We would like also to introduce Annalindh foundation via the network of our partners.
As we are a member organisation in YEU international-Youth for Exchange and Understanding www.yeu-international.org we have some potential projects that we would apply on the behalf of our network.
We also would like to apply for some grants on local and regional level, and envolve more and more member organisations from Morocco to join the network.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

As our working fields are mainly the young people from the Local communities (Universities, schools, House of youth, youth Club and youth associations), as well as youth with difficult social and economic backgrounds, we want to give them the opportunity to go abroad and let them experience what the best comes from these intercultural exchanges, training courses, seminars,etc.
So we can proceed with a more solid path, we feel that this can’t be without embracing along the network Annalindh Foundation. These are our objectives :
a) Actively collaborate with other ALF members, promoting dialogue and exchange of views among them.
b) Being able to participate and collaborate in the organization of activities undertaken by members of ALF.
