• Partnerships with both public and private organizations in order to strengthen their institutional and operational capacity and improve the quality and effectiveness of their policies, programs and projects.
• Generating ideas, initiatives and proposals that contribute to progress in international human development and intercultural learning.
RESET is committed to an approach based on strong local and international knowledge and expertise, and always centered on the human being. The current economic and political crisis in the world requires a rigorous focus on regenerating numerous aspects of the international system, as well as the generation of new models and paradigms, to face its new complexities.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

There are two main reasons to join the ALF network:
• Coincidence with the objectives of the Foundation: RESET is committed with the understanding of the new problems and complexities that our world is facing, and in this sense, the promotion of the cultural and intellectual exchange with partner organizations of the whole Mediterranean region is one of our core aims, through project development and research on questions such as democratic transitions, citizenship, youth populations and gender issues.
• Geographical coincidence: one of the most important areas of interest for RESET is the Mediterranean region. We have several researchers specialized in these countries (specifically in Morocco, Algeria or Lebanon) from different fields of research: promotion of the democracy, security issues, or development.
RESET is interested in building a network of partner organizations from other countries of the Mediterranean, in order to develop joint projects within our area of activities.

RESPECT Refugiados is governed by a Board who defines the general guidelines of our work and set the priorities. The daily management is left to the Coordinator/Executive Manager who takes care of implementing RESPECT's strategy. We have also a training director which is in charge of our training programme. Our organization works mainly with volunteers and has one person employed. Our budgetary resources available in a year are aprox. 30000 euros. The sources of funding are public (EU, Council of Europe) and own resources (we give online training to development workers and volunteers). RESPECT acts mainly through concrete projects. We collaborate with organizations all over Europe and we have a few partners with whom we have collaborated in several projects (IMIR www.imir.de, CEIPES www.ceipes.org).
Mission and Objectives

RESPECT (Refugee Sponsorship Programme Enhancing Communities Together) Refugiados is an NGO working to raise awareness among international youth about refugees and refugees’ issues, encouraging activism and further empower refugee children and communities through letter and cultural exchange. We work also intensively in capacity building, increasing the skills and knowledge of local NGOs and volunteers in developing countries as well as creating booklets, leaflets and other PR materials that we distribute among schools and organisations all over Europe. We also prepare and give trainings to the humanitarian community through online courses on development cooperation, NGOs and refugee issues.

Main Projects / Activities

Our activities are focused mainly on awareness raising, education (online trainings) and letter exchange. As part of our awareness raising campaign activities, our ongoing and concluded projects are: 1.Training on Psycho-Social Needs of Refugees -
The project aims to increase the quality for training activities on psycho-social needs of refugees by sharing knowledge and experiences and producing a website for dissemination among several European organizations. 2.Awareness Raising through Comic Books - The purpose of this project was to promote a multicultural society, tolerance and activism by spreading awareness in a fun way about refugees and refugee issues amongst European children, teenagers and young adults. A comic book dealing with different aspects of a refugee/asylum seeker’s life was prepared. 3.European youth training - In partnership with the Council of Europe and the European Youth Foundation, we have launched a project focused on Youth European organizations aiming to provide high quality training courses on soft skills and management abilities for international projects. 4.European Awareness Raising Campaign on Refugees - This campaign has been taken place under the “All Different-All Equal” project from the Council of Europe, promoting social values and understanding among people and cultures. Together with our partners we have produced a very interesting material which explains children and youth, in general, about the reality of a refugee. Our online training programme consists in courses in NGO management, soft skills, becoming a professional trainer, conflict resolution, refugees and internally displaced persons, repatriation. Its aim is to help improve the knowledge and skills of NGOs staff to work in development cooperation and the humanitarian aid field. Our third main area of activity is the letter exchange programme, which consists in introducing classes of non-refugee students (from Europe) to a class of refugee students (especially from Africa) of similar age and academic level by pen-pal letter exchange.
