The online networking sessions between Albania-Luxembourg-Lebanon-Morocco and Denmark brought together about 50 network members from all partner countries to discuss common challenges and generate ideas for cooperation.
The sessions took place on December 18 and 20 and were organised by the Albanian Media Institute (HoN in Albania), in partnership with Our Common Future (HoN Luxembourg), @Agir ensemble (HoN Morocco) and Lebanese National Commission for Unesco (HoN Lebanon).
The purpose of these sessions was to build bridges for cooperation between members of the ALF network from the North and South Mediterranean.
The hearings found that challenges facing members across countries are similar and this is the first step to forming synergies and joint action among them.
The major thematic areas identified from both sessions related to youth engagement and participation, gender equality/gender-based violence, diversity and human rights, polarisation and hateful language, and media education.
Following the sessions, the Head of the Network in Albania launched a call for proposals that participating members can apply and address some of the common challenges identified.
