It is our point of view that we can contribute to the Network in various ways. First of all, by being a young NGO, from a region where we are really lacking them, we have gained powerful insights in the importance of CSO in creating and ensuring Intercultural Dialogue. We are very active, be it in the sessions we are conducting, but also in participating in other networks events, and we would surely mark presence in the ones from this Network. Last but not least, we are skilled in non-formal education, and well connected with relevant stakeholders, which can be very valuable for the network.Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We want to join the network because we identify with its priorities, see it as a powerful networking tool, to create meaningful partnerships and capacitate our members, with the high quality work developed by this network. We want to contribute to it and ensure that it is active and going well in Portugal, as we recognize the huge importance of networks such as this in ensuring meaningful intercultural dialogue and youth participation. Lastly, we see it as a funding opportunity, to better allow us to reach a higher number of youngsters, and to better work with them.
