Mission and Objectives

We believe that art and culture have the power to bring people together and transcend borders. As such, we are committed to using our cultural center as a means of building bridges between communities and promoting a deeper understanding of Iranian culture, with its vast diversity of different ethnicities and languages.
At Khayam, our mission is to build a vibrant community of individuals who are passionate about Interculturality and arts, both within Belgium and Europe. Our goal is to create a diverse range of activities and initiatives, organized into three sections: Education, Art, and Culture. These sections will encompass a variety of events and activities, including talk and roundtable series, cultural events such as movie nights and theater performances, literary discussions, debate sessions, artistic exhibitions and workshops, reading groups, and language and art courses.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are especially excited to be located in Brussels, a vibrant and multicultural city that is rich in cultural diversity and artistic expression. Our hope is to leverage this diversity to create a truly unique and dynamic cultural hub that reflects the richness and diversity of cultures .
Our goal is to become a leading organization in promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation through engaging and educational experiences. And Khayam is the best place to do such, Since it is based in Brussels, as one of the most diverse cities in Europe, Khayam would actually be a beacon for diversity, being established by an Iranian, who comes from a country with its diverse cultures, languages and ethnicities.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Khayam has been a member of ALF for many years before suspending its activities in 2019. Currently a new collective is taking over its management and would like to be again an active member of ALF in order to expand its network, and collaborate on intercultural activities including Europe and Mediterranean region. We would benefit from ALFs vast network, and would be happy to contribute to its mission and vision in bringing new narratives through more inclusive art and cultural projects. Creating Platforms for dialogue has always been in Khayam’s vision and it resembles as well in its previous activities, we would like to pursue the same and bring multiple narratives in an egalitarian setup to converse.
As part of our mission we would like to be the bridge between different communities and we believe that ALF is one of the places that could help us achieve our goal.

Cineuropa est un portail d'information en ligne qui fait la promotion du cinéma et de la culture dans le monde entier. Le site est mis à jour quotidiennement en quatre langues (anglais, français, italien et espagnol) et est spécialement conçu pour un public plus large et des lecteurs de l'industrie. Plusieurs collaborations avec des festivals de films, des institutions culturelles, des fonds de films et des programmes de formation ont été mises en place.

Cineuropa offre une vaste sélection de contenus: reportages, focus pays, making-of, bases de données de films et de sociétés, analyse de scénarios et cours de formation en ligne, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns. Au cours des dernières années, Cineuropa a établi de nombreux partenariats avec des organisations axées sur des activités non européennes, afin d'élargir sa gamme d'industries de l'information et de soutien qui nécessitent une attention européenne. De 2001 à 2014, Cineuropa a cogéré le programme Euromed Audiovisuel de l'Union européenne, une action de coopération avec les pays du sud de la Méditerranée. En 2014, Cineuropa a organisé le premier festival du film européen à Alger, offrant une sélection de 26 films et en organisant plusieurs tables rondes et conférences. Cineuropa organise régulièrement des conférences et des formations au sein des plus prestigieux festivals du monde, comme Cannes, Venise ou Berlin. Cineuropa a réalisé plusieurs études pour différents clients: rédaction du business plan du FESPACO, étude sur le statut de l'artiste en Afrique...
