We can share our best practice and experience what we have had when organising Living libraries with refguees in different places in Latvia, we can contribute to the festival, what ALF is making in Latvia.
Because we thinkg that ALF Network brings people, who have similar values to ours, togehter. We think that people in ALF Network believes that dialoge is the way of comuncation and brining people together solves predujuce and stereotypes. We think that ALF can help us to work with islamofobia, xenofobia in Latvia, where we believe it s a big problem.
