Vision 

The Palestinian Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation aims to build an educated generation of youth that believes in pluralism and accepting the other away from extremism and hatred.

Strengths

With an active core of member organisations, which has allowed the network to deploy effective coordination and networking mechanisms among members, the network has managed to create multiple partnerships with other networks. The network has managed to have an impact on the local community through the creation of a constructive dialogue among youth on various social issues and encouraging the involvement of youth in cultural exchange programs and the exchange of experiences with other societies. The network has also facilitated the implementation of programs and projects and strengthened the role of women in participating in these projects.

Achievements

The Palestinian network has managed to:

  1. Create a group of ambassadors for environmental protection and climate change
  2. In partnership with the Italian ALF Head of Network "RIDE APS" (lead organisation) and the Egyptian organisation "Partners for Transparency", contribute to the implementation of the Ponza Prima-Med project. The project focused on agricultural best practices, its goal was to raise the level of awareness of the general public, fostering youth advocacy on environmental protection. We also worked together on various cultural topics such as Identity, Cuisine, and Cultural Heritage.
  3. Implemented an international education and cultural project called "Movement" in partnership with the Irish “Herstory” (lead organisation) and other national networks. The project explored the fact that emigration and immigration are two sides of the same story. As part of this project we created a short movie about a Palestinian woman: Nijmeh Atshan.

Vision 

Le Réseau palestinien de la Fondation Anna Lindh vise à construire une génération de jeunes instruits qui croient au pluralisme et à l’acceptation de l’autre, loin de l’extrémisme et de la haine.

Ses points forts : 

Grâce à un noyau actif d’organisations membres qui a permis au réseau de déployer des mécanismes efficaces de coordination et de réseautage parmi ses membres, le Réseau a réussi à créer plusieurs partenariats avec d’autres réseaux. Le Réseau a réussi à avoir un impact sur la communauté locale  en suscitant un dialogue constructif entre les jeunes sur différentes problématiques sociales et en incitant la jeunesse à participer à des programmes d’échange culturel et à partager leurs expériences avec d’autres sociétés. Le Réseau a également facilité la mise en place de programmes et de projets, et a renforcé la participation des femmes à ces projets.

Ses réussites :

Le Réseau palestinien a notamment :

  1. créé un groupe d’ambassadeurs pour la protection environnementale et le dérèglement climatique.
  2. contribué à la mise en place du projet Ponza Prima-Med en partenariat avec le Chef de file italien de la FAL « RIDE APS » et l’organisation égyptienne « Partners for transparency ». Ce projet portait sur les bonnes pratiques agricoles et son but était de sensibiliser le grand public, d’encourager la défense des intérêts des jeunes en matière de protection environnementale. Ces acteurs ont également travaillé ensemble sur différents thèmes culturels tels que l’identité, la cuisine et l’héritage culturel.
  3. mis en place un projet éducatif et culturel international nommé « Movement » en partenariat avec l’organisation irlandaise « Herstory » (Chef de file) et d’autres réseaux nationaux. Le projet a mis en lumière que l’émigration et l’immigration sont les deux côtés d'une même histoire. Dans le cadre de ce projet, nous avons créé un court métrage sur une femme palestinienne : Nijmeh Atshan.
