II. Partners

The ALF supports only multilateral projects based on a minimum 1 + 1 partnership formula. For more information see the Guidelines, article D.6 Partnerships.

The partnership with other organisations/institutions in other countries is a very important element in ALF granted projects. Previous projects granted by the ALF proved the need for the partners to know each other well and tp have previous experience of working together. It is also very important to define together your different roles and responsibilities in each step of the project from the conception, the fund raising, the preparation, the running of activities and their visibility, to the evaluation and reporting. It is therefore not recommended to find a partner at the last minute, especially if you only know this organisation/institution through a call for partners. Partners do not have to be members of the ALF Networks. The project should involve at least one partner in addition to the leader applying for the project. This partner should be from the other side of the Mediterranean than the leader. There is no limits in the number of partners. There is no need to have the same number of partners between the European countries and the countries of the Southern shore of the Mediterranean Each partner listed below must sign and stamp a partnership statement that the applying organisation has to submit with the application (seeAnnex L Partnership Agreement Template).2.1 Number of partners and countries involved in the implementation of this project:

Yes

Please explain how:

The target group of the member of the NGOs have been involved both in the needs assessments and the planning by proving their own analysis and the documentation for the context, the main issues and the situation of different groups in their societies. They have also contribute to the planning of the project by choosing the locations for the workshops and the public screenings and offering their network and the Media for the communication strategy.

g) How will participants be selected for the project activities?:

Through public calls published at the websites of the partners in the 5 countries. Contacts through the networks of the partners should also apply for participation. Furthermore printed Call in their language- will be shared to schools, camp refugees, religious and ethnic communities etc, in the 5 cities. The criteria for the selection will be to secure the representativeness of the desirable target groups - gender, religious, nationality - and to have the desire and skills to communicate with different people of the same age.

3.16 Project Originality and InnovationIs it the first project of its kind or does it take place regularly?:

First time

Please specify:

The originality and the innovation of the project based on the role of Youths as explorers and amateur filmmakers of the life of the others. They will act as ambassadors of their own group.It will be the first time for all the youth participants to approach the reality of their society as a miniature of the region where 3 religious exist and the movements of the population has created a mosaic of multicultural and multinational societies. The innovation of the project comes from a networking of dialogue and of cultural exchanges which will be developed. The viewers of the films will be part of this network as they will vote their favourite films with the Eurovision Contest technique

3.17 How has the project been developed and planned in your organisation and with your partners?:

The leader and the partners came in a dialogue with conferences and exchange of mails to evaluate prior experience and to add innovate aspects in the current project. After the success of the program The unknown Life which had been developed and implemented with 12 Youths from Greece and 12 from Germany and its significant impact both in Greece and Germany we came in the conclusion that Youths are the best ambassadors for transnational and intercultural dialogue and the best promoters on how the diversity between nations could be a channel of communication and not a topic of debate. The partners provided their knowledge for the assessment of the needs of intercultural dialogue, of understanding diversity and of spread the democratic values among the population in their countries. Taking in account this experience, we developed the program with two aims: a) to transfer the know how in the NGOS partners: Association House of Culture and Art/Morocco, Young Palestinian Filmmakers Society/Palestine, Aditus/Malta and institution of artists/Algeria with the initial training seminar in order to create a multiply force of educators. b) to organise with the partners local training workshops with Youth participants coming from a variety of origin-national, religious, cultural. We planned with each partner the specific time table of the activity in each country/city. We choose the appropriate methods to reach the target group in each region according to different circumstances.

For the evaluation of the project the leader and the partners will use the tools:1. Questionnaires after the seminar in Athens. Persons involved: 5 representatives from each organization-partner in the activity. Time September: 2013. They will evaluate the offered training, the tutors, the educational material and the taught methodology2.Questionnaires before and after the workshops with the youths.

Viewers are called to select their favorite film with the exception of which will be made by participants from their country.

4.2. What is the expected Impact and Sustainability of the project?:

Public screenings and discussions for the films will take place after the end of the program in other places than the ones of the final events of the project. These events will multiply the effect in the targeted groups and in the large scale of the societies. Thanks to the nature of the outcomes (films) and the chosen media for distribution (You Tube and social media)-the continuity of the impact has been foreseen. For this purpose and before the project ends we will encourage viewers and followers in social media to upload their similar stories-texts or videos. The spaces of dialogue and the upraised networking among the participants will also add possibilities for a sustainable impact of the project.

With the empowerment of the NGOs by the training of their H.R. and by transferring the know how to encourage and train young people to make amateur films, we will achieve to have a multiplying factor in each region. Also the participants themselves which will make the films and their families will act as promoters of the initiative in their social environment. Furthermore by the delivery of the outcomes in the ALF national networks we plan to influence the policy makers and the relevant authorities in each country to adopt similar practices. For the follow-up the impact in long term the leader has planned to submit the films in local, regional and international Youth Film Festivals and to keep alive the network of the participants.

4.3. What are the main risks that can negatively affect the implementation of the project, and how will you manage those risks?:

A.For the funding: if the Greek Ministry will not be able to confirm its financial contribution we have prepared 2 alternatives: 1. The Municipality of Athens. 2. History Doc itself. B. Associates for the visa issues in the Arab countries are the Embassies of Greece in each country. In our past activities we solved similar problems thanks to this support. C. Main risks come from the political situation in the Arab region. For the Palestinian partner we have already made an agreement with a non for profit organization in Israel, the CoPro who has access in similar ethnics and religious groups. If problems will occurred in Algeria and Morocco we have chosen substitutes partners in Egypt, Tunis, Turkey and Cyprus.
