What is the Forum?The Abraham Forum for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue is a non-profit association based in Spain.Through cultural and educational activities we want to contribute to the mutual knowledge of people of different religious beliefs.The Abraham Forum aims to create a space for dialogue from a socio-cultural, apolitical and academic approach, with absolute respect for the beliefs of its members and participants in its activities.To this end, we organize social and cultural activities, promote research in the field of interreligious and intercultural dialogue and cooperation between academic institutions and civil society in Spain and the world. We cooperate with national and international entities and activities of promotion, development and organization and / or sponsorship of artistic and cultural activities and volunteer training.
We organize conferences, we participate in intercultural concerts, intercultural camps and we do special events during Ramadan, Hanukkah and Christmas. For instance, we ask a little mosque in a little village to open the doors to all neighbors and we encourage them to visit it by organizing an activity inside. We are also planning to visit schools with an interreligious calendar to have the chance to discus about the importance of religion in the society.
We are the only association dedicated to interreligious dialogue whose structure is interreligious in itself. We believe that it is also necessary to address the religious dimension of people because it is often forgotten even though it is part of the identity. We can contribute to improve knowledge of minority religions and promote safe spaces for dialogue.
We are a small association and we need support to keep growing. We like the values of the Foundation and also personally, we know people who work in it and that gives us confidence.
This report presents the results of twelve focus groups carried out in six European countries (France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland and Spain) and addressing topics of concern for the study of EU foreign security and defence policy. In particular, participants...

Fundació ACSAR is an NGO dedicated to constructing a plural and diverse society through the study of migrations and the promotion of social cohesion. The structure of the organization consists of a president (Carles Campuzano, former MP), a secretary, a board (composed by members of the trade unions CCOO and UGT) and two employees. The available budgetary resources vary every year, as do the sources of funding (i.e. from Fundació La Caixa to the European Union), depending on the implemented activities. Considering the last two economic exercises, the organization has held an approximate annual budget of 50.000 €. The modalities of action include a large variety of activities, such as the annual seminars on asylum and LGTB refugees, the 2018 project in support of refugees in Greece, or the conferences in Palau Macaya (Barcelona) with politicians, political scientists and members of the civil society.
Fundació ACSAR aims to construct a plural and diverse society, through the achievement of equal rights and emphasizing the relevance of equal opportunities as a tool to accomplish basic needs and strategical social interests. Moreover, it seeks to simultaneously reinforce duties and responsibilities for a democratic convivence. With these purposes in mind, public policy analysis, as a facilitator of human mobility and of social cohesion processes, becomes more necessary than never.
Fundació ACSAR develops its task through the implementation of several projects in different fields of work. Its main actions are framed in the next types of activities: applied research in collaboration with university research groups and think tanks; organization of formative seminars for NGOs, professionals and public administrations; technic support for the public administration in the elaboration, design and evaluation of policies, programs and projects; creation of debate and reflection spaces, as well as publication of both academic and non-academic materials.
Some examples of the main activities mentioned above have been: the research carried jointly with GRITIM-UPF on “The paths of young people of diverse origins in Barcelona”, the annual seminars on asylum and international protection (with the collaboration of Generalitat de Catalunya and the Barcelona City Council); the current design of an unprecedented observatory of immigration in Catalonia; or the 2013-2018 conferences with Fundació La Caixa on migration, interculturalism, and diversity.
As a promoter of the future Catalan Observatory of Immigration (which is expected to be ready by the end of 2020), it is Fundació ACSAR’s aim to be in constant contact and coordination with all the organizations that are already taking part in ALF’s network (not only in Catalonia and Spain but also in the Euro-Med region). Fundació ACSAR can provide a wide range of greately useful data, as well as collaborate in the implementation of projects and the elaboration of seminars and conferences related to interculturalism, diversity and asylum (as it has been already doing with CIDOB, GRITIM-UPF, La Caixa, Fundació Catalunya-Europa, the United Nations or the Catalan Secretary of Immigration, among others).
Because we are living in a modern era, where the concept of citizenship is more important than ever, it is essential for Fundació ACSAR to be in close contact with entities, organizations and members of civil society whose pursuit is to establish an intercultural global society. Moreover, Fundació ACSAR deems as crucial the design, elaboration and implementation of projects aimed to seek social equality and cohesion, as well as the advocacy and promotion of a trend of thought based on the defense of human rights. Therefore, becoming part of Anna Lindh Foundation’s network would be a major boost in the achievement of these goals, in order to contribute to a more equal society.
