ARDOR’s mission is to use academic debate as a non-formal educational tool that encourages argumentative dialogue and critical thinking. In Romania, there are approximately 50 debate clubs in high schools that function as extra-curricular activities, under the approval of the Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and Sports. Also, debate was recently recognized as an official elective for the high school curricula.
Our objectives are to engage the youth in educated, skillful argumentation and public speaking, to elevate their exigencies regarding the standards of public debates (political, in the media etc), to collaborate with the formal education system in order to maximize our impact, to collaborate with other associations whose causes could be supported through dialogue and quality debates.

Main Projects / Activities

Closer to Oxford (www.closer2oxford.ro) –online debates, argumentation and public speaking trainings, public debates with experts taking place in Universities; the project was awarded best educational project in 2011 (http://www.galasocietatiicivile.ro/view_comunicat.php?id=18)Debate@Euro… (ateurope.idebate.org) –ARDOR and 5 European countries encourage youth to debate online and offline on European topics.

Youth against discrimination –a series of national debates on sensitive motions regarding discrimination, supported by The National Council for Fighting Discrimination.
IDEA Youth Forum - Annual participation of Romanian teams, coaches, judges, trainers at the global debating event for high school debaters organized by the International Debate Education Association.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

ARDOR is the only association in Romania specialized in academic debate as an educational tool. With 14 years experience in organizing debate competitions, organizing and moderating public events, delivering trainings in debate formats, argumentation, public speaking, critical reading, composing debating curricula and establishing debate clubs, ARDOR could share its expertise with any Romanian NGO who needs a partner with the above qualifications. Also, ARDOR managed to build a strong reputation over the years (in 2011 it was awarded the best educational NGO - http://www.premiileineducatie.ro/gpo/) and has a community of excellent debaters performing at an international level and alumni who are currently great professionals. This gives us the credibility and legitimacy that many associations might look for when searching for partners.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We look forward to learn about associations in the Euro-Med region and collaborate with the ones that share our values and objectives. As a debate organization, we are energized by intercultural dialogue and new perspectives and ideas, and we hope we can find partners to work with to in order to improve our running programs but also to initiate strategic projects together.
Besides finding individual partners, membership to the ALF network gives our association more visibility in Europe and other Mediterranean countries. This facilitates a consortium of partners interested in enhancing capacities in civil societies through cross-sharing of best practices, developing donor relations and a platform for strengthening multi stake holder cooperation.

General Information
The Cinema for Peace Foundation office in Bosnia-Herzegovina works to contribute to local and regional reconciliation and justice through the creation of the Genocide Film Library. To successfully implement the project Cinema for Peace has a team totaling 13 individuals (8 full time staff, 2 part time staff, 1 project consultant, and 2 interns) and a yearly budget of approximately 400,000 Euro. Cinema for Peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina currently receives support from Foundation’s Headquarters in Berlin, the German Foreign Ministry under the auspices of the Stability Pact, and the Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Turkey. Each day the staff films 8–12 interviews of Srebrenica survivors, which are later edited, organized, and subtitled to be used for educational purposes. Cinema for Peace also collaborates with like-minded regional organizations on outreach and educational events, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, Sarajevo-based Gallery 11/7/95, and the Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial Center.
Mission and Objectives

The Mission of the Cinema for Peace Foundation’s Office in Bosnia-Herzegovina is to, over a five-year period, create the Genocide Film Library Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Genocide Film Library will incorporate 10,000 first-hand testimonies from Srebrenica genocide survivors and serve as an educational and historical resource that supports the prevention of future genocides.
Cinema for Peace has four major objectives with the Genocide Film Library: (1) Educate a variety of audiences – both domestic and international – by offering 10,000 factual, first-hand testimonies about the lives of individuals who survived the Srebrenica genocide. (2) Enhance the capacity of institutions (universities, museums, etc.) to educate students and visitors about genocide. (3) Empower genocide survivors as educators and encourage a paradigm shift in which individuals are not viewed as “victims,” but rather as “survivors.” (4) Contribute to the reconciliation processes in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the region through providing “truth telling” with the testimonials and surrounding activities.

Main Projects / Activities

Cinema for Peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina currently implements one major project, creation of the Genocide Film Library. This project entails a number of activities including working with Srebrenica genocide survivors to prepare them for interviewing, the process of filming testimonies, organizing and editing film footage, working through online outlets to disseminate interviews and related information, and outreach events to educate the public and further engage survivor communities.
Each day we are able to film 8-10 interviews, and over the course of each year we hold a number of outreach and educational events to further engage survivor communities and raise awareness in the general public.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The Srebrenica genocide occurred in July 1995 and resulted in the deaths of over 8,000 Muslim men and boys from eastern Bosnia-Herzegovina. Although the Srebrenica genocide has been recognized on an international level, genocide denial continues in BiH and throughout the Western Balkans. In addition to the prevalence of genocide denial within the region, there are no large scale efforts to provide a platform for war survivors to speak about their experiences, both helping them to feel their voices are heard and providing a spoken record of events for future education and scholarship on the region. Therefore, Cinema for Peace’s year-old Genocide Film Library project fills a void in the current social climate. Providing interviews for the project will become a means of empowering survivors as educators for future generations as well as a safe space to process their experiences in a supportive atmosphere. In this way, the project will contribute to the healing and empowerment of genocide survivors in Bosnia-Herzegovina, while also creating carefully crafted resources to be used in educating future generations about genocide and genocide prevention.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Cinema for Peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina strongly believes in creating a platform that empowers individuals and communities to engage in a productive dialogue about the events of genocide in hopes of processing the past for a better future. The main goals of the ALF Network tie directly into our own work as both organizations focus on mutual understanding and dialogue as a means to achieve peace and coexistence. In this way, Cinema for Peace would benefit greatly from being part of a network whose members hold the same values as they work towards social change. As a critical element of our mission is to work with like minded organizations and institution to further educate the public about the Srebrenica genocide, the ALF Network will provide a wide range of potential partners as the project progresses.

