How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

In Spain, we can get into contact with other organizations and work together developing the Network at a national level, helping in the organization of national meetings, participating in those meetings, and become active members regarding projects linked to youth exchanges, youth volunteering and youth entrepreneurship, especially in Catalonia region.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

In our social sector, we feel that gathering all-size organizations working towards the same aims and objectives can make a big difference when it comes to impacts and results. As a young organization, located in the Euro-Mediterranean area, we are convinced we have much to learn and to share with others. Hence, ALF Network is for us a great opportunity to meet and speak online and, later on, face to face with people with great ideas, with which to exchange best practices and to build strong Euro-Mediterranean projects.
