Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) is seeking creative artists and cultural groups or entities capable of designing and implementing one of two types of interactive/cultural activities that will take place during the Forum: Networking Activities or Cultural Activities. The Forum will be held from 18 to 20 June 2025 in Tirana, Albania.
The ALForum 2025 will bring together around 1,000 participants including civil society and academic entities, young leaders, media outlets, influential figures, governments and institutions representatives, policymakers and other relevant stakeholders from 43 countries across the Euro Mediterranean region. Together, at the Forum people will share ideas, co-create actionable solutions, and engage in transformative discussions in the field of intercultural dialogue.
The networking activities will take place in indoor spaces between parallel sessions of the Forum while the cultural activities will take place outdoor in an open space that is accessible to the general public and the Forum participants. Performances and activities will be repeated multiple times throughout the three days of the Forum.
Selection criteria will be based on the quality of the applications received. Priority will be given to affiliated creative artists and cultural groups or entities that are members of the ALF Network. A gender, youth and geographical balance between regions and countries and diversity of cultural backgrounds will also be observed.
ALF will cover travel costs, accommodation and main meals for the accepted creative artists and cultural groups or entities for the entire duration of the ALForum and the means necessary to carry out the selected activities. Funding will be provided according to the following categories: up to 3,000 EUR (covering a maximum of three individuals) or between 3,000 EUR and 6,000 EUR (covering a maximum of five individuals).
