Organization’s objectives go in alignment with Anna Lindh Foundation mission – bringing together civil society and citizens as well as improving a mutual understanding between them. While focusing on culture and arts (cultural and creative industries), institute seeks to carry out interdisciplinary research, which results can be applied in practice. Being part of the network, organization can contribute to mutual goals by encouraging the dialogue between different sectors and promoting individual consciousness. We believe an active community is one of the main ingredients for a holistic and consistent path to sustainable development. Cultural development is particularly dependent upon an open and inclusive participation of all social and civic actors. Therefore, we believe that we can increase well-being of overall society by fostering regional development, promoting social innovation and developing cultural project across different Mediterranean countries.
