FLAGSHIP PROGRAMMES

The mission of the Anna Lindh Network in the Netherlands is to support and connect civil society organisations and representatives in the Netherlands involved in intercultural dialogue and promoting mutual understanding between communities in the Euro-Mediterranean region. We believe that working together in this network and sharing experiences and resources will contribute to our common goal of building an inclusive and resilient EuroMediterranean civil society.
Our task is to engage the network as much as possible, build on the thematic priorities, focus on increasing youth involvement, identify peace builders that can contribute to an end of the current Israeli-Palestinian war and how network members can contribute to peace building. To this end, various activities will be organised, such as providing information via a newsletter and LinkedIn group, regular physical network meetings, social events, setting up projects and capacity building activities.
In April 2026, the Anna Lindh Foundation Network in the Netherlands consisted of 77 civil society organisations. Their main fields of interest and activities are International cultural relations, Youth, Arts, Democracy and Human Rights.
In 2024, network members elected the Stichting Arab-West Foundation as the Head of Network.
Established in 2005 as a non-profit organization, the Arab-West Foundation is registered in the Netherlands as Stichting Arab-West Foundation. Our aim is to encourage and promote tolerance, understanding and dialogue between Muslim and non-Muslim communities and societies as well as the Arab and Western Worlds. We believe that dialogue – and the need for people to be informed – is the key to forming non-violent solutions.
The Arab-West Foundation in the Netherlands is the owner and publisher of Arab-West Report (ISSN number 2210-3597). Arab-West Report, in 2022 renamed Dialogue Across Borders (ISSN number 2949‐6934). Data production is carried out through partners in Egypt. We wish to see data contributions expanded to other countries.
