ESAI EN ROI Board is proud to announce within its members and wider that since February 2023 has been included in the members of Anna Lindh Foundation (belonging to the Focal Point of North Greece).
The Anna Lindh Foundation is an international organisation working from the Mediterranean to promote intercultural and civil society dialogue in the face of growing mistrust and polarisation.
According to their purpose statements:
ALF members go in line with the ALF belief that:
1. We need alternative narratives to fight extremist discourses and radicalizations
That’s why we empower young voices by providing platforms for young people to build together more open, inclusive and resilient communities.
2. We need more inclusive and empathetic societies to fight the lack of trust and intolerance
To do so, we introduce impactful research on international policymaking. We provide a unique understanding of conflict dynamics through research and opinion-leadership.
3. We need to build a culture based on dialogue and exchange
By leading a movement. Our network aims to bring together and inspire other civil societies and multiplying our impact in that way.
Narratives, inclusiveness, empathy, and exchange. In other words, this could be summed up in the notion that we firmly believe in the power of dialogue, because it increases our tolerance, makes us freer, enlarges our perspectives, defines our individuality, speeds up our progress, makes our democracies real and gives hope and courage to oppressed people around the world.
