How can you contribute to the Network in your country?
We can participate in joint projects by transferring the experience of the hybrid character of Cypriot culture to countries that may still find it difficult to move forward in synergies and cooperation between seemingly disparate societies. For this very reason, Cyprus can become a field of fruitful discussions and artistic actions that unite and promote culture and the arts.
Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We believe that the Mediterranean Sea is the natural symbol of the union of peoples and cultures. It is the common value towards which Europe, North Africa, the Balkans, the Levant, converge culturally and artistically. Cyprus, a perennial recipient of this dynamic, can be a valuable partner in this network of inspiring partners.
