We partner also with commercial companies (IBM, Cap Gemini, Groupe Lagardère-Active, Aksal Social Initiative) and with associations. The yearly budgets varies between 40.000 and 200.000 Euro. We organize personal development workshops, grant scholarships, coach students, organize study travels abroad for disadvantaged students, arrange internships in multinational companies.Mission and Objectives

In the last ten years we have gained a wide experience in the management of transnational projects in the education sector. We'd like to share this experience and knowhow. All the members of our association are bilcultural with shared biographies in North Africa and Europe so that we can contribute to a better mutual understanding between these two regions.Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We want (1) to meet more people who are interested in improving the understanding between the Mena countries and the European countries, (2) to receive new impulses from and maybe give impulses to other organizations with common interests, (3) to meet potential partners with whom we could carry out new projects, (4) to participate in different thematic working groups.
