As a foundation headquartered in Germany, we have chosen our second site in Tarifa Spain with great intention. Our physical location where two continents and two oceans meet symbolizes our objective to bring together people, with all their knowledge, capabilities, and intercultural diversity. We want to collaborate and learn from other entities with similar objectives, and network with like-minded associations in the South med area.
Our entity has the capacity to support and empower other smaller local actors working in the area in the field of intercultural dialogue. We aim to use our resources to encourage smaller actors to participate at the local level, on both shores of the Mediterrean.
