How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We want ot announce our programs within the network, offer ourselves as partner for new projects together with other partners/members of ALF.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We want to deepen our international cooperation with other organizations which aim on respect between people and cultures. We already have many bilateral partners in the Mediterranean area, but we want to be part of a strong multi-lateral network. The ideas of the ALF fit perfectly to the statutory goals of DJH.
