Intercultural learning is core to our delivery and being a member of the ALF Network makes sense to use, both to develop new skills/knowledge/understanding as an organisation and a team and to work with others to promote an interculturally fair society, safe from social intolerance. Also, as a small relatively new organisations, AsfarEurope is keen to build bridges, collaborate with other organisation's like us and to co-develop opportunities for young people, communities and wider groups we serve in intercultural development and wider development opportunities to further promote a fair, tolerant world.

Estonian ALF Network

The Estonian Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation was established in 2006.

The Network's vision is to bring together civil society organisations that are active in promoting intercultural dialogue and understanding within the society, providing a platform to create successful cooperation within the local network and other networks, and tap into the resources provided by the members of the network.

Our strength lies in the accessibility to all sectors within the network to all the members, in addition to the availability of the board of governance. Most of the organisations and members of the network have demonstrated a large impact in the local community by tapping into the relevant topics affecting our society.

Our Network members are active in:

  • Global Education
  • Social integration
  • Intercultural dialogue
  • Gender issues
  • Education and research
  • Social enterprise

Among the achievements of many of the network members is the strong role they played in raising awareness on topics related to the different crises in the society, starting with the Syrian refugee crisis, and ending with the war in Ukraine, providing resources to the educational and youth work sector and creating safe spaces for women and youth.

The Network is re-inventing itself; while many of the older members have become less active, there is an interest by new organisations to join. The Estonian Network encourages new members to build a more sustainable and active network that is very much taped into the important issues facing our society.

L’histoire de votre réseau

The Estonian Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation was established in 2006 by Prof. Dr. Thomas Richard Kämmerer from the University of Tartu, since then the Estonian network has been active and coordinated by other civil societies: Ethical Links, and the Estonian school of diplomacy and after not having a national coordinator between 2018-2019 in 2020 the Estonian ministry of foreign affairs gave NGO Mondo the mandate to become the Estonian National Network coordinator.

The previous Heads of the Anna Lindh National Network in Estonia, were:
