Anna Lindh Network Netherlands

Mission and vision

The mission of the Anna Lindh Network in the Netherlands is to support and connect civil society organisations and representatives in the Netherlands involved in intercultural dialogue and promoting mutual understanding between communities in the Euro-Mediterranean region. We believe that working together in this network and sharing experiences and resources will contribute to our common goal of building an inclusive and resilient EuroMediterranean civil society.

Network members and coordinator

The Anna Lindh Foundation Network in the Netherlands consists of over 60 civil society organizations. Their main fields of interest and activities are International cultural relations, Youth, Arts, Democracy and Human Rights. In the last week of June, 2024, network members elected the Stichting Arab-West Foundation as the Head of Network, https://www.arabwestfoundation.com/home

Activities

In 2024-2025, the main task is to revitalize the network, build on the thematic priorities the previous Head of Network identified, focus on increasing youth involvement, identify peace builders that can contribute to an end of the current Israeli-Palestinian war and how network members can contribute to peace building. To this end, various activities will be organized, such as providing information via a newsletter and LinkedIn group, regular physical network meetings, social events and possibly setting up projects or capacity building activities.
