The Anna Lindh Foundation concluded the final Head of Networks meeting of 2023 which was held in Istanbul, Türkiye on December 14th and 15th and was organised in collaboration with the ALF Heads of Türkiye network. The ALF HoNs play a pivotal role in paving the road for the Foundation’s mission of civil society strengthening across the Mediterranean.
The two-day meeting gathered fifty-three participants from twenty-eight Mediterranean countries engaging in fruitful discussions around the recent work of the ALF programmes as well as the development of its upcoming communication initiatives. The Heads of Network were given the space to address their challenges and insights from their civil society networks.
Additionally, key discussions took place on the engagement activities from the grassroot members of the ALF civil society networks, sharing success stories and impactful contributions from their grassroot members. In a spirit of close cooperation with the Heads of Network, the meeting concluded with strategic planning for the next ALF Forum and the expected network involvement.
