epresentatives of civil society organizations, members of the Anna
Lindh Network, based across the 42 member countries, are invited to
apply to take part in the region’s largest civil society gathering and

face of the region’s most pressing problems
The Forum will bring together civil society organizations, youth
associations, regional institutions, media bodies, donor agencies and
foundations to exchange practices, to promote partnerships and to
advocate for policy and operational measures for a new horizon of
people-to-people cooperation around the Mediterranean, based on a set of
common values and putting intercultural dialogue as the central tool
for this cooperation and as a response to the main regional
socio-cultural challenges.
The topics of discussion for the participants will be more
cross-cultural understanding, building a Mediterranean community with
shared values and based on mutual knowledge; more gender empowerment,
underlining the central role of women as actors for dialogue and
identifying ways to make this role more visible and sustainable; a more
sustainable future with increased opportunities for young people in
terms of social participation and entrepreneurship and identifying
shared approaches for regional environmental challenges; more
interaction and exchanges across the Euro- Mediterranean, taking into
consideration social dynamics of integration, acceptance of cultural
diversity within the societies of the region, exchanges of experiences
and know-how.
Forum 2020 also provides a strategic opportunity to reaffirm the
Foundation’s intercultural dialogue mandate in the Balkans, with the
Croatian EU Presidency offering a bridge between Europe, the Balkans,
the Middle East and North Africa.
