Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We would like to be more integrated in ALF network and possibilities that ALF provides to its members. We are presently already planning a joint project between Baltic and Medditerranean countries who are also ALF member states and the project itself is line with Anna Lindh Foundation’s ‘4D’ Strategy. Our team is very interested in building on that experience and becoming more involved in ALF missiion and acitivities. We work with different NGO across the world, but being a member of ALF and ALF's Estonian network will be a big incentive going forward as well as the benefits provided for members.
