International Forum “Stronger together” in Slovenia

The Slovenian NGO Povod and SLOGA (Slovenian NGDO platform for development cooperation and humanitarian aid), with the financial support of Anna Lind Foundation (ALF), organised on November 13th and 14th 2012, an international forum titled “Stronger Together”.

The forum was opened by an interesting panel “The Euro-Mediterranean Space in Times of Changes – the Arab Spring and Looking Ahead”, consisted of national and international (Tunisian and Lebanese) guests, which were discussing about the following topics: political, social and cultural changes in the Arab world after the Arab spring, their impact on relations in the broader Euro-Mediterranean region and the role of civil society.

The programme also offered two workshops (the first one focusing on the role of women in the Arab world during and after the revolution and the second one about young people as new ideas’-/ideologies’-holders), included the annual meeting of the Slovenian ALF Network members and an informal gathering for those interested in cooperating with organizations from Tunisia and Lebanon.
