Our mission is to promote cultural activities in the suburbs of Melilla, a border town between Spain and Morocco. The aim of our actions is to seek a possible integration between different parts of the city: the center and the suburb. Our mission is to search for an encounter between cultures and groups living in this place. We work to promote mutual respect between cultures.
Our main project is called “Kahina”. Since 2013, the project is working using Art and audiovisual to ameliorate the suburbs of the city. On the other hand, the project aims to create visibility and break down stereotypes regarding the suburbs of Melilla. We work in particular with youth from berber-imazighen origin. We organize artistic workshops, we produce local radio programs in an institute, we organize performance, parties in the suburbs, exhibitions etc.
We work in a peculiar space, a border city where people from diverse ethnic groups coexist. Our work promote intercultural coexistence between people living in the Mediterranean area and we would like to share our experience with the Network. On the other side, being part of the Network means to us the chance to learn from other experiences and build bridges of collaboration. Through our social networks we can promote this exchange and promote the work of the ALF Network.
To share our experience with other associations and to find partners and similar experiences so to build together collaborations. The ALF is a wonderful institution that bring people together from across the Mediterranean and improve mutual respect between cultures. We work locally on the same mission, and so this is why we would love to be part of their Networks.
