General Information

Our organisation was established in November 2000 by young artists (music, theatre, painting), professionals in video/photo/sound production, graphic and web design, ICT design and programming and experienced youth activists and entrepreneurs with professional knowledge in business management and marketing. Our goal is to provide a constructive framework for its members to exercise their rights and pursue their interests towards social and professional emancipation within and for betterment of our society. We enable cooperation between members and partners through projects implemented mainly in Creative Industry sector. Hence our finances stream from a range of services and products, membership fees and donations/grants from domestic and international institutions/organisations, which usually amount to 15-20.000 EUR per year. Association gathers app. 200 members, has no permanent employees but members/partners are temporarily employed in projects. It is run by the management team of five to eight people, responsible to the assembly of members.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

With our 15 years of experience in projects implanted with various partners from our region and the rest of Europe, we believe that our know-how and qualified members can greatly contribute towards strengthening of the National ALF Network and its positions in the region.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We strongly believe that self sustainability and development should spring from inside local communities. Hence, networks of individuals/organisation from different communities can bring about a positive change on a larger scale. Moreover, engaging young people with knowledge, drive and energy, through modern and creative ideas and initiatives, surely is a path worth taking in order to see effective and efficient progress take place in our region.
