In 2009, we hosted the annual ALF networks coordinators meeting in Gothenburg during the Swedish Presidency of the European Council.

In 2010, we hosted the Euro-Med Dialogue Award Ceremony in Stockholm.

We used to organise the annual peace day celebration with our network members.

In 2015, we co-organised a Baltic civil society forum in Tallin in collaboration with the Finnish and Estonian networks.

In 2016, we hosted the Nordic-Baltic Dialogue Forum in Stockholm. The Forum gathered nearly 80 civil society practitioners in a unique opportunity to network, exchange good practices and lessons learned and share project ideas. The Stockholm Forum addressed the regional challenges in youth, gender and migration, nurturing a culture of dialogue and promoting regional collaboration and knowledge mobility among the members of the Anna Lindh Foundation in the Nordic-Baltic region.

In 2017, we hosted a training on Countering Hate Space in collaboration with the Council of Europe and the German, Finnish, and Danish networks.

In 2017, we organised a regional seminar on Migration and Working with Newcomers in collaboration with the Finnish and Danish networks.

We organise an annual forum called Celebrating Our Diversity for our civil society network members to showcase their good practices. 

In February 2022, we hosted an online workshop on Evaluation of Cultural projects delivered by Tialt (Porto). The workshop explored how power structures related to evaluation, as well as the methods used to conduct evaluation, enable new forms of knowledge to come forward or be held back. 

In March 2022, we hosted an online training on Conflict Management and Non-violent Communication delivered by MitOst Horizontal School (Berlin). The training was an introduction into conflict management, helping individuals to understand and prevent conflicts.

In 2022-2023, we hosted a series of online webinars called Intercultural Morning Coffees in collaboration with our network member River of Light. We bring together researchers, civil society members and Euro-Med citizens to discuss up-to-date issues over a cup of coffee in the morning. We bring forward discussions about interesting topics around inclusion, youth engagement, migration, gender equality, climate action, etc. How can we enhance EuroMed cultural cooperation within the current social and regional context?

In 2022-2023, we hosted Intercultural Book Circles in collaboration with our network member LärOlika. The meetings are highly interactive and all participants are involved in conversations across countries and across literature genres. Each book circle becomes an opportunity for intercultural learning and networking. 

In January 2023, we hosted an online training on Deconstructing Gender Norms in collaboration with our network member PeaceWorks Sweden. The workshop included two sessions and its main goal was to enable participants to increase their abilities to question, reflect on and critically examine matters of gender related power structures. 

In March 2023, the Swedish network hosted a regional network meeting on 9-10 March at the World Culture Museum (Världskulturmuseet) in Gothenburg. The meeting brought together more than 40 members and alumni of the Anna Lindh Foundation Swedish network and network coordinators from Denmark, Finland, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. This is the first time the network members met in real life since the pandemic (2020).
