Applications are open for the Anna Lindh Foundation’s ALF in Motion mobility programme, which supports civil society organisations across the Euro-Mediterranean region to build stronger partnerships and carry out face-to-face intercultural activities.

The programme gives organisations the opportunity to host a representative from a partner organisation based on the opposite shore of the Mediterranean. Participants can use the mobility support to develop joint projects, bring experts into existing events, collaborate on creative initiatives or produce new knowledge around intercultural dialogue.
