We belong to an informal youth network in Europe because of the great number of projects we participated in or organised.
The staff & volunteers are eager to help other organisations to create projects within Youth in Action Programme, & assess on other youth programmes in Europe.
We will also give visibility to the Anna Lindh Foundation to youngsters, local organisations, local administrations & our network via Internet/facebook, so that it is better known & to give the possibility to participate in its projects in the future.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We wish to create new projects & find new partners, especially to foster human rights, equal opportunities for all, & intercultural learning.
Until now, we tried to do projects within EUROMED quite unsucessfully, because it is difficult to find partners in the north of Africa and once we got them, it was not possible to get visa. So we hope to overcome these problems with the support of the foundation too.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We believe that we can contribute to the ANF network in our country by bringing new ideas and perspectives to the Spanish network, as well as participating with new educational techniques and collaborating with new partners.
Talasa Association is a relatively recent NGO, but we have a great sense of responsibility and work, and this is a priority for us at all times in order to provide quality products. That is why, despite our short duration, we have already worked successfully on many projects and with different partners.
Relations between Mediterranean countries are often not given the importance that they really have and we believe that from our role as part of the Spanish civil society, we can advocate for improving the general knowledge in the population, as well as offering new educational opportunities. Whenever we carry out and manage projects we always try to introduce participants from different parts of Spain, as well as with different levels of opportunity, in order to achieve an ever-greater reach and an accomplishment of objectives that will bring about real change in society.
Therefore, we wish to contribute to the ANL network in our country in order to have a new and fundamental way of opportunities for the participants. As well as a task to motivate and disseminate Mediterranean relations in our country, introducing new actors, methodology and innovative approaches.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Talasa Youth Association arose from the interest of a group of classmates in the Master of the Complutense University of Madrid, "The European Union and the Mediterranean". Therefore, the focus on the Mediterranean region has been a priority at all times, even before the association was formalised as such.
The theme of the Mediterranean and the possibility of bringing these countries closer together seems to us to be fundamental. We live facing the Mediterranean, but we are often unaware of what exists on the other side of the sea. We want to participate in the ANF Network in order to provide learning opportunities and bring these shores closer together, which we believe are very similar and where it is possible to learn in all respects.
We want to be able to deepen our Mediterranean richness and give value to all the opportunities that are taking place around it, as is the case of the opportunities offered by the Anna Lindh Foundation. We want to be able to offer quality education and teachings from the Mediterranean to our local area, as well as to share our perspectives and culture in other places in order to enhance dialogue and bridge building. This bridge-building is, after all, one of the main objectives of the Talasa Youth Association, and we hope that these bridges can be built throughout the Mediterranean.

We trust that there is strength in unity, and we have realized that working as a team with other associations interested in contributing with solutions to the same problem will allow us to better distribute our actions and, above all, generate a greater impact.

General Information
La Tierra Verde Association is a Canary Islands non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 2003. The main objective of our association has been, since its creation, to raise awareness about the role that sustainability can and should play in promoting society and active involvement in a broad spectrum of issues (of social, intercultural, environmental, etc.). To goal sustainability we invest a lot of efforts in diffusing and distributing updated and reliable information and in encouraging the utilization of information for the shaping of virtuous and socially viable behaviors. We are particularly interested in the promotion of intercultural activities using sustainability and environmental protection as common topics, cooperating with many environmental organizations. We are working nowadays in the promotion of Erasmus+: Youth in Action around Canarias region. 
Mission and Objectives

La Tierra Verde is based on volunteer work, where board members and rest of organisation are involved on the success of activities. At the moment we have no employees, so all profit obtained with our porjects remain on projects and local society.
All our incomes belongs to European Comissión projects, being involved in Grundtvig adult education projects (partnership) and mostly "Youth in Action" and "Erasmus+: Youth in Action": dozens of youth exchanges, Job Shadowing activities, 1 seminar and 1 EVS hosting experience. Our incomes during 2014 has been of 33.200€.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Our expertise organizing various kinds of events give the chance to Anna Lidh Foundation (ALF) EuroMed to implement meetings and international conferences among EuroMed countries and european countries.
The Canary Islands are a spanish archipelago located just off the southern coast of Morocco, 100 kilometres (62 miles) west of its southern border. The geographical situation of Canaries and its environmental & climate conditions allows the organisations of international events all along the year, specially in winter time.
The direct flight connections from Canaries to european countries are complemented with direct flights to several african countries, including Maroc, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia and Green Cape Islands.
Considering we receive over 12 million visitors per year, the capability of islands to host huge groups are very well demonstrated.
La Tierra Verde has an important experience in youth international projects, so that we could offer ALF EuroMed partners updated information related to know how, and even participation in defined projects to be implemented in any of Canary Isles.
Our diversity is not only on nature. Human diversity is very wide in our opinion. The overwhelming majority of native Canarians are Roman Catholic with various smaller foreign-born populations of other Christian beliefs such as Protestants from northern Europe. But there are important number of Muslims (just in Gran Canaria there are no less than 8 mosques). Other religious faiths represented include The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as Hinduism (with the biggest India community in Spain). Minority religions are also present such as Buddhism, Baha'i & Corean Christian church. The cohabitance of these beliefs are excelent.
So that, in our opinion Canary Islands & La Tierra Verde could offer ALF EuroMed a new approach about intercultural dialogue.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

