- L’action communautaire : différentes actions s’articulent de concert, au sein du service. Elles permettent de faire entendre les demandes des jeunes et de les relayer à qui de droit.

General Information

The City Education of Antwerpen (Stedelijk Onderwijs Antwerpen - AGSO) is one of the largest educational providers in Flanders. The City Education provides education to more than 55.000 pupils and students (between 2,5 and 82 years). Every day, the City Education of Antwerp can count on 6.000 teachers, staff members (both subsidized by the Flemish Government as non-subsidized) 140 schools, academies and adult education centers, spread over 250 locations in the city of Antwerpen. The yearly budget of the AGSO in 2012 was 79 million Euro. The main sources of funding are the Flemish Government and the City Of Antwerp. A large portion of the immigrants in Antwerp are from Maghreb/Middle Eastern origin. This evolution is reflected in a "super diverse" school population. This "super diversity" challenges the teachers to a great extent. Together with many partners from the civil society, we are working on the social cohesion of Antwerp and educate learners to become global citizens.

Mission and Objectives

Mission: The City Education of Antwerp offers fair development opportunities with a focus on each individual. We give students and learners the space and resources to develop talents and skills. So they can grow into responsible global citizens who want to build the city of tomorrow. Vision: Through innovative teaching in a warm environment, we want to motivate and inspire our students for life.

Main Projects / Activities

Apart from many other educational projects, the AGSO is particularly involved in educational exchange projects with Morocco. Twinning projects and an educational traineeship programme for teachers, students and professors form the backbone of a strong mutual cooperation between Antwerp and (mainly) the Oriental region in Morocco. The following partners contribute to the success of this cooperation: Steunproject vzw, Imane vzw, Ibn Sina vzw, Imams vzw, University of Antwerp, Artesis Hogeschool, Karel De Grote Hogeschool, Association Safaa, Centre de Formation des Instituteurs Oujda, Collège Allal El Fassi, Ecole primaire à Bni Kitoune, Académie Régionale de l'éducation Oujda

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

With our large experience in cooperating with Morocco, we would like to share good practices with the other ALF members. We are always seeking for partnerships to strengthen existing projects and establish new projects and programmes that foster international understanding and intercultural sensitivity. We believe that the Anna Lindh Network forms an ideal platform for sustainable partnerships and long term cooperation.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

In our cooperation with the Maghreb region, and Morocco more specifically, we encounter both successes and challenges. In the ALF network, we would like to share our successes and also seek advice, information and funds to overcome our challenges.

'Tahadhari' in the Swahili language, which is considered the most widely spoken language in the region of the Sahara -countries that are exposed to acute climate crisis followed by forced displacement -means Alert!! The need to put attention and not anymore ignoring, which exactly defines the Center vision for activities. The center 'activities includes Think-Tanks with diverse background and expertise, focusing on research, policy, media and communication, holding workshops, conferences, publications, and public events.

Mission and Objectives

Tahadhari Center focuses on developing knowledge on climate induced migration, and works for shape the international climate migration policy, via research, stakeholders' meetings, working papers, media and more. The EU's Green Deal will be one of the strategic frame of the long term activities in vulnerable areas in Southern and Eastern Europe and in Africa -aimed to create a regional climate economy partnership that takes into account the weakest links and energy poverty, so that adaptation programs are not only targeting the environmental objectives but socially, economically, culturally adaptation oriented and lead to regional climate resilience and regional climate governance that includes clear reference to cross-continent situation.
That is, the Tahadhari Center will work to reduce socio-economic disparities in environmental and climate issues -in an action model designed to achieve a dual goal of both risk reduction and poverty eradication, and both reducing gaps and empowering to implement energy innovation among disadvantaged population groups, with an emphasis on geographical areas of action in Africa and Southeast Europe.
Tahadhari Center's action models are based on models from the start-up field of innovation, with a strong emphasis on establishing collaboration with business sector actors, applied science researchers, representatives of local organizations and local authorities. This model was developed by us in order to implement projects in the field of energy innovation, or for example innovative knowledge-based waste management, tools development for techno-climatic training of local populations in accordance with the capacity of population groups in the field as of agriculture and economic ventures, and to achieve UN 'SDGs and EU Green Deal objectives.

Establishment of Think-Tanks

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Tahadhari Center is aimed to focus on issues that are common to Mediterranean countries and societies and have an impact on European countries and are of course influenced by country and region level policies: climate and migration.
These are two cross-border issues, therefore require collaborations between communities, and between researchers and many stakeholders (as community workers, representatives of local authorities, civil society organizations in various fields). The members of the Tahadhari Center and its heads have extensive knowledge in the fields of climate, environment and regional cooperation, and together with the network members we can initiate events, joint submission of grants and thus contribute to common knowledge, expanding discourse boundaries, mutual influences of different and tangent fields and more.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We are familiar with ALF's network activities and believe that our center's activities are suitable both because it is intended for the Euro-Med region and because our planned activities will be carried out in a wide range of activities such as research, policy advocacy, field activities with communities on multi-disciplinary approaches and levels of engagement, and the same id ALF' network.

Main Projects / Activities

Urban transport in Cotonou, like in most developing countries, is marked by a crisis in public transport and disorganized growth in other means of transport such as two-wheelers. There has been a gradual rise in motorcycle taxi activities which draw great public interest as they require no training and are often carried out on an informal basis. Cotonou today has some 100 000 motorcyclists.
The proliferation and widespread use of these two-wheelers have serious impacts on the environment: they discharge extremely high amounts of greenhouse and polluting gases, damage air quality and pose serious public health problems. Motorcycle taxi riders are the most exposed, are ten times more likely to suffer from respiratory problems than people living in rural areas and their life expectancy falls to 40 years old compared with 54 for the rest of the population. More generally, it is estimated that Benin’s economy loses over 1.2% of its GDP every year, i.e. some 20 billion CFA francs, due to air pollution.
There is consequently a pressing need to mitigate air pollution in Cotonou. TALENT INCUBATOR has encouraged the implementation of an innovative program to replace the highly-polluting two-stroke motorcycles with four-stroke motorcycles which discharge almost 85% less greenhouse gas and are much less polluting.
