Our vision - within five years - is to expose our youth to the youth of the world and bring cultures together. Youth of today with a correct understanding, appreciation and respect of the other cultures are the real leaders of tomorrow who will lead the world to peace and mutual respect between nations. We believe in small changes can make a big difference AND the real change starts from changing the attitude and mind.
1.In July 2010, we organized a youth camp for local youth.
2.In July 2011, we organized a cross culture camp. We brought Moroccan and American youth together.
3.In August 2013, we are planning to organize a youth leadership camp where we will bring Moroccan and European youth together (in addition to our first partner: American).
4.In 2014, we are targeting Asian youth (in addition to our previous partners: American & European).
5.In 2015, we are targeting African youth (in addition to our previous partners: American, European & Asian).
6.In 2016, we are targeting Australian youth (in addition to our previous partners: American, European, Asian & African)
The Aim:
Empower youth Leadership skills and expose both Latvian and Moroccan youth to the cultures of each other to deepen their awareness, acceptance and appreciations of the other culture.
Objectives of 2013 Camp:
By the end of the camp, participants will be able to:
1.Learn how to engage the skills learnt in planning for their personal life.
2.Plan, design, implement/lead and evaluate at least one activity.
3.Use basic knowledge and skills in English language to communicate their thoughts.
4.Learn at least 3 values from the other culture facilitate at least 3 values of her/his culture. And, recognizes differences and similarities of both cultures.
5.Appreciate other culture and understand that differences in cultures teaches the value of mutual respect and tolerance
6.Be engaged in at least one project or a research with a fellow from the other culture to plan for the next year camp.
Sustainability:
Youth will be involved in developing small projects for the future camp. The now participants will be leaders of their communities in the next camp. Each participant, with his /her fellow from an organization will take lead of organizing a camp in their community with youth from their communities and others from abroad partners. This year, we will have one camp with 26 participants from Elmers, Latvia, Skoura, Boulemane, Oumjniba, and Imouzzer Mermoucha. Next year, our hope is that the now participants will be leaders of a camp in their communities. So, we will be having 6 camps in different locations with at least 20 participants in each camp with partners from other countries. Each year we will involve associations from other parts of Morocco. By 2016, we will be able to build a bridge that links the 5 continents, promote cultural understanding and mutual respect among youth from the continents and open more opportunities for youth to initiate new exchanging ideas.

General Information

Classical Greece defined symposium as the meal where rich and poor alike, came together and conversed over food and wine, about their community’s shared concerns. Symposium is a not-for-profit company, largely staffed by a female board of directors, whom have been long involved in charity and community work, elected for limited terms and with voting rights. Supported by three permanently staffed employees; an operations manager, a project manger and writer, and an administrative worker, as well as a dedicated team of local fundraisers and volunteers whom are charged with the day-to-day operations. Symposium’s present-day work in rural Cyprus, long neglected by the majority of Nicosia based non-profits, focuses on progressive community development and stakeholder empowerment. Symposium’s rural efforts complement with the EURO-MED agenda for local and regional democratic development of the ALF network partners.

Mission and Objectives

Mission: Empowerment of marginalized stakeholders, the silent majority including men, women, children, elderly and migrant workers. Enhancing stakeholder engagement and education in the rural community that enhance grass roots democracy and socio-economic empowerment, in rural society, whilst concurrently supporting sustainable political and institutional development and enhancing the cultural perception of marginalized stakeholders. Objectives: (1). Improving rural marginalized stakeholder’s cultural perception, that enhances both their own, and that of the wider community’s political and socio-economic status. Promoting democratic institutional development and publishing social scientific research about stakeholder empowerment; (2). Generating socio-cultural awareness by sensitizing policymakers, public institutions and the public majority of marginalized stakeholder issues so as to enhance grass roots democracy and community decision making; (3). Providing stakeholder engagement and education that enhances their democratic, human rights and legally awareness, by enhancing marginalized stakeholder’s knowhow and voice in community participation and fairer public institutional decision-making.

Main Projects / Activities

AIDS / HIV Trainer Seminars and Community Awareness Raising 45 men and women educators and NGO trainers were trained to give HIV/AIDS education to vulnerable stakeholders. By raising gender health awareness about the threat of STD and reproductive health. The seminars raised issues of inadequate public health awareness education in schools, and how that could be rectified through informal ‘community’ discussions with teenagers and parents. Migrant Worker Seminars and Workshops An empowerment project/informational forum teaching marginalized stakeholders about their human rights, democracy and how to better legally organize themselves against public institutional human rights abuses. The seminars trained European Union and Third Country National migrant workers about their immigration issues, law, human rights and employment rights. Ending with interactive problem solving workshops to put their experiences to paper.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Symposium offers the ALF network in Cyprus and its Euro-Mediterranean partners a human understanding of marginalized rural stakeholder’s grass-roots challenges in democratic empowerment and community decision making, be they socio-economic developmental, legal, gender empowerment and environmental challenges that marginalized stakeholders continually face. Symposium, as the Cyprus ALF network, champions marginalized rural stakeholders, helping build sustainable democratic, inclusive and sustainable community institutions that meet their needs. By raising awareness of these problems, Cypriot NGOs, within the ALF network can lobby in the media to encourage politic debates for stakeholder inclusiveness. Cypriot NGOs within the ALF network are likely to play a crucial role in encouraging public institutional catharsis to support marginalized stakeholder’s community involvement and political empowerment

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Unlike the majority of Cypriot urban NGO’s, we support the neglected rural stakeholders whom we believe have an important societal role in the cultural, political and socio-economic fabric of a democratic and unified Cyprus. The ALF network provides the accumulated expertise and partnerships to enhance socio-cultural engagement and quality of service provision to rural stakeholders through grass roots democracy and stakeholder empowerment initiatives, which remain woefully weak in Cyprus. By joining the ALF Network, Symposium works towards enhancing grass roots democracy for traditionally marginalized rural stakeholders who have had little community ‘voice’ and decisional political power. The ALF Network NGOs partnership enables Symposium’s socio-political transformational enhancement of traditional rural and women stakeholder’s community decisional power, helping them build grass roots democratic accountability within uniquely Cypriot democratic and political institutions, that support sustainable and objective policy development by local stakeholders.
