Contributing to the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) Network in Morocco can be achieved through various avenues like organizing cultural events, facilitating educational programs, collaborating with local partners, engaging with marginalized communities, advocating for policy change, participating in ALF Network activities or promoting media and digital literacy. In fact, Live Room has built through its eight years of existence a large network, both localy and internationaly, of young artists, activists and social workers and joining a prestigious network such Anna Lindh Foundation' one in Morocco will enrich the members of this network with a very active and ambitious project in Tangier.
Beside Live Room's continious seeking of development nationally and regionally (multiple partnership and collaboration with local and international institution, carrying projects in other cities, opening of a delegation of the association in Barcelona, etc), we are very motivated to join the ALF Network because being part of it can: Provide access to funding opportunities, grants, and other resources that can support us; Offer a platform for cultural NGOs to connect and collaborate with other like-minded organizations across the Euro-Mediterranean region; Enhance the visibility and credibility of Live Room Association both locally and internationally; Benefit from the various capacity-building initiatives, training programs, and workshops that are offered by the ALF foundation and finally amplify our advocacy efforts and increase our impact on social and cultural issues within the communities we’re serving.
