Seven Reasons to Join the Anna Lindh Foundation Network

Increase Your Impact in the EU-MENA Region!

1. Share the mission and vision of the Anna Lindh Foundation to promote peace and justice through cooperation and coalition-building. You also believe in the power of trust and security, dialogue, and connection as essential tools for resolving conflicts.

2. Be part of a network of 4,530 civil society partners across all 27 EU countries and 16 South-West Asian and North Africa (MENA) countries, active in education, arts and culture, peacebuilding, interreligious and intercultural dialogue, human rights, democracy, and social development. The network also covers gender equality, media, and more. Being part of this network increases your organisation’s visibility, gives access to a wide range of networking opportunities, provides strategic advantages, and enhances your engagement with initiatives. You can forge connections, form new collaborations, and collectively create a strong (inter)national impact.

3. Receive support in building and strengthening cooperation with organisations in the Netherlands and the Euro-Mediterranean region. If you are already involved in Dutch dialogue projects connected to specific EU-MENA countries, joining will help broaden and extend this valuable dialogue across the region.

4. Benefit from opportunities to influence policymakers in line with the ALF’s mission and vision.

5. Participate in (online) educational projects and internships in the EU-MENA region, including for adults. The focus is primarily on youth, but older participants are not excluded. Youth remain a key target group.

6. Engage in intergenerational dialogue. The network includes older members with a wealth of experience who are eager to share their knowledge with younger participants.

7. Take advantage of periodic calls for proposals issued by the Anna Lindh Foundation. If accepted, proposals may be eligible for funding. These initiatives always aim to promote dialogue with multiple partners across the EU-MENA region.
