General Information

The Shanti Foundation is a non-profit foundation based in Berlin. It was founded in 2019 by Dr. Christa Pandey and is dedicated to promoting human encounters in all areas of culture and the idea of international understanding.

Mission and Objectives

Our guiding principle is the personal encounter, exchange and understanding. We support projects that create connection, resonance and meaning. We are effective when new relationships are established between people from different backgrounds and socialisations who would otherwise never have met. We place projects for young people in particular at the centre of our work, as we are convinced that this is where the impact is most sustainable. Supporting humanitarian projects is therefore not a direct focus of the foundation's work.

Main Projects / Activities

At the Shanti Foundation, we are committed to making encounters between people possible. We are talking about encounters that are new and surprising as well as encounters beyond our comfort zone.

In view of a perceived divide in many societies, our social interaction is often at the centre of daily news. It is commonplace that mutual understanding, respect and acceptance need to be strengthened. The real challenge lies in recognising and overcoming prejudices that are simply assumed and reproduced. To do this, we need situations of encounter in which people with different perspectives can come together on an equal footing. We need spaces of encounter in which people can have their own positive experiences with each other.

Testing, exploring and researching formats for encounters and contacts that are sustainable is more important than ever. We support suitable methods and tools so that people can influence and inspire each other. In order to bring people into contact in the first place, we support creative approaches to reach them.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are a small and young foundation that would like to specialise in methods and formats of encounter in the future. Together with our project partners, we would like to become experts in formats that are effective and sustainable. There are many daily contacts and many perspectives in our societies. But we would like to ask ourselves how we can support people in not just shielding or consuming other perspectives, but taking them seriously and respecting them? Within a network that focuses on intercultural dialogue, we can contribute our experience. Every foundation and every NGO has successes, but also failures. We can learn from these instead of making the same mistakes if we know about them from each other.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We are primarily interested in exchange. We would like to share experiences, evaluations and possible scientific findings in contact research. Projects are usually selective and short-term. We rarely know whether and how they have actually worked. We hope that this knowledge will be pooled in a network without being lost.

General Information

Lokomotiva is a small organization, project-based run due to a lack of available resources for structural funds. There are twelve members of the assembly, four people in the management structure and two ongoing collaborators. All are working on honorarium basses. Sources of funds are mixed, mostly from European funds, international donors, and some from the Ministry of Culture. Lokomotiva developed and implemented diverse culture and art projects, in different media and formats, such as performances, education, capacity building, training programmes, debates, discussions, exhibitions, researchers, advocacy activities and others. Lokomotiva understands culture as an extended field, co-related with society, and art as an experimental communication and post-discipline field that extends the forms of expression, production and dissemination.
Lokomotiva is a co-founder of spaces and associations locally and regionally and was a co-organiser in different EU projects, some late: ArtClimateTransition (2019-2023), (Non)Aligned Movements and ReImagine- green transition in performing arts.

Mission and Objectives

Mission
Lokomotiva is a civil society organization that develops and creates working conditions for the development, research, production, and presentation of the art practices and other work processes of professionals in the field of contemporary arts and culture.
Lokomotiva achieves this by generating new models of collaboration, advocacy in the creation of developmental cultural policies on local, regional, and international levels, discursive, residency, educational and production modes, as well as the development of needed capacities in the community.

• Improving working conditions in the field of contemporary art and the non-institutional scene (new space, institution, residency space(s), workers’ rights and universal basic income);
• Creating systems and mechanisms for international cooperation in the field of culture

Main Projects / Activities

Lokomotiva has an interdisciplinary approach to its programs and includes activities that support professional development and lifelong learning through education, creation and production, art exchange, diffusion, research, lectures, presentations, public debates and networking, and it is also present accentuated with a special purpose within a specific program activity.
What connects all programs is the re-reading of production models, educational, institutional and social practices and discourses, association models and partnership cooperation and advocacy for social change. All programs aim to offer new approaches and models of cooperation, production and education that contribute to social cultural and development and changes.
Programs in 2024

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We will bring sociocultural capital cultivated over the past two decades within our organization, through collaborations and our programs, particularly focused on the Balkans region but extending to encompass a broader European space. Our collective expertise encompasses a diverse array of experiences, fostering an intersectional perspective that integrates cultural dynamics with pertinent socio-political themes such as environmental concerns, gender politics, feminism, and communal initiatives. Moreover, we have a deep understanding of collaborative methodologies and their frameworks, including insights into both local and international cooperative endeavors. Additionally, we are engaged in policy activities and advocacy actions for providing better working conditions within regional collaborative contexts.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We want to connect and share our experiences with other regions and spaces, to bring those experiences to our collaborators- artists, cultural workers and other communities. Also, we would like to enhance endeavours among us and other organizations, bring artistic works, but also talk and discuss issues that concern us- such as gender inequalities and politics, environmental catastrophe etc.

