How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Spain is historically a reference of crossing of cultures. We can organize seminars with institutions as CASA SEFARAD (we are related to them) Casa Arabe, and many institutions that promotes dialogue and peace.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Specially, we would like to start working with the organization MIFALOT. We had a field visit to Israel, a delegation from Red Deporte y Cooperación in 2011, and we share common values and mission, to start working in middle east and the Mediterranean region, to promote peace and dialogue, using sport and culture as tools for peaceful coexistence. That is the initial perspective, but as well to be part of a network that is working to improve the relations in Mediterranean countries and middle east; we can empower the work with our vision on sport to improve relations among people and cultures.
