One of the very recent and successful project initiated by the collective is videokaravaan: A "nomadic program", which, amongst other things includes a database of video artists from the Arab and North African region. Videokaravaan is traveling through various countries using presentations and discussions to expand the current aesthetics of video and media practices, diversify the Western perspective of art from the Arab world, and to acquaint the West with Arab artists. An additional goal is to generate a network of interdisciplinary cooperation. Since 2002, Videokaravaan initiated a series of Film workhops in Morocco, in order to help local artists and young filmmakers to deal with their own image, and have access to new methods and technologies of filmmaking. Until now more than 10 videos and short films were produced.

The Gulf region is witnessing changes in its closed environment where local groups and citizens become more critical towards the tensions and changes affecting their daily lives. Civil society actors are becoming more persistent in calls for improvements in human rights, democracy, good governance, the rule of law, peace and security. At the same time they are expressing more and more their need to interact with governmental actors in a constructive way enabling the needed positive social change to take place and be rooted in the culture of the region.
It is not just the 'human rights NGOs' but also the academic world as well as professional bodies, the media, women's organisations and similar bodies that all have their role to play in this process with particular attention for independence of the judiciary, freedom of expression, women's rights and freedom of religion, aiming towards gradually aligning legislation and governmental policies with international standards.
