multiculturel par le biais du coaching et de la formation en management interculturel.  Son parcours professionnel, d’une vingtaine d’années, allie des expériences en France, au Maroc et s’ouvre à l’international. De ce parcours pluridisciplinaire, elle a expérimenté l’ouverture sur différents horizons et a pu constater la diversité des fonctionnements humains selon les contextes et les cultures. Cette interculturalité qui marque son parcours professionnel, s’ancre dans son identité multiculturelle et empreint ses études. Ce rapport particulier à l’interculturalité, associé à son approche pragmatique, lui permettent d’appréhender la dimension culturelle dans l’interaction des gens de cultures différentes.  Ainsi, elle a mis au point une méthode de coaching permettant aux expatriés d’optimiser leur mode de communication et d’interaction pour créer une dynamique individuelle et collective performante.
Mission and Objectives

En tant que consultante, j'ai pour vocation de créer une alliance entre la culture marocaine et la culture française par le biais d'une offre de services dans le domaine de la formation interculturelle et du coaching. J'accompagne en particulier les équipes françaises qui travaillent dans un environnement multiculturel que cela soit dans le cadre de leur collaboration avec des filiales installées au Maroc ou dans le cadre de la diversité au sein même de la France.
Ma mission est de faire acquérir la compétence intreculturelle pour favoriser une collaboration efficace ainsi que le mieux vivre ensemble.

Main Projects / Activities

Synergies Interculturelles cabinet en cours de création.

Un projet de thèse de doctorat en prenant une étude de cas : L'exemplarité de la cohabitation des juifs et des musulmans au Maroc en dépit des aléas de l'histoire.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

J'ai le projet d'animer un "café interculturel". C'est un rendez-vous mensuel qui sera l'occasion à des expatriés comme moi, de prendre conscience de l'impact de la culture sur les comportements personnels et professionnels. Et également de comprendre le fonctionnement du filtre culturel et de faire ainsi un rapprochement entre celui de la culture de leur pays d'origine et celui de la culture du pays d'accueil. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Le domaine interculturel n'est pas seulement le domaine de mon activité professionnelle, il est aussi le domaine qui me passionne le plus.
Je souhaite intégrer ALF Network pour avoir l'occasion de participer au débat sur le dialogue interculturel dans la région euro méditerranéenne, la diversité culturelle et la cohésion sociale dans les sociétés méditerranéennes. En tant qu'expatriée marocaine vivant sur les deux rives méditerranéennes et en tant que consultante dans le domaine interculturel, je souhaite apporter ma contribution à ce sujet. Je serai heureuse de faire part de mon expérience personnelle et professionnelle et également de m'enrichir de celle des autres participants cela sera certainement profitable pour ma pratique dans le domaine interculturel. 
Je suis convaincue qu'en promouvant le dialogue interculturel ensemble, nous nous donnons les moyens d'œuvrer pour le mieux vivre ensemble dans cet ère marquée par la montée de l'extrémisme. En favorisant le dialogue interculturel Ensemble nous serons Ensemble contre l’antisémitisme, le racisme et l’extrémisme.

General Information
‘Paint Up!’ is the brainchild of co-founders Lana Chukri and Jubran Elias. After establishing a team of talented and bright designers with whom they graduated with called “Dihzahyners” – the duo brought the team together in 2012 to recreate and rejuvenate broken and gloomy spaces in Beirut through a series of urban and street art initiatives that were later known as “Paint Up!” volumes. In developing this, their social enterprise and non-profit organization was born and began evolving into a living, breathing entity that resonated with artists, enterprises, and people worldwide. Dihzahyners is a team of inspired, driven & passionate artists/designers, aimed at creating initiatives to make Beirut brighter & more beautiful, through color. After their first event in Sakiet El Janzier on April 8th, 2012, founders Lana Chukri & Jubran Elias established their NGO, ‘Paint Up!’ where they and their team continued to set up what they called ‘Volumes’ of paint installations and interventions around Beirut. The inspiration came after Chukri & Elias had been researching ways to help and connect with their country, through urban design, and intervening in the public spaces/locations in Beirut for a while, and found that painting particular places that needed some uplifting would be an ideal medium to do so. Because they were always keen on being inspired through researching visuals from around the world of street art, graffiti, outdoor and urban design, they felt as designers that they could contribute to this powerful use of communication and expression. By starting small, with a team of 12 members, and focusing on stairs, they found they could gain awareness for bigger areas that needed attention such as larger walls and broken down spaces around Beirut.
Mission and Objectives

There comes a time, where you’re standing, high on the fumes of the city, looking out to the horizon, where your blood boils and you want to be those walls. You want to speak, you want a voice, one that the entire city sees as they walk by every day. That’s what we set out to do. We wanted to be able to disrupt the city, in a peaceful and non-invasive way; in a way which brings the communities some clarity, and transforms stairs into the bridges that connect our streets and alleyways.
By empowering the urban fabric of our city, through paint, through color; we all become the walls, the stairs, and the streets. We all share in each others smiles, laughter, fears, noise and silence.

Main Projects / Activities

Since we’ve started, we’ve had 7 major Paint Up ‘Volumes”, 3 exhibitions, and we’ve also teamed up on initiatives with Beirut Art Center, Ayadina, Achrafieh 2020, Live Love Beirut, Beirut Green Project, Dispatch Beirut, Kroum Ehden, Tedx, and a personal favorite Achillea’s ‘Waiting for the train’.