During years of participation in youth international projects, we have seen that some EuroMed (and not only) partners are members of ALF, very involved in activities all along the region.
After long debates in our organisation, we have seen that to became members of ALF EuroMed is a good chance for both sides: the experience in international projects in a priveleged atlantic region as Canaries and the strength of a prestigious international organisation with a very important number of members and very good & professional activities for interculturality and mutual understanding.
In our opinion, a great combination.

General Information

La andadura de la Asociación Marroquí para la Integración de los Inmigrantes comienza en 2003 de la mano de un grupo de estudiantes universitarios de origen marroquí que no pudo permanecer ajeno a las situaciones de injusticias. Desde entonces no hemos dejado de caminar para avanzar en la inclusión de las personas migrantes que se encuentran en España en situación de vulnerabilidad y también de aquellas de origen español que están en riesgo de exclusión. Lo hacemos desde distintos ámbitos: dando apoyo social, laboral, educativo, jurídico, sanitario. También damos cobijo y hacemos acompañamiento a la juventud migrante extutelada, además de trabajar en materia de prevención de la islamofobia. Somos un apoyo para muchas personas. Son el motor que nos mueve para seguir trabajando por la integración.

Respecto a la estructura de la organización tenemos a 27 personas trabajadoras en plantilla, 2 con discapacidad y 4 en situación de exclusión social, contribuyendo a la brecha de género donde la mitad de las personas trabajadoras son mujeres.

El trabajo en red se hace indispensable en el ámbito social, así como el apoyo de otras organizaciones e instituciones con las que compartimos el propósito de ayudar en lo posible a personas en riesgo de exclusión social. Por eso solo en 2020 firmamos 16 acuerdos nuevos con entidades locales, nacionales e internacionales, además de mantener otros convenios anteriores. De la mano, llegamos a más personas.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Nuestra Asociación puede aportar nuevas narrativas que potencien el intercambio para alejarnos de la confrontación que enfrentan las sociedades hoy en día. Fomentamos el diálogo de la tolerancia, el respeto y libertad en torno a la inmigración y la diversidad religiosa. Ampliamos y seguiremos ampliando la perspectiva social nacional, haciéndolo realidad a través de la participación en la vida pública y ofreciendo esperanza, coraje, recursos y empoderamiento a la ciudadanía inmigrante.
Seguiremos construyendo sociedades más inclusivas, empáticas y resilientes, para luchar contra la creciente desconfianza y polarización; queriendo, por tanto, combatir los discursos extremistas y las radicalizaciones construyendo una cultura basada en el diálogo y el intercambio.
Muchos de nuestros proyectos están dirigidos hacia el fomento de este diálogo y esta visibilidad de otras narrativas no escuchadas, fuera de las narrativas dominantes.

Crear redes con otras fundaciones y entidades forma parte de nuestros objetivos de cara a 2023. Colaborar entre nosotras siempre es un punto positivo para cualquier entidad y al leer la misión de esta Fundación, pensamos en pertenecer de inmediato a ella por la similitud de valores, actividades y objetivos que la Fundación persigue.
Uno de nuestros objetivos de 2023 es crear más sinergias con otras entidades para poder seguir expandiendo nuestras actividades hacia una mayor población, esparciendo la semilla de la diversidad cultural y religiosa hacia cualquier persona. Nuestra asociación siempre quiere ir más allá, quiere seguir sensibilizando y formando en temas de inmigración e islamofobia, y seguir reivindicando derechos y ofreciendo recursos al colectivo inmigrante, pero siempre dando pasos más grandes e ir abarcando más espacios. Por eso, pensamos que con vuestra Fundación podemos conseguir alcanzar ese paso que nos queda para poder abrir mucho más al mundo nuestra entidad.
