RICHeS is a non profit NGO based in Rhodes Greece.

Mission:
RICHeS focuses on the 'international' element of local culture and heritage and wants to make connections with the overseas world, thereby making a contribution to cultural development and stimulating awareness and knowledge. With 'international' RICHeS means three things: the often overlooked influence of non indigenous civilizations on Rhodes' culture and heritage, the equally often overlooked influence of Rhodes on other cultures and the intention to actively connect Rhodes culturally with Europe and the Mediterranean region. RICHeS sees all historic constituent elements of Rhodes' culture and heritage as equally important, interesting and worth preserving. It is the mixture of classical Greek, Byzantine, medieval hospitaller, Ottoman, Sephardic Jewish, Italian colonial and modern Greek which makes Rhodes unique.
RICHeS wants:
To stimulate awareness, knowledge and study of the cultural heritage of Rhodes in general;
To stimulate awareness, knowledge and study of the international, multicultural and lesser known cultural heritage of Rhodes;
To increase cultural and heritage participation;
To increase public commitment to the preservation and improvement of this heritage.

Main Projects / Activities

Through the initiation, organization and development of various events and activities - both short- and long term - we try to achieve our mission.
Our mission and the projects/activities following from it are rooted in our vision of improving the overall cultural infrastructure in Rhodes through:
contributing to the cultural and intellectual climate in Rhodes;
contributing to a better understanding of the unique multicultural heritage of Rhodes and to help preserve this for future generations;
contributing to a better cultural understanding and appreciation between people of different backgrounds;
contributing to the establishment and promotion of Rhodes as a recognized first-class cultural destination;
contributing to the European and international cultural profile of Rhodes.
Main projects:

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

RICHeS would like to join the ALF Network in order to establish new or better relations with other (similar) organizations outside Rhodes in order to cooperate in potential international culture and heritage events and establish international networks. The 'International' in our name is essential in this respect.

General Information
AP2i est une association loi 1901 qui regroupe des individus (étudiants, artistes, professionnels, chercheurs, etc.) et qui est accompagnée d’organismes publics et privés. Elle rassemble aujourd’hui 12 bénévoles actifs, et 2 personnes en contrat de Service Civique. Le budget en cours pour l’année 2012-2013 est de 39 803euros. Ces sources de financement sont les Universités parisiennes (Paris III, IV, VII, VIII, Lyon), la Mairie de Paris, les villes partenaires aux projets, les sponsors propres aux projets, les bourses proposées par assurance (AVI, Labalette), Animafac pour les services civiques... Je vous invite à prendre connaissance du budget mis en pièce jointe. AP2i crée des projets concrets portés par des jeunes tous ancrés dans la pratique du dialogue interculturel (cf. ci-dessous). Des rendez-vous réguliers sont organisés afin de fédérer les bénévoles. Depuis cette année, elle organise des tables-rondes (café-labo) ainsi qu’un premier colloque en juin, évènement qui sera réitéré chaque année.
Mission and Objectives

AP2i -Agence de promotion et d’ingénierie interculturelles- a pour objet le développement de projets qui placent au cœur de leur problématique le dialogue interculturel. Par la promotion d’échanges interculturels, AP2i souhaite lutter contre les phénomènes d’exclusion et de rejet de l’autre qui naissent de l’ignorance; lutter contre le racisme et la peur de l’autre en créant des ponts entre les cultures.
Dans un monde de plus en plus globalisé où les différences risquent d’être écrasées par une culture mondiale, lissée selon un modèle prédominant, AP2i croit en la force des particularités comme l’origine d’un terrain d’échanges. Les actions d’AP2i sont surtout tournées vers le bassin méditerranéen, terre d’échanges culturels, économiques et migratoires, qui touche particulièrement les jeunes porteurs de projets de l’association.

Main Projects / Activities

MyMED est un itinéraire citoyen, un voyage d’enquête, de deux mois sera organisé en Méditerranée à la rencontre de jeunes artistes ou porteurs de projets afin d’étudier les interactions entre expression artistique et expression citoyenne. Avant, pendant et après le voyage, une plateforme, MyMED récoltera du contenu lié au travail fait questionnant la jeunesse, le rôle de l'art et de la culture, l'engagement citoyen et politique, et le rôle du web 2.0, en Méditerranée.
Les rencontres “ Regards croisés sur nos Cités” est un autre projet qui aura lieu en 2014 dans quatre villes de la Méditerranée avec 80 jeunes sur le thème “Villes[s] et ses mouvements”, pour lequel la photographie et la captation sonore seront les médias utilisés.
Enfin, le Labo, lieu d’échanges et de réflexions, animé par des chercheurs, des artistes, des professionnels et des porteurs de projets d’AP2i, a pour objet la discussion autour des enjeux interculturels.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

AP2i contribuera au réseau français en participant de façon active, avec tous ces jeunes volontaires, aux évènements proposés, où tous seront force de propositions et d’initiatives et pourront partager leurs expériences dans les domaines de l’interculturalité et du montage de projet, en particulier en Méditerranée
AP2i sera un membre actif du réseau et fera la promotion des actions du Réseau et de son appartenance à la FAL auprès de son propre réseau : partenaires, étudiants, chercheurs, artistes.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

AP2i aimerait rejoindre le réseau FAL pour intégrer un ensemble plus large et actif d’opérateurs des relations interculturelles et euroméditerranéennes où les membres peuvent se rencontrer lors d’évènements organisés par le Réseau et peuvent plus facilement échanger sur leurs activités respectives.
Rejoindre le réseau FAL serait pour AP2i une formidable opportunité de partager avec ces acteurs autour de projets, de bonnes pratiques et de savoir-faire. Nous sommes persuadés que nos actions iront de l’avant grâce aux rencontres faîtes avec des membres ayant les mêmes valeurs et objectifs que l’association.
De plus, devenir adhérent au Réseau, nous permettrait de développer des projets de plus grande envergure encore et de répondre aux appels à projets proposés par la FAL.
