The Anna Lindh Foundation is an inter-governmental institution bringing together people from across the Mediterranean to improve mutual respect between cultures and to support civil society working for a common future for the region. Since 2005, the ALF has launched and supported action across fields impacting on mutual perceptions – education, culture and media – as well as developing a region-wide Network of over 4000 civil society organisations. Through its action and reflection the ALF aims to contribute to the development of an Intercultural Strategy for the Euro-Mediterranean Region, providing recommendations to decision-makers and institutions and advocating for shared values. The main scope of the ALF is overcoming the misunderstandings and stereotypes which affect relations between and within the societies of the Region, a task which became of utmost importance in the last decade. As a contribution to the creation of a space of prosperity, coexistence and peace, the ALF works to restore trust in dialogue and bridge the gaps in mutual perceptions, as well as promoting diversity and coexistence. The Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures has a legal personality as an international organisation based in Alexandria (Egypt) and registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Arab Republic of Egypt. The Foundation was created by the governments of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership the far-reaching political agreement established in 1995 between the European Union and its Southern Mediterranean partners with the purpose to bring people together from across the Mediterranean to improve mutual respect between cultures and to support civil society working for a common future for the region. The Anna Lindh Foundation is co-funded by the European Union.
