In the framework of the 25th Celebration of the Barcelona Process, the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) brings together more than 3,000 civil society organizations, institutions, governments, local and regional decision-makers, entrepreneurs, young people, the media and academia in an unprecedented, large scale virtual event: the Anna Lindh Virtual Marathon for Dialogue. It will take place during 42 days, from 19 May to 29 June 2021.

The aim of the Virtual Marathon is to highlight the importance of Intercultural Dialogue to build sustainable societies in the EuroMed Region.

Considered as the backbone of the Virtual Marathon, 7 weekly Public Dialogues will engage key participants and will be open to the public around issues crucial for the Euro-Med and the world.

The ALF Networks of the 42 countries of the Union for the Mediterranean will organise 63 national and inter-network activities all around the Mediterranean basin to stress that intercultural dialogue is the only way to sustainable societies in the EuroMed Region.

The Anna Lindh Foundation is an organisation shared and resourced by forty-three Euro-Mediterranean countries with the mandate to bring people together and promote intercultural dialogue. With its headquarters in Alexandria, the Anna Lindh Foundation runs a EuroMed network of over 4000 civil society organisations with the aim of facilitating their collaborations and common actions.
