The association "Youth and Civic Initiatives in the Rose Valley", Karlovo is going to implement a project under the new programs of the Anna Lindh Foundation. Under the "ALF in Motion" program, the association will once again welcome their Egyptian friend - the president of the Agency for Development of Southern Egypt, who will present the topic "Women of Egypt - successes and challenges" during the Women's Forum 2024, which the association will organise for the International Women's Day on March 8, 2024. The association has been a member of the Bulgarian network of the Anna Lindh Foundation since its establishment in 2009 when it implemented a partner project with an organisation from Egypt with the support of the foundation in 2013-2014. The "4D Women Empowerment" project aimed to promote the development of women in all spheres with exchange visits in both countries, training for 20 women from Egypt and 20 from Bulgaria in leadership skills, political and economic empowerment, competitions for children and young people on the topic of getting to know the culture and history of both countries and an organised event "Days of the Arab culture and the role of women in it" under the patronage of the Ambassador of Egypt in Bulgaria. The partnership between the two organisations, established with the support of the Anna Lindh Foundation, continues over the years through implemented youth exchanges and a partnership project in the field of sport, also promoting the participation of women in sports.
