How can you contribute to the Network in your country?
We aim to organize more projects to promote dialogue in the Mediterranean area through art involving young artists in transnational mobility actions. We aim to foster international cooperation in the Euromed context also because Matera will be the Capital of Culture and Dialogue in 2026; we wish to start cooperation with Tetouan but also Alexandria and other future capitals. We already started cooperation with Tirana in 2025.
Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We feel belonging to the Mediterranean and we feel there is an urgent need to promote dialogue among younger generations and people in general.