• sources of financing: project financing and provision of services
• Project "MEDIATION AND COURT IN SUPPORT OF BUSINESS: Popularizing fast, fair and effective dispute resolution through court referral programs to mediation"; Project "Promoting the use of mediation in Sofia Municipality, Nadezhda District"; training; seminars; team-building; civil initiatives; certifying and advanced training for mediators; negotiations; mediation procedures; consulting;
• main partners - municipalities, institutions, organizations; private individuals;

Mission and Objectives

In a world filled with conflicts and differences, our mission is to show a way to overcome them. We believe in the power of dialogue. We educate communities about a type of communication that leads to understanding and accepting each other's positions and points of view. Our path between polarization and distrust is mediation. Through presence, active listening, and effective collaboration, this process allows us to reach the driving motives of each side. Its strength lies in empathy, understanding, trust, and resolving a specific dispute to a feasible solution. Applying the techniques used in mediation in various personal and professional situations enhances the quality of life for the individual. Its use in organizations and institutions strengthens the democratic principles of society as a whole and gives confidence to all people in the fairness and ability to overcome difficulties.
The main goals of the Dispute Resolution Center are:
- to inform and familiarize individuals and key groups in society with the benefits and effects of implementing mediation as a way to resolve disputes/conflicts/problems;
- to assist individuals, legal entities, institutions, organizations, and all communities and groups in resolving conflicts between them through mediation;
- to carry out all related activities that would lead to promoting individuality, tolerance, freedom, and progress for each individual and for society as a whole.

Main Projects / Activities

The Center for Dispute Resolution (CDR) is the first center in Bulgaria to introduce the service of "mediation in municipality": the "Sredets" district of Sofia Municipality introduced a free mediation service for the residents of the district in 2019, which is still being used to this day. Within the framework of the "Promoting the use of mediation in Sofia Municipality, Nadezhda District" Project, the mediation service is now also offered in the "Nadezhda" district of Sofia Municipality. Our goal is for more districts in the capital to offer this service for the benefit of the citizens, and for it to become accessible to residents of most of the municipalities across the country.
CDR is the organization in Bulgaria that has developed and implemented an educational program on the subject of "Basics of Mediation" in schools. The curriculum is adapted for students in the high school level of education, aiming to enhance their emotional intelligence, reduce aggression in schools, and help students develop their communication and social skills. The training is conducted by qualified teachers - mediators;
CDR organizes and hosts the annual National Students Mediation Competition. Traditionally, teams from universities across the country participate in it. They come from various fields - humanities, technical, even military. Every year, the meetings and exchange of experiences and knowledge with them allow mediation to become more popular and find its application in different professional fields.
CDR organizes and conducts high-quality training for mediators from all over the country. Its training activities as an educational organization are approved by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Bulgaria with license LS-04-903/16.05.2013. The Center for Dispute Resolution prides itself on its high professionalism and commitment to quality in training mediators. Thanks to our training program in the field of dispute resolution, we have the opportunity to build strong and competent mediators who know how to successfully participate in international disputes and achieve harmonious results for all parties involved.
Within the framework "MEDIATION AND COURT IN SUPPORT OF BUSINESS: Popularizing fast, fair and effective dispute resolution through court referral programs to mediation" Project CDR is the organization that has trained about one-third of the active mediators in the Republic of Bulgaria.
CDR takes care of improving the qualifications of practicing mediators by conducting specialized training in the areas of family, commercial, and intellectual property mediation.
It organizes and hosts various types of seminars, courses, and training related to enhancing communication skills, special mediator techniques, and methods for successful negotiation management in the form of team-building activities and through the method of "experiential learning".
CDR provides the service of mediation - for family and commercial disputes; workplace disputes; disputes within organizations; disputes between individuals and legal entities.
CDR advises organizations, individuals, and institutions on the effective use of the mediation procedure as an alternative way to resolve conflicts of all kinds.
Takes part in all initiatives about informing society and promoting mediation as a primary method for finding solutions and resolving conflicts.
