General Information
Le CIREM est une fondation privée à but non lucratif, spécialisée dans la recherche appliquée et l’assistance conseil en matière sociale. Administré par un Conseil d’Administration dont les membres sont issus du monde universitaire, de l’entreprise, de la politique…, il compte avec une trentaine de professionnels, sociologues, économistes, géographes, politologues... ainsi qu’avec un vaste réseaux de collaborateurs spécialisés. Les ressources budgétaires annuelles disponibles s’élèvent à 3.250.000,00 euros : elles proviennent des administrations et entreprises locales, régionales et nationales, fonds de la Coopération Espagnole, de l’UE et d’institutions internationales. Le CIREM travaille dans la réalisation d’études et le développement de projets d’assistance technique en matière sociale, notamment les politiques de l’emploi, la formation et le développement territorial. La fondation travaille en partenariat avec d’autres acteurs espagnols, européens et méditerranéens engagés sur les questions sociales : universités, centres de recherche, organisations sociales, associations, bureaux d’études...
Mission and Objectives

Créé en 1989, le CIREM est un organisme indépendant, à vocation de service public, qui se caractérise par son objectivité et la recherche de qualité et d’innovation.
Sa mission est celle de contribuer à l’amélioration des politiques publiques et de soutenir la résolution des problèmes auxquels se heurtent nos sociétés, moyennant l’actualisation de la connaissance et de son application, de nouveaux outils de travail et des méthodologies adaptées, permettant de dépasser les cadres d’intervention traditionnels.
Le CIREM travaille également au renfort des organisations sociales et participe au progrès des sociétés les moins développées de la région méditerranéenne et à leur intégration économique dans le contexte européen. Sur cette même ligne, le CIREM étend également ses activités dans d'autres sociétés émergentes de l'Amérique Latine.

Main Projects / Activities

La Fondation encadre ses projets dans trois grands domaines d’intervention :
• Ressources humaines et formation
• Emploi et politiques sociales
• Villes et territoire
Ces domaines d’analyse lui permettent de répondre de façon appropriée aux besoins issus de la nouvelle configuration mondiale caractérisant l’après guerre froide, où se regroupent de nouveaux phénomènes et problèmes sociaux liés à la gouvernance, aux nouveaux flux sociaux, aux déséquilibres économiques ou au besoin d’une croissance durable. Le CIREM étudie également la situation du marché de l'emploi, la formation continue, le développement local ou encore les politiques sociales.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Nous souhaiterions jouer un rôle actif dans l’élaboration du travail de la FAL à l’échelon national, en mettant à contribution notre expérience européenne mais aussi celle que nous avons cumulée dans le bassin méditerranéen. Nous espérons entrer en contact avec les organisations partenaires avec lesquelles pouvoir échanger, voire même collaborer, et, plus largement, prendre part aux activités organisées par la FAL.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Nous partageons avec la FAL le souhait de contribuer au rapprochement des populations des deux côtés de la Méditerranée en vue d’améliorer le respect mutuel entre les cultures. Ceci ne peut se faire, nous semble-t-il, que par la mise en relation d’un maximum d’acteurs diversifiés des différents pays concernés. En ce sens, le réseau FAL constitue une véritable opportunité à laquelle nous souhaiterions contribuer.
Aussi, nous partageons la vision promue depuis la FAL dans ses multiples recommandations aux pouvoirs décisionnaires et aux institutions et adhérons aux valeurs communes du réseau. En plus, dans nos activités nous sommes concernés par plusieurs de ses domaines d’intérêt, notamment l’éducation, la jeunesse, les villes et les migrations.

General Information
Centropa is a Jewish history institute with offices in Vienna and Budapest. We have six full time and eight part time employees. Our annual budget is less than €1.000.000 per year, and the majority of funding comes from family foundations around the world as well as federal ministries in Germany, Austria, Spain, Czech Republic and Hungary. We hold international teacher seminars each summer and work to build bridges between Jews and non Jews, Americans and Europeans. We work closely with Jewish museums, pedagogical institutes and education ministries in seven countries.
Mission and Objectives

Our mission consists of two parts: to use advanced technologies to capture Jewish memory, and then disseminate our projects to the widest audiences possible. Our goal is to create a project that is less about how Jews perished during the Holocaust, but is much more about how they lived--before, during and after. The concept: to create a digital bridge back to a world that you and I can no longer physically visit, but is one that lives on in the stories and old photographs of elderly Jews still living in fifteen European countries. Since few Jewish families remain in Bulgaria, Bosnia, Serbia and Greece, we emphasize our Balkan projects, and also work inside the Jewish community of Turkey.

Main Projects / Activities

Although we interviewed 1,300 elderly Jews, we did not use video in these interviews nor did we focus on the Holocaust. Instead, we collected 25,000 old family pictures, digitized them and set them into a searchable online database. We are now creating an innovative, online educational program that relies on short multi media films, followed by online study guides. We bring teachers from various backgrounds and countries together to watch these films in small groups, then work with other teachers to help them implement the programs in their classes.

General Information
The Young Muslim Women (JMÖ) is the first and only, German-speaking organization for young Muslim women and girls from the age of 15. They are an independent association led by and for selfconfident, young Muslim women. Through their work they support and accompany young women and their projects dealing with various issues and so they form a nationwide, multi-ethnic and interdisciplinary network. They promote and encourage the education, independence, mobility and personality development of young Muslim women as well as a modern understanding of Islam through the various activities they offer. In this way the young women´s and girl´s personalities are strengthened and they become professionally qualified as well.
Mission and Objectives

Women in general and Muslim women particularly are rarely found on leading positions and they hardly participate in social processes. These are facts as well as images inside the heads of many people. We want to change the unfortunate facts as well as the negative images inside the heads: our islamic feminism demands education, independence, an active participation in social processes and a compact and a functioning network for young women and girls. The aim we want to reach is that the Muslim women stands for education, strength, modernity and activism. An European-islamic identity is of course a part of it.

Main Projects / Activities

Twice a year the JMÖ organises its nationwide meeting called: “SISTERS GO”. Since the first meeting in August 2005 the SistersGO is the first and only nationwide activity organised by and for women.
Workshops, working groups, lectures, seminars and educational projects are also part of our program. Having this in mind we organised the successful cooperation project with the Federal Ministry of Social Security, Generations and Consumerism and the Muslim Youth of Austria. “FATIMA 2005 – A Qualification Offensive for Young Muslim Women”. (www.projektfatima.at)
We also pay attention to our health and support it through fitness and sports. No day passes on SistersGo without sports, no week without swimming, running, bowling, gym activities and no year without our participation in the Austrian “Frauenlauf”.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Young Muslim Women Austria are the first and only, German-speaking organization for young Muslim women and girls.
We want to refer our experience of many years in the interdisciplinary network to many people and so they also can profit from our know-how. Additionally we can also do networking within the Muslim community because we have direct access to them.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

First of all it is important for us to actively participate in discussions to contribute our opinion to several topics. Furthermore it´s import for us to network and cooperate with other NGO´s and Organizations with different targets.
