General Information
We are a newly established non-governmental organisation in Valencia (Spain) which aims at fostering the idea of an active European citizenship through the organisation of innovative and creative cultural events. We seek to raise awareness among a public in Valencia on social and political topics such as sustainable development, intercultural dialogue, or gender issues. Our main geographical focus is Valencia and its outskirts so far, but we would like to open our network more and more to international cooperations, in particular across Europe and the Mediterranean. At the moment, we are a voluntary organisation, managed by a Governing Board (President, Vice-President, Spokesperson, Treasurer, and Secretary), all experienced experts in the arts and international cooperation projects. In addition, we have 40 members and friends and are constantly growing. Our annual budget is made up of membership fees, local/regional funding (Culture and Youth funds of the Region and City of Valencia), private sponsoring (website, translations, catering) and through in-kind contributions by our partner organisations (Institut Francais, UNESCO, Mercado de Fuencarral, Asociació Juvenil Amics de la Casa de la Demanà, Intermon Oxfam and others). In addition, in addition to the participation in the ALF campaign "Restore Trust, Rebuild Bridges", we are currently preparing our first European cooperation with the Association of the Local Democracy Agencies, a European NGO with focus on active citizenship activities. Our estimated annual budget this year amounts to approximately 40,000Euro. Since February, we have organised one event per month: launch and networking event at the Mercado de Fuencarral of Valencia; a guided tour through a photo exhibition of Axel Huette at the IVAM in Valencia; a European Film Night on Climate Change; and a Summer Festival on Environmental Awareness Raising at El Saler (close to Valencia). Our next programmed events include the photomarathon in September; a film event on gender issues; a guided bike tour through difficult suburbs of Valencia and an innovative training scheme on active European citizenship for NGOs and local authorities.
Mission and Objectives

Our main objective is to foster an active European citizenship and raise awareness on political and social issues (such as climate change, intercultural dialogue, gender issues and so forth) through the organisation of innovative and creative cultural events.
In more concrete:
a) Development and promotion of cultural activities relating to a European/international focus such as exhibitions, themed nights, talks and discussions, promotion of the theatre, literature, films and documentaries, and so forth.
b) Promotion, stimulation and advancement of knowledge about the European Union, social and political issues, bringing together Europeans living together in Valencia to foster a European/international spirit among citizens.
c) Promotion of exchange, dialogue and collaboration with other associations having the same interest in promoting culture and art in all its facets as an intrinsic part of an active European citizenship.
d) Dissemination of activities through a website and creating a network of contacts to help develop new projects for the same purpose.

General Information
We're a young association created to allow women's civil and political empowerment. The majority of us are immigrant women, around fourthies, with a very little political experience. And, the ones with political experience, its from other country or culture. So, to be real citizens, we're making reunions, seminars, conferences. So, we can talk about different topics, like the legislative organizations; the comparison between laws; the women rights, and so on... We work in feminism, as a tool to became conscious minded. We also try to visit buildings, like the Catalan Parlament; or the European one. There we can make interviews to the politicians and then we can confront experiences. Travelling is also a good way to engage confidence, and to put women out of their normal rol. We normally make other activities, around the abortion laws; the immigrant situation in the country, and all other issues that affect us, for example against racism, or xenophobia. Our budget is really small, because we only ask for financiation if we're travelling, or inviting people to Barcelona. And we'd found good allies in the European Parliament.
Mission and Objectives

Our main objective is to allow women to became conscious of themselves, their importance in the society, and the immense influence they can have in politics.
We are walking in the feminist road; but, as immigrant women we're also fighting for reach political goals (against racism; against fascism; to allow political visualization of women), all of that with a lot of local women.
We believe that in the constructions of the projects grows the confidence. And that confidence is essential win the stereotypes.

Main Projects / Activities

Till now, our main goal was to create confidence in women.
And lot of them are now participating as representatives of DONES DEL MÓN in the "Consells de Dones" (Women Councils) not only in Barcelona neighborhoods, but also in the City's one.

Making difusion; offering our network to be partners; bringing our views to different projects.

Nowadays things and projects are thought for young people (and that's very very important), but, many adult women couldn't enjoy their youth as "person", but only as workers, or mothers... and we try to allow them to do that difficult step with us.
