Also, to bring people and organizations from different countries together to improve mutual respect, overcome stereotypes, contribute to respect of diversity and mutual understanding and promote cooperation.
N.G.O. CIVIS PLUS in order to achieve its objectives organizes, implements and participates in a variety of European and national, voluntary, self-financed and co-financed programs to strengthen civil society, protect environment, democracy, human rights and support the less privileged members of society.

NGO CIVISplus, as a part of the ALF Network, will promote its values through its actions. It will participate actively to the Network’s activities, helping, communicating and cooperating with other members in their work fields as well as shaping the work of the Network.
Through the Network, NGO CIVISplus hopes to find and work with organizations that share the same interests and objectives. To cultivate long-term and strong co-operations that will ultimately benefit the people in the respective countries. To promote intercultural dialogue, not only among the organizations but also among the people involved and affected by the Network’s activities.
NGO CIVIS PLUS follows and shares the values of the European Union for freedom, human dignity, democracy, the rule of law, equality and the respect for human rights. These values are the basis of a society that respects and supports multiculturalism and diversity, no matter the kind or level.
ALF reflects the aforementioned values in a way that not only promotes them in Europe, but also in whole Mediterranean. Considering that many of the Med-countries have met true democracy only recently, actions that show the right path to it, that enhance the protection of human rights infringed for many years, that educate young people in every level and that establish every kind of freedom are some of which NGO CIVISplus would like to be a part of and help actively.
Our intention to enter the network is based on our motivation to bring people in our country close to these of other Mediterranean regions, to cultivate a spirit of mutual understanding and respect between them, to get to know each other better and finally create a steady cooperation with organizations from these regions that will lead to common actions and initiatives for the benefit of the whole Mediterranean area. Exchanging of views and ideas with the other members of the network is of mayor importance for us.
