General Information

Föreningen Interacts ändamål är att bedriva verksamhet där personer möts, samtalar och lär av varandra under jämlika förutsättningar. InterAct tror på samtalets och den mellanmänskliga interaktionens positiva kraft. Mellanmänskliga möten vidgar perspektiv och främjar förståelse och bidrar därigenom till att minska kunskapsklyftor och stereotypa föreställningar i samhället. Genom detta syftar föreningen bidra till ett mer inkluderande samhälle.

I nuläget är vårt sätt att genomföra detta på att driva verksamheten Världen finns här, i samarbete med bland annat ABF Göteborg och Göteborgs stad. Se nedan.

Mission and Objectives

Mission för Världen finns här: Vi brinner för att människor ska få mötas under trygga former och uppleva styrkan i personliga berättelser. Visionen är ett samhälle där vi ser värdet av att mötas med våra olika perspektiv och erfarenheter.

Main Projects / Activities

Världen finns här är ett arbetssätt som bygger på ömsesidigt lärande möten. Vi samordnar utbyten där en sfi-grupp och en grundskole- eller gymnasieklass matchas ihop. Genom personliga möten med samtal i smågrupper om teman kopplade till läroplanen blir de resurser för varandra. Därmed kan deltagarna utbyta kunskaper och perspektiv samt träna på kommunikation och demokratisk kompetens. Se gärna filmen på tre minuter på webbplatsen https://varldenfinnshar.se/ för att enkelt få en bild av vad det handlar om.

General Information

We want to take a moment to introduce "Marfaa", the Mediterranean Cultural Forum. We are
a newly established cultural organization, founded in 2023 and based in Istanbul, Turkey. Our
objective is to foster new horizons of cultural exchange and contribute to building bridges
between institutions and individuals working in the field of culture across the countries of the
Eastern Mediterranean.
The cities, ports, and human settlements in the Eastern Mediterranean have been interacting
socially, economically, and culturally with each other and with other regions for over 4000
years. They share many similarities yet display important distinctions from each other. By
looking at the Eastern Mediterranean as a region, our work goes beyond the severing
framework of south/north and refocuses on a region that has deep shared historical, cultural,
and social ties. In recent years, the term "Eastern Mediterranean" has regained attention as a
result of displacement and migration between and from the countries of this region, affecting
various domains such as politics, economy, society, environment, and others.

At Marfaa, we believe in the importance of bridging the gap in cultural, intellectual, and artistic
exchange in the Eastern Mediterranean.
How will we do this?
Together, we seek to enhance networking between cultural institutions in the region,
contribute to the transfer of experiences and expertise, and create spaces for intellectual and
cultural dialogue and exchange, while breaking down language and ideological barriers among
these countries.
We believe in the importance of freedom, tolerance, and dialogue in creating a diverse and
multi-voiced cultural community. We seek to support cultural and artistic production and
provide platforms for artists and actors in this field, as well as to protect the shared heritage of
the region, especially in light of the conflicts, displacement, and climate change that threaten
this heritage.

this heritage.

Main Projects / Activities

Our programs include:
- "Mishkat" program for publishing and translation support, which aims to strengthen the
publishing and translation movement between the languages of Eastern Mediterranean
countries and support creative, critical, and research writings.
- "Manara" program for climate change and migration films, which aims to organize film
festivals to showcase independent films focusing on topics such as human rights, public
freedoms, migration and homeland, gender and feminism, heritage, and climate change.
- "Marsat" program for common musical heritage, which aims to organize musical events and
promote independent and alternative musical works and genres in the regiosn.

We look forward to open the door to productive cooperation to strengthen and enable cultural
exchange between the countries of our region. Thank you for your time and attention and for
all that you contribute to the regional cultural scene.

L’AFS Tunisie est une association de droit tunisien à but non lucratif et apolitique (Journal Officiel de la République Tunisienne No. 16 du 24/02/1989). Un bureau directeur composé de 6 membres élus suite à une assemblée générale, une directrice exécutive aidée par un assistante de direction et un cabinet comptable veillent à sa gestion.
L’AFS Tunisie est membre du réseau d’échange interculturel AFS Intercultural Programs de 1968 à 2003 en qualité de membre associé et depuis 2003 en qualité de partenaire à part entière. Elle est membre de la fédération EFIL depuis 1983.

Les ressources disponibles sur un an sont en moyenne de 25000 dinars sachant que les finances de l’association sont tributaires de l’accueil d’élèves étrangers qu’accompagne une contribution à la gestion administrative de 3000 $ par an.

L’association opère des programmes d’échange interculturel sur la base de la réciprocité avec les 60 partenaires membres du réseau AFS Intercultural Programs et qui ont pour objectifs l’éducation interculturelle/Acquisition de compétences globales. Ces programmes visent à une immersion totale dans la culture d’accueil pour des élèves de 15 à 17 ans accueillis par des familles volontaires et inscrits auprès d’établissements de l’enseignement secondaire publics. L’association organise par ailleurs et à l’attention des élèves, des éducateurs, des volontaires des séminaires de formation animé par des experts en sciences de l’éducation en présentiel ou en ligne qui ont pour objectif d'inculquer aux parties prenantes les paradigmes de l’objectif n°4 parmi les 16 objectifs de développement durable de l’ONU.

Mission and Objectives

AFS encourage ses participants à devenir des citoyens mondiaux et responsables qui œuvrent pour la paix et la compréhension dans un monde diversifié. Nous pensons que la paix n’est pas un concept figé et qu’elle est menacée par les injustices, les inégalités et l’intolérance. AFS cherche à affirmer sa foi en l’être humain, les nations et leurs cultures. Nous encourageons le respect des droits de l’Homme et des libertés fondamentales sans distinction ethnique, sexuelle, linguistique, religieuse ou sociale. Notre activité se base sur les valeurs de dignité, de respect des différences, de vivre ensemble, d’empathie et de tolérance.

ولذالك سوف نسعى من خلال مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي على تعزيز ثقافة القبول الاخر دون تميز للعرق او الون او الدين.
وايضا لا ننسى قضية مهمة جدا وهي المخدرات .
