How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are part of several national networks and we run a huge cultural centre in a former factory: we can actively promote creative initiatives and cooperation projects: we want to improve the intercultural dialogue through creativity and arts, involving also the communities in this process.
In this perspective, beyond cultural projects, we could on one hand promote seminars workshops and educational projects on the other hand offer artistic residencies and support International mobility. Furthemore we want to support the circulation of information and knowledges, spreading information about the ALF network and its activities, and publish studies and research works.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We want to join the network because we are intersted in cooperation and in intercultural dialogue and exchange. We want to explore the connections between Europe and ther Mediterranean basin, undelying how this crossing-border trend affects the cultural field too: people keep looking both to their local identity but they need to develop a wider and global view dealing with this complexity. We want to get closer to the activities promoted by the network especially in the field of culture and education supporting them also learning from them: we want to discover new methodologies and get ready to listen and study themes and needs came out from these new cultures, complex and composed by differences merged toghether