Mission and Objectives

Sindyanna main task is to build bridges between the two people living in Israel – Jews and Arabs. Its mission is to make peace in the Middle East through real economic empowerment and work opportunity.
Sindyanna believes that improving living standard through fair trade activity can strengthen the influence of the Arab community inside Israel and especially the Arab women, and hence will strengthen the struggle for peace, social justice and equality.
Our projects are implemented by Arab and Jewish collaboration. Arab community in Israel is segregated from Jewish community and there is little communication between them. Sindyanna succeeds in creating interaction between Arab and Jewish people through its fair trade activity. The action of Sindyanna contributes to create positive communication and to reduce the wall dividing the Israeli society.Our final goal is to build a just society from the grass roots level through economic empowerment of the marginalized communities.

Main Projects / Activities

Sindyanna runs a Visitor Center in one of the poorest Arab villages named Kufr Manda in the Galilee (northern part of Israel), where Arab and Jewish people can meet and create a constractive dialogue. Sindyanna's women team teaches traditional basket weaving to Arab and Jewish women, and encourage Arab women to assist their family economy. Our palm frond baskets reproduce traditional Arab basketry, which is based on olive and mastic branches. The fronds are especially strong and durable, and create a unique, attractive and authentic look.
Sindyanna also contributes to the development of Arab agriculture by planting olive groves on deserted Arab lands and help develop a modern and self sustainable economy for Arab farmers inside Israel

Main Projects / Activities
How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We can offer our international and interreligious contacts. We are part of networks on the national and regional level and could try to connect activities.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The initiative to join the Network came from Heinrich Georg Rothe, in charge of Christian-Muslim relations in our church (Islambeauftragter). It is strongly supported by Ralf Häußler, director of the "Zentrum für entwicklungsbezogene Bildung". Both work in the same department. Because of the legal structure of the church the church as a whole joins the network. The "Kirchenleitung" (directory) took this decision on August 21,2012. That allowss other departments of our church to participate in the activities of the network. - Especially the "Islambeauftragte" is developping international relations with institutions in the Middle East (Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, relations to Oman are developping), but also in European Countries (e.g. Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Turkey), in the field of Christian-Muslim Relations and Intercultural Relations. The same is true for the ZEB (Zentrum für entwicklungsbezogene Bildung). We are working in close cooperation with partners of other faith, cultural and ethnic background. As a church we are working in networks, as well as our Muslim partners in their own networks. We are working in fields of intercultural training, interrelitious dialogue, Human Rights, Gender Issues, and more.

General Information

The WEM Foundation is a non-profit cultural and scientific organisation (association) with a managing committee of seven members from Europe, the Arab World and Subsahara Africa. All permanent staff members work in an honorary capacity. The WEM has no regular budgetary resources apart from project fundings by German cultural and scientific foundations (in 2011: € 38.000 from Fritz Thyssen Foundation and Allianz Cultural Foundation). WEM staff and WEM members organize conferences with participants from Europe, the Arab World (Maghreb) and Subsahara Africa in Germany, France, Tunisia, Morocco and (in 2013) in Senegal. Main partner of WEM is the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa), Stuttgart und Berlin. The cooperation with other partners depend on the character of projects which are to be realized.

Mission and Objectives

Exchange and partial integration of cultural knowledge of Europe, the Southern Mediterranean countries and Subsahara Africa; creation of new contents and structures of knowledge by uniting elements from the ‘North’ and the ‘South’ in a ‘Euro-Mediterranean Space of Knowledge’ where – to give an example – you cannot deal with political theory in history without mentioning Machiavelli as well as Ibn Khaldûn; a main objective of WEM is to help to develop a ‘euro-mediterranean’ consciousness of mutuality, solidarity and unity.

Main Projects / Activities

The WEM staff as well as WEM members organize conferences with participants from Europe, the Arab World (especially the Maghreb) and Subsahara Africa. A concrete project is a virtual map of places which incarnate the intensive cultural exchange between Europa, the Southern Mediterranean World and Subsahara Africa, for example Tangiers, Granada, Weimar, Alexandria, Timbuktu. Another project is a German/European – Arabic dictionary of cultural and political key words with commentaries on the culturally specific semantics of each word.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The WEM Foundation could help to intensify the contacts of the German ALF Network with interested persons in the southern Mediterranean area. And it could help to deepen the relations of the Network to universities and schools.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The WEM Foundation wants to join the ALF network because it wants to support the mission of the ALF Network and because it is interested in new partners to cooperate with.
