The ALF Network is a great community to communicate and collaborate with other civil society organisations in the Euro-Mediterranean Region.
In CMNT, we see the effect of new technologies and new media in the dialogue between young Mediterraneans, no one can ignore the influence of Facebook and Twitter during the Arab spring, as an example.
We believe in the capacity of new technologies to restore and consolidate trust between people of different cultures and beliefs, as well as overcame the misunderstandings and stereotypes in the Mediterranean region.
Our vision is consistent with the vision of ALF Network.
