Czech Network

Le réseau national de la Fondation Anna Lindh en République tchèque met en relation les organisations de la société civile et les citoyens afin d’instaurer la confiance et d’améliorer la compréhension mutuelle. La fonction de chef de réseau national est assurée par l’Institute of International Relations (IIR), qui travaille dans le domaine des relations internationales, notamment dans les régions des Balkans, de la Méditerranée, du Moyen-Orient, de l’Afrique du Nord et de l’Afrique subsaharienne. Ces domaines sont étudiés principalement en regard de la politique étrangère et de sécurité commune de l’Union européenne. 

En tant qu’institution indépendante fondée à l’origine par le ministère des Affaires étrangères, l’IIR fournit également des analyses et des recommandations politiques. Il constitue également un lien entre le monde universitaire, le public et la pratique politique internationale. 

La FAL en République tchèque est un réseau de plusieurs dizaines d’organisations réunies sous l’égide du dialogue interculturel. Son action se traduit aussi par des initiatives dans les domaines du changement climatique, de la culture et de l’autonomisation des femmes et des jeunes. Le réseau tchèque est remarquablement diversifié et comprend des associations culturelles et communautaires, des institutions universitaires, des organisations de jeunesse et des particuliers. 

Les principaux objectifs du réseau sont la promotion du dialogue entre les différentes cultures, l’introduction de questions importantes dans le débat universitaire et public, et l’implication des communautés dans la vie publique. Compte tenu des différences régionales de perception des diverses cultures, le réseau tchèque doit soutenir des initiatives dans des lieux autres que la capitale. Il le fait principalement à travers des événements culturels de différentes tailles. En République tchèque, la FAL offre chaque année à ses membres une formation gratuite sur un sujet pertinent, soutient la promotion des événements des membres, offre la possibilité de participer à des projets communs et encourage l’échange d’expositions passionnantes, de matériel éducatif et d’espaces événementiels. 

À l’avenir, dans le cadre de ses événements et activités, le réseau tchèque devrait s’impliquer davantage dans des projets transfrontaliers et s’inspirer des meilleures pratiques des autres réseaux nationaux de la FAL. À cet égard, les échanges transfrontaliers sont également l’occasion de diffuser l’expérience et les connaissances tchèques. De par sa composition, le réseau tchèque, fort de son expérience académique et culturelle, est capable de déployer des projets qui combinent ces deux sphères et apportent ainsi de nouvelles perspectives au thème du dialogue interculturel.

Mission and Objectives

Using English as the common language we provide an informal environment that encourages an exchange of cross-cultural ideas. Through a combination of social, cultural and educational activities, stereotypes and prejudices can be challenged and closer relationships develop.
In the International Youth Program we began to concentrate on relationships with the Mediterranean countries, as these were the lesser known cultures and peoples. The common impression in the Czech Republic of many Mediterranean countries received through the mass media is overwhelmingly negative, which creates distrust and fear of the unknown. The projects we have initiated aim at building trust and understanding.

Main Projects / Activities

“The Czech Mediterranean” Liberec, January 2006.( Greece, Israel, Malta, Turkey, Palestine and the Czech Republic).The project is to enable young people to learn about life, culture and customs in each others’ countries
“Trakya Kenteler Bulusmasi”, an Exchange concerning the promotion of free time activities among young people, held in Turkey /September 2005.
We are hosting a volunteer from Turkey.
