General Information
Our NGO started from a Scout group initiative to improve the neighborhood where we were located, and as the years passed, we developed different priorities and evolved to what we are now. Our structure is based on a board of 5 people, a group of 20 regular volunteers and a group of 100 members who take part according to their posibilities. The funding for the different project comes from the open calls for funding (either local, regional, national or international), and the local donors and volunteers.  Our regular activities consist of local info-sessions, trainings, seminars and also international projects such as exchanges, trainings, etc. We have participated and developed several projects in the Erasmus+ field.
Mission and Objectives

Our focus is community development and empowerment of citizens (mainly youth). Our tools are based on non-formal education.
Our motto is "Try and leave this world a little better than you found it. (Baden Powell)".

Main Projects / Activities

Local: training courses, infodesk, forums, seminars, language exchange, intercultural learning, promotion of Human Rights and Children Rights.
International: youth exchange, training courses, seminars, voluntary service, youth inititatives and entrepreneurship, intercultural learning, empowerment of citizenship.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We can be multipliers of the actions developed by the network at our local-regional communities, we can also promote and foster the values of the partnerships and contribute to the specific goals of each action.
We can contribute also by sharing our expertise and good practise in the field of international youth empowerment in the EuroMed Region, as we have had many good and diverse experiences.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We are interested in enlarging the opportunities of partnership and project development for the future, and also we have heard very good reports about the networking inside ALF, so we do not want to stay out of such a powerful network.
