Mission and Objectives

Planta Panta Tree's vision is to be the leading organization in bringing to children and the coming generation massive awareness about the value and importance of a tree to a human being.

The vision is to plant trees for children's nutrition, clean air, and water. Once accepted, the vision is to go to as many schools that will accept our program and cause awareness about the importance of trees through teachings, and hands-on practices of planting trees together with the children. Influencing governments to adopt PPT`s "recycling in order to plant trees method" wherever possible. Our ratio 1;4 is that for each cut tree, plant four.

Planta Panta Tree's mission is to inform, remind, and educate people both young and old the importance and urgency of the need of living trees for the survival of mankind.

PPTI encourages environmental awareness to children and people, regardless of gender, race, age, physical ability, or geographical location, using the following methods: Reach people especially children at schools and in the community. As early as possible, begin to create environmental awareness for children to love and appreciate trees and nature. PPTI's motto is “ your can/ bottle is a potential tree”. By locally and internationally introducing the Panta= Plantera träd method, (recycling in order to plant trees) or else nations might be full of plastic by 2050. Trees clean both the air and the water naturally, and therefore we need more trees.

We need to create a generational shift in this understanding. We need to introduce panta/recycling internationally Connect with trees: by tree observing, by tree climbing, etc. Provide small greenhouses for children to plant their own trees. Open tree clubs locally and internationally. Provide children with a framework to play and socialize while planting trees eg. creating small hobbit homes out in nature. To mobilize parents about the importance of trees so that they too may bring their children to the program To work with the educators, to embrace the program, and to develop an environmentally friendly curriculum. Advocacy with policymakers such as; municipality, ministries and regulatory agencies to endorse and support the program

Main Projects / Activities

Tree planting activities in schools and in nature. Tree clubs in schools, small Hobbit houses out in nature for children's play to help them realize that nature is actually fun. We produce PPT water that benefits tree planting initiatives. We recycle in order to plant trees.

Mission and Objectives

“If you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it.”– Yogi Bhajan

Positive YOUth is a non-profit organisation striving to bring more positivity through self-development opportunities for local communities. We are looking for diverse self-development tools to support the innovative non-formal education method of mindfulness and use it for transforming our often critical minds into positive, passionate and We do it by starting with one single individual in the mirror - YOU. Positive mind is a source of physical well-being, tranquility, happiness and success which describes the best of our philosophy - to become the best versions of ourselves in order to inspire the peers and build supportive communities for a better future, for ourselves and the ones around.

Our vision is to together grow a supportive community of people, committed to lifelong learning and self-development in order to live a little bit more meaningful, mindful, sustainable and positive lives. Therefore, besides empowering communities, our staff is constantly working on their own development in order to fulfill this vision.

We are committed to the belief that any human can reach their best self if they are given the space and enough attention to understand their power and importance in this world. This is how we work - by watering one person after another until they become role models to pay it forward and water their communities. We bring a lot to the table but our experience is focused on: Educational trainings for youths and youth educators; ERASMUS+ KA2 (partners) Community workshops on self-development Mentoring/Coaching for youth NGOs.

Locally, we are working with diverse migrant groups (economic, social, geographical) introducing tools of mindfulness through regular support meetings, mentorships, online consultations and support. We are working with Öppet Hus and Folkuniversitetet SFI course groups in order to involve NEET migrants into activities, prevent exclusion and build a new generation of group leaders, besides we provide one on one mentorship online and via meetings and introduce E+ and project management to fresh youth organisations in Sweden.

We are proud of examples like Somali organisations HOPE. SSUF, ASOV, Mustaqbal Foundation, as well as migrant organisation Self-development center, which were formed by migrant groups coached by our youth workers and are beautiful examples of the meaning of our work.

General Information

Non-governmental non-profit organization ProQvi was established in 2010 and started as a forum for women with foreign background to meet and support each other’s ambitions, ideas and learning. Proqvi promotes women and youth empowerment, cultural meetings and active citizenship in segregated areas, primarily for women and young people. We are fully volunteer-driven, non-partisan organisation. Today the organisation has office in Helsingborg and a learning center /training location in Hästveda/Hässleholm, Sweden.

There are about 50 members in it and we work through personal coaching, opinion building, arranging events and projects to promote cross-sectoral collaboration, social entrepreneurship and intercultural dialogue.

Our specific focus is in raising awareness and doing case studies of issues connected to the local policies and conditions for personal development, limitations and problematic premises where needs of an individual or a group of people get underprioritized due to lack of research, attention, knowledge or because of a strong tradition that has an inhibiting effect on local development.

The social context that we operate in can be described as area with strong segregated values (e.i. conventional occupations, lack of interest for social innovations and entrepreneurship, a low value of education and career building, low trust in active citizenship position, high rate of inequality and hostile attitudes towards representatives of other ethnical groups) so we build our our resilience as we go.

Main operation areas in Sweden: Skåne, a local department in Stockholm and Halmstad. We implement projects with West Africa and Europe.

Mission and Objectives

Main directions of work:

  • experiments on the edge of culture and social challenges,
  • gender issues
  • social entrepreneurship and local development,
  • identity search support and
  • recognition of deviant competences.
Main Projects / Activities

We have been working with matters of gender equality, inclusion and diversity in youth work for more than 10 years now and our particular focus lays in recognition of skills and competences and countering outsidership. Our projects usually target "shadow kids", young people whose premises are neither good nor bad enough to be clearly addressed, therefore they lack common ways of being involved in democratic participation. How would that happen... Often we end up in discussions around mental ill-health &co but also inclusive project design (activities rather done by than for the target groups) and systems of public administration of such initiatives. Quite a diversity for a topic right there. 

We constantly search for how to lift the least discussed questions by supporting our members’ initiatives. Whatever daring they might appear, there is a lot of learning in each experiment. We believe that the way to a strong and sustainable society lies through each and every person’s happiness, and happiness is when you are safe, surrounded by those who understand you, and doing what you love.

Through time, the activities within the organization have developed. From Saturday meetings when we were practising Swedish and training physically, we have moved on to the local society information support, swimming school for adult women and even widened our views to include youngsters’ and experimental events: culture festivals and exchanges.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

I am searching for more opportunities to connect to other organisations working for sustainble future, to learn from each other and to empower projects and initiatives together.

PROSPER WITH NETWORKING AND FUNDRAISING

الصورة
Prosper with Networking  & Fundraising workshop affiche.png

Background

In October 2020, the ALF Swedish network offered “Prosper with Purpose” workshop on how to define and communicate the purpose of our work. This year, we will continue our prospering journey with a focus on fundraising and networking.

Fundraising and applying for grants is often a concrete and frustrating reality in our non-profit organisations. We want to focus on the good work and new projects and find ourselves using weeks and months chasing after money when we could be focusing on implementing our vision and mission. However, finding the money and resources we need to develop the work we want to do is a necessity. 

Is it possible that the process of searching, applying and pitching for funds, actually could lead to development and progress? Could the new partnerships we form be injections of energy and knowledge into our projects or core operations? Could we find the resources we need in new places?

We will also look at how to develop skills in the areas of networking, pitching proposals and looking for sustainable partnerships and relations with donors (public and private sector). This could enable us to stand stronger and have better tools and be able to plan ahead with more ease and grace.

The 2-day online workshop offers you:

  • Guide to successful networking and the importance of intercultural awareness. 
  • How to successfully pitch your project idea and negotiate with potential partners or donors (public and private sectors).
  • Possibility to pitch your project idea and get feedback.

 

When: 4 - 5 October (13.00 - 15.30 CET/Cairo time -- 14.00 - 16.30 EET/Beirut time). 

Language: English
