General Information
Within the Library of Alexandria’s efforts to become a platform for cultural dialogue, the Dialogue Forum provides a medium for liberal thought and cultural exchange to promote the values of cultural diversity, and to create an enabling environment for dialogue, reform and development. The Forum fosters a future generation of informed and engaged youth through the encouragement of leadership, participation and exchange.
Mission and Objectives

The Forum aims to defend others’ freedom of expression and to understand human civilizations on national, regional and international levels, as well as promote and support the role of civil societies through the creation of networks and outreach programs in an attempt to create a vision of a promising future for the Arab region.

Main Projects / Activities

The Dialogue Forum is concurrently responsible for the Arab Reform Forum, the brain child of the recommendations of the first Arab Reform Conference in 2004, culminated in the Alexandria Declaration. The Arab Refom Forum organizes regular workshops and seminars in areas affecting Social, Political, Economic or Cultural reform, as well as an annual conference which has taken place since 2004, and has recently taken a visionary strategy by becoming the Arab Future Conference, beginning 2010. Other reform projects include the Development Gateway; the Arab Reform Observatory; the coalition for Fighting Corruption and Promoting Transparency; and the Info Mall.
Arab youth and middle generations are equally engaged through a number of ongoing projects and regular brainstorming sessions. The Youth are provided a regular platform for exchange and voicing of opinions and thoughts, through the annual Arab Youth Forum, as well as being offered various opportunites to build on existing skills, and acquire grants and scholarships to help them leave their imprint on society through small yet effect projects.
