At the time when the confrontation and the particularism cause conflicts and situations of exclusion and marginalization , the foundation "Trois Cultures" of the Mediterranean had assumed the commitment of promoting the coexistence between the cultures and the religions by the means of mutual knowledge and the exchange of ideas and experiences able to encourage a connection between the Mediterranean people.

Fundación Tres Culturas Leads ALF Mobility Project Hands-on"

Image
_DSC0994.jpg

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Fundación Tres Culturas, an organization within the Spanish Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF), joins forces with Fundación Fadila El Gadi to launch "Hands-on," a co-creation project. Selected by the Anna Lindh Foundation's fourth mobility call, "Hands-on" stands out among proposals from Mediterranean basin countries.

One of the brightest students from l’École de Broderie de Salé in Morocco, Nouhaila Mezrhab, embarks on her first international journey to Spain, sponsored by ALF, Fundación Tres Culturas, and Fundación Fadila El Gadi. Under the guidance of Entre Mantones y Seda, a women's association in Espartinas, Nouhaila immerses herself in traditional embroidery classes while collaborating with #Tejedoras del Muelle de la Sal in Sevilla.

This dynamic cross-network initiative blends contemporary embroidery and crochet, culminating in an exhibition to showcase their innovative creations. Fundación Tres Culturas' pivotal role underscores the significance of ALF's mobility program and the power of collaboration across diverse networks.

Nouhaila's journey spans from January 18th to March 18th, 2024, marking a significant example of cross-cultural collaboration and intercultural dialogue through artistic means, facilitated by ALF's mobility initiatives.

Our objective for the near future is, using our resources and strategic geographical location in Almería, to promote cultural interaction between North and South of the Mediterranean, through our residency’s grants, improving multidisciplinary cultural access and knowledge of, and between, both sides of the sea.
 

Main Projects / Activities

Till now, our patronage activities have been:
Grants for board and residency

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Valparaíso Foundation can contribute to the Spanish ALF Network with:
- providing our facilities in Mojácar (Almería), for free, to ALF projects, as we are strategically located less than 400 km from Morocco and Algeria: the residence is situated amongst olive, orange and almond groves two kilometres from the beach at 150 metres above sea level; it has magnificent views to the Mediterranean coast and the Sierra Cabrera, home to the town of Mojacar.
This rural retreat, an old olive mill, has eight private rooms with en suite bathroom, a dining room, a library containing more than 10,000 titles and various other common areas. Each unit consists of a studio, a bedroom and a bathroom. Several of the rooms also have outdoor terraces or access to the courtyard. It also has its own vegetable garden and four individual workshops for painters, sculptors and multi media artists, as well as a study and auditorium for the musicians.
- offering specifically our residency grants to artists and creators of the Mediterranean in order to increase cultural relationships and understandings between North and South: one of the Valparaiso Foundation's main aims is to offer artists from all over the world and from all branches of the arts (writers, composers, painters, sculptors, visual artists, etc.), a quiet and peaceful retreat where they can concentrate on their art, free from distraction and the duties of daily life. Each month eight artists on grants have come together at the Mojacar Residence. Almost twenty years of experience has shown this number to be ideal for facilitating an interchange of ideas in a friendly and enriching atmosphere.
- our international cultural multidisciplinary projects;
- our own financial resources.

During this time of globalization and fluidity in communication there is increasing human activity and interchange of worldviews, products, ideas and cultures.

2. International cooperation, humanitarian assistance and development contribution, including promoting technology transfer.
3. Conferences, workshops, formal and informal platforms of dialogue facilitation and moderation worldwide on the questions of peace, human rights, humanitarian aid and development.
