OPEN HORIZONS aims at strengthening public awareness of the need to support human rights and the fundamental freedoms of a tolerant and open society. Our priority is to encourage the dialogue and cooperation between grassroots, representatives of the civil society, policy making bodies and institutions in Europe and especially in countries in transition. Essentially we’re aiming at addressing an open invitation for intercultural dialogue and creating a floor of social reflection, where everyone is equally contributing to a more creative and viable society. We respond to the growing needs for acceptance and respect to diversity, with a number of projects which are focused on sectors such as culture, education and training, involving the general public and especially youth in actions and best practices towards supporting human rights, equal opportunities as well as intercultural and anti-racist education
By informing and sensitising the general public and especially young people, the activities of Open Horizons help shape a pluralistic and more tolerant society. The main axis of these activities is the World Human Rights Arts Festival, an annual cultural institution dedicated to respect for the “Other”, which every year presents timely but always significant themes such as: 1st Festival 2001 “Identity and Diversity”, 2nd Festival 2002 “Bio Vision – Bioethics & Arts”, 3rd Festival 2003 “For a Culture of Equal Opportunities”, and 4th Festival 2004 “The Other Body”, in the wake of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Athens. The 5th Festival is on the theme of “Rediscovering Gender: New Roles – New Rights?”. Educational activities: Production of the Greek edition of the Council of Europe publication: "The European Convention on Human Rights - Starting Points for Teachers.

Association for Arab Youth-Baladna (Baladna) was founded in February 2001 as a development and capacity-building organization for Arab-Palestinian youth who are citizens of Israel. Baladna, which means home in Arabic, provides the resources and practical tools for youth activism and positive idea exchanges within the Arab-Palestinian community in Israel. It offers a non-partisan, comfortable and safe environment in which to nurture their individual and collective identity and empower them with the skills necessary to be leaders. Baladna is committed to strengthening Arab-Palestinian youth’s understanding and application of the principles of democracy, leadership, gender equality, pluralism and tolerance within discussion and debate programs regarding the history, grievances and culture of Palestinians in Israel as well as in the Occupied Territories and in the Diaspora
Focusing on topics related to identity, leadership skills, gender equality, public achievement, community service and democracy, Baladna has formed twenty-three youth groups for Arab-Palestinian youth (14-17) to participate in nationwide. A university student leads each youth group and receives a scholarship for their efforts. Baladna holds monthly workshops in Haifa to train the youth group leaders on a specific topic. The following month, they are responsible for planning a program for the youth that incorporates the skills and knowledge that they learned during the workshop. In addition, Baladna arranges national conferences and events that enable youth to interact with their peers from different regions, faiths and socio-economic backgrounds in Israel and abroad.
