Members of the ALF Lebanese Network participated in an online networking session on 21 December 2023 with Albanian and Danish members to discuss the joint challenges they face and to generate ideas for cooperation in addressing those challenges.
This session facilitated by the Coordinator of the Lebanese Network, was part of a series initiated by the Albanian Media Institute (HoN Albania) in collaboration with Our Common Future (HoN Luxembourg), Agir Ensemble (HoN Morocco) and the Lebanese National Commission for UNESCO (HoN Lebanon). This initiative gathered approximately 50 network members, fostering collaboration between ALF network members across the North and South of the Mediterranean.
Discussions revealed that challenges faced by all countries were remarkably similar, marking a crucial step towards fostering synergies and joint actions. The thematic focus encompassed youth engagement, gender equality/gender-based violence, diversity and human rights, polarization and hate speech, along with media and information literacy.
Post-sessions, HoN in Albania initiated a call for proposals, encouraging participating members to apply and address the shared challenges identified during the discussions.
