The ALF Foundation releases annual calls for proposals for one- and three-year projects. Local initiatives are supported through micro and small grants, dedicated to a specific topic. Its members are encouraged to develop joint projects and enjoy the benefits of ALF's supporting programmes such as the Mediterranean Journalist Award or the Euro-Med Award for the Dialogue between Cultures.
Background
Recognising the urgent need for the promotion of cross-Mediterranean dialogue and cooperation, in 2005 the European Union and the 35 member countries of the Euro-Med Partnership created a specific instrument specifically for this purpose. The Alexandria-based Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures (ALF) is the first EU institution on the southern shore of the Mediterranean.
Organisation
The ALF stimulates and facilitates genuine cooperation between independent operators in the broad field of culture, including the arts, education, and media. In order to be connected to the independent cultural sector in the whole region, ALF has initiated the establishment of national networks in its 35 partner countries. A potential member can be an organisation or an individual person and must have experienced at trans-national, cross-Mediterranean cultural cooperation or be able to demonstrate a strong interest in such cooperation. The network is open to new members.
Since 2008 SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts is co-ordinator of the Anna Lindh network in Slovenia, succeeding the Peace Institute - Institute for Contemporary Social and Political Studies.
