The Network of Networks

At the heart of ALF’s structure lies a dynamic force, visually symbolised by the 43 pebbles in our logo. Each pebble stands for a unique voice and perspective, all connected together in the same space. This visual representation is proudly brought to life by ALF’s Networks of over 4,500 members, making it the largest civil society Network in the Euro-Mediterranean region. Our Network spans a diverse range of entities, community-based organisations, academic institutions, social enterprises, local administrations, media outlets and more. The diversity of our networks’ members extends also to their fields of expertise ranging from arts and culture to education and everything in between.
Every network interprets intercultural dialogue through its own lens and contributes in its own way. This diversity in approach promotes creative problem-solving and effective implementation strategies. One size does not fit all, and therein lies our strength, being innovative and adaptable, transcending size, diversity, and geography.Together, we implement coexistence in practice, creating an extended community strongly united by a shared vision yet enriched by its diversity.
