Representing ALF Danish Network at the Anna Lindh Foundation HoNs Meeting in Alexandria
From December 11-13, I had the privilege of attending the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) Heads of Network (HoNs) meeting in Alexandria, Egypt, as the representative of the ALF Danish network. It was an inspiring and productive gathering, bringing together partners from over 40 countries to discuss the future of intercultural dialogue and collaboration across the Euro-Mediterranean region.
One of the central topics of discussion was the highly anticipated ALF Forum 2025, set to take place in June in Tirana, Albania. This major event will serve as a platform for fostering exchange, strengthening partnerships, and advancing key initiatives within the ALF network.
I am excited to share that Crossing Borders will play a significant role in the forum through an insightful session “Words Across Borders: A Space for Connection and Reflection”, using art and the written word to encourage dialogue and collaboration. Throughout the meeting in Alexandria, we explored various strategies, formats, and approaches to ensure the session’s success and impact.
It was truly a pleasure reconnecting with partners from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, all committed to fostering mutual understanding and cooperation. The energy and dedication within the ALF network continue to inspire, and I look forward to contributing further to this important mission.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Crossing Borders session at ALF Forum 2025—exciting discussions and collaborations are on the horizon!
