Main Projects / Activities

Since 2010 Malik implements once a year the project “Books help to read the world”, aimed to promote reading and literature: the initiative involves several municipalities, schools, associations and NPOs all over Sardinia. In 2010 and 2011 Malik has been implementing educational workshops and exhibition for primary and secondary school's students of Cagliari. Furthermore since 2008 Malik has been coordinating the project “Youth of Barbagia for Europe”, aimed to connect young people with fewer opportunities (geographical barriers) and  to create a youth center as place of social gathering for teenagers and young people of the area of Barbagia.
In the framework of the old Youth in Action Programme, We cooperated in the implementation of training courses, Youth exchanges and Youth initiative in Spain, Romania, Turkey and Ireland.
In the Framework of Erasmus+ We implemented strategic partnerships, study visits, training courses and youth exchanges with several associations based in Ireland, Portugal, Croatia, Spain, Poland, Chzec Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Turkey and Slovenia.
 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We want to share our experiences in our daily work with young people, immigrants, adults, children and elderly people to promote intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding.
Our main fields are:
*Culture and creativity
*Education and intercultural learning

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We live and operate in a very disadvantaged area (Sardinia's rural areas), where people have geographical barriers and are not used to meet different cultures/religions/points of views. Joining the ALF Network We hope to develop intercultural projects with European and Mediterranean Countries, exchange ideas and experiences, enrich each other.
