The People of the Anna Lindh Foundation

From all the key figures provided in this review Building on the experience of the first ten years (*) about the achievements of the Anna Lindh and the expertise aquired, the Foundation now faces Foundation since its inception, the most striking the challenge to better respond to the demands of refers to the people invoved in its activities. these people. Our regional constituency is in trouble, with societies shaken by a deep social crisis in most Throughout the past ten years, thousands of women of Europe, and by uncertain and painful transitions in and men have participated in activities organised by the Southern Mediterranean. But the social reality is the Foundation and benefited from its programmes. In more complex, and as the Anna Lindh Report shows, more recent years, I met many of them. It was during in most of the countries there is a growing appettite the two Anna Lindh Fora organised in Barcelona and for discovering other realities and human exchanges. Marseille, but also, and most importantly, in attending In many societies, the social and cultural trends go in grassroot initiatives organised by the Foundation in the opposite direction than the one we receive from many places of the region. Most of them were young populist public discourse or media narratives. people. Many of them were women. All of them were citizens in search of hope, committed to the values of Making visible this paradox and leveraging the will the ALF: mutual respect, peace, freedom and human of dialogue and change existing in our societies is rights. They came to us to meet people of other the basis for an exciting role for the Foundation and countries and cultures, and to work with them for its Networks in the coming years. Let us provide the better societies. Together, they created spaces of real Foundation for the people of the Mediterranean to dialogue, and they aquired competences for making do more together.

The real owners of an institution whose main challenge has been to be credible and useful for all of them. (*) The achievements underlined in this review would We have succeeded reasonably. For most of them, not have been possible without the commitment and participating in one of the Foundation’s activities has enthusiasm of all the members of the different staff, been a lively experience. Working together they had my two predecesors, Executive Directors Traugott the opportunity to know each other and share the Schoefthaler and Lucio Guerrato, and without the dreams of their generation. Together, they worked for vision and resolution of President André Azoualy. making possible a future shared by people of different origins. They discussed how to make possible societies Andreu Claret where the right to participate, to decide about one’s Executive Director of the Anna Lindh Foundation self identity, would be more than a dream.

Conceiving intercultural dialogue as a real exchange among women and men living on both shores of the Mediterranean has been the clue of our success. The limits of mobility have been the main obstacle for involving more people in our activities and achieving a larger impact. Many years ago, Anna Lindh herself raised this question stating that, “The most important issue we have to deal with is freedom of movement.”

“I have never had such a long-lasting, effective opportunity in my life. This exchange shaped my career path. My entire organisation changed. It helped me to identify the needs and get better equipped to address them. It was a life-time experience.”

Rami Shamseddine, 31 years. Twinning Exchange beneficiary from Lebanon to Slovenia
