Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We wish to create new projects & find new partners, especially to foster human rights, equal opportunities for all, & intercultural learning.
Until now, we tried to do projects within EUROMED quite unsucessfully, because it is difficult to find partners in the north of Africa and once we got them, it was not possible to get visa. So we hope to overcome these problems with the support of the foundation too.
